If you’ve been waiting for the ultimate way to preserve your trips to the Upside Down, we have some fantastic news. Netflix is teaming up with boutique physical media label Arrow Video to release a massive Stranger Things: The Complete Series box set on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD.
Physical releases for Netflix Originals are incredibly rare, but given that Stranger Things is the undisputed crown jewel of the streamer’s catalog, it’s only fitting that it gets the deluxe treatment. While earlier seasons did get physical releases, the later seasons have not.
Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming physical release of Stranger Things.
When will the Stranger Things box set be released?
You won’t have to wait too long to get your hands on this dimension-splitting collection. Stranger Things: The Complete Series is scheduled to release on July 27th in the UK and July 28th in the US and Canada.
The box sets will be available across all major in-store and online retailers, but pre-orders are already live right now on the official Arrow Video website.
What’s included in the Stranger Things Deluxe Edition?
Arrow Video is pulling out all the stops for this one. While there will be standard and special editions available, the main event is the 25-Disc Deluxe Edition.
Priced at $269.99 / £219.99 for the 4K UHD version, the Deluxe Edition is packed to the brim with over five hours of bonus features, exclusive collectibles, and brand-new wrap-around box artwork by Juan Ramos.
Here’s a full breakdown of exactly what’s in the 25-disc box set:
