Stranger Things 5 Volume 2 Launches Worldwide Today With Three Extended Episodes

After record demand for Volume 1, Netflix says it reinforced its service for today's global drop.

Overview

  • The new block consists of episodes 5–7, titled Shock Jock (~1:08), Escape From Camazotz (~1:15) and The Bridge (~1:05–1:06).
  • Release times were set locally for a simultaneous launch, including 7 p.m. in Mexico and 10 p.m. in Argentina.
  • The feature-length series finale is set for the end of December in most territories, runs about 2 hours 8 minutes and will play in limited North American theaters.
  • Volume 1 set streaming highs, including 8.46 billion minutes viewed in Nielsen’s weekly tally and 59.6 million first-week views in Netflix’s metric.
  • The Duffer brothers say this penultimate drop brings core mythological answers, with cast teasing heavy emotional stakes without confirming specific outcomes.
