‘Stranger Things’ says goodbye
Earlier on New Year’s Eve, “Stranger Things” will make one last trip to the upside-down with its series finale. Netflix is dropping the much-hyped eighth and final episode of Season 5 at 8 p.m. Eastern. Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Noah Schnapp and other denizens of demon-haunted Hawkins, Indiana, will engage in a final boss battle with the villain Vecna as the show that debuted in 2016 comes to a close. Fans have been anxiously speculating about which, if any, of the stars the creators may kill off in the finale. It’s one of Netflix’s biggest nights ever, and could easily be a record-setter for viewers. The episode is also screening in several hundred movie theaters.
