Do you remember the last time you checked in with the kids from Hawkins, Indiana?
It’s been over three years since Stranger Things season 4 premiered, but the show will return this week for its fifth and final season.
However, Netflix is splitting this season into three volumes, including a significant gap between the first two. Presumably, Netflix believes more people will stream it that way.
To help you navigate the split, Watch With Us has put together the Stranger Things season 5 episode release schedule.
