Overview
- Netflix released the official trailer on December 30 for the series ender, titled Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up.
- The finale debuts December 31 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Netflix and in select North American theaters, with screenings running through January 1.
- Ross Duffer reports roughly 1.1 million RSVPs and more than 3,500 sold-out showtimes across 620+ theaters, with over 500 locations hosting the franchise’s first big-screen outing.
- The episode runs about two hours and five minutes, capping a season rolled out in three parts to build toward a New Year’s Eve conclusion.
- Fan pushback lingers with a large petition for alleged “unseen footage” and unusually low user scores for Episode 7, as cast, writers, and the Duffers reject rumors of missing material and describe the finale as a deliberately satisfying close.
