And fans won’t have to wait long to reunite with Eleven and the gang. Netflix confirmed that "Stranger Things 5" will debut in three volumes, dropping four episodes on November 26, three on Christmas Day, and The Finale on New Year’s Eve, each releasing at 5 p.m. PST.

As the beloved show prepares to close its gates for good, "Stranger Things" continues to expand its universe beyond the screen.
