Mississippi fans of “Stranger Things” might get to the New Year’s Eve Party a little late.
The series finale will drop on Wednesday, Dec. 31, and it’s going to be extra long.
Fans have followed the crew from Hawkins as they battled interdimensional threats and shady government agencies through five seasons. The series has provided a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia and sci-fi geek outs. Now, the kids are all grown up, and it’s time to see how (or if) they manage to save the world.
