The second part of the final season of Netflix's hit show Stranger Things is set to hit the streaming service on Christmas Day. Ahead of that release, the show's creators have a bit of a warning for fans.

The eight-episode final season of "Stranger Things" is being dropped in three parts. The first part, "Volume 1," premiered on Nov. 26. Three more episodes, "Volume 2," will hit Netflix on Christmas Day. The finale will drop on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, 2025.

“ Stranger Things ” co-creator Ross Duffer has revealed the runtimes for the final four episodes of the series.

Last Christmas, the NFL first gave Netflix its heart, er, games. The very next day, Nielsen gave away the viewership stats: more than 30 million people worldwide watched the games on average. A not-insignificant attraction was the second game’s halftime show, Beyoncé, which peaked the day’s streaming tune-in.

With a new batch of episodes arriving on Christmas Day, Matt and Ross Duffer discuss the sometimes obscure movie and video game references in the final season so far.

While "Stranger Things" fans wait for the final episodes to premiere on Netflix this holiday season, show creators Matt and Ross Duffer warn it will be a "dark Christmas."

"They have had their hearts broken by shows they loved, that failed fans in the end," he recently told Variety, adding that series creators, the Duffer brothers, "did not want, and do not want, and refuse to be one of those shows".
