Netflix scheduled the release of three new episodes from the fifth and final season of "Stranger Things" for December 26, 2025.

The globally popular science-fiction show drives subscriber engagement and retention heading into the new year. The series finale is scheduled for January 1, 2026. This content drop represents the company's most notable activity, as Netflix made no major corporate or financial announcements today.

Despite the content focus, market analysis continues to center on Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).

Reports highlight ongoing investor concerns regarding regulatory scrutiny and the financial risks associated with the WBD bid. Netflix announced no new developments concerning the deal, and sources reported no significant market reaction.
