It’s rare for Netflix shows and movies to make their way into physical media, with only a handful making the transition to disc, but perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that the streaming service’s biggest ever show is one of the few to make a leap.
“We always dreamed that Stranger Things could be owned in its entirety,” said Matt and Ross Duffer, creators of the series, “not just as a collector’s set, but as a way to preserve the show for decades to come.”
Stranger Things ended with Season 5 at the turn of the year, and in our review of the finale, we called it a “massive spectacle” that “knocked it out of the park when it got back to the deep relationships forged in the Wheelers’ basement.”
