Stranger Things fans rejoice for Arrow Films has saved the day. We are going back to the classics of collecting physical media again. So when announcements are made for streaming platform content to be released onto Blu-ray and/or 4K UHD, it is a big day.
From the WSQK The Squawk today (Thursday 19th March), the announcement was made that Arrow Films will collaborate with Netflix for Stranger Things: The Complete Series on Blu-ray and 4K UHD. The complete collection in both Special and Deluxe editions is now available to pre-order. The full box set will be released 27th July in the UK and 28th July in the US and Canada.
Available through all big in-store and online retailers across the respective territories, this release marks quite a moment for the world of physical media. It will be the first time ever that every single episode of the critically acclaimed, cultural phenomenon Netflix series will be available for viewing on Blu-ray and 4K UHD formats.
An array of bonus content will be included in these Special and Deluxe editions. Featuring items like bloopers, interviews with cast and crew, and behind-the-scenes experiences will combine to provide the ultimate Stranger Things experience. Above and beyond the Special edition, the Deluxe edition will be presented in custom packaging. Newly-commissioned artwork will be used and a larger amount of extra material will be included — a 148-page booklet, exclusive art cards, a Hellfire Club patch, double-sided posters for each of the five seasons, and so much more!
Brothers Matt and Ross Duffer created the series and it debuted on Netflix in 2016. Shortly after its release, Stranger Things climbed the charts and became one of Netflix’s most popular series. Seasons 1-4 surpassed 1.2 billion views. Premiering in 2025, the fifth and final season was the biggest English-language premiere week, and it joined season 4 on Netflix’s Most Popular List. In, what could have only been, preparation for the final season, the streaming of seasons 1-4 caused it to propel back into the Global Top 10 for a record eight week period. To top all this, it also became Netflix’s most watched New Year’s Day.
The Duffer brothers discussed how they “…always dreamed that Stranger Things could be owned in its entirety, not just as a collector’s set, but as a way to preserve the show for decades to come.” A truly remarkable vision from a pair that created something that has impacted so many lives.
