Stranger Things creator teases the final season’s "eventful" premiere with the "craziest cold open we’ve ever done" Stranger Things creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer were involved in the same interview; however, it sounds as though the Duffer brothers wanted the finale to be seen on the big screen. "People don’t get to experience how much time and effort is spent on sound and picture, and they’re seeing it at reduced quality," said Matt Duffer. "More than that, it’s about experiencing it at the same time with fans." (Image credit: Netflix) So what changed? According to Puck, the big Variety interview, which also included quotes from cast and crew members, was conducted "weeks ago," meaning that the situation has since evolved, and no doubt more talks have taken place. Although Netflix has yet to confirm the news, the theatrical release would make sense as some of the streamer's biggest projects this year have had theatrical runs, such as KPop Demon Hunters and Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein. Showing season finales in theaters is no new thing, as earlier this year, the last episode of Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who season 2 was available to watch on the big screen. It is not clear at this point whether the season finale will be available to see in cinemas worldwide, or if this is just a US-only deal with AMC and other American cinema chains.
