For a show that’s spent the better part of a decade making Hawkins feel like a real place you could get lost in, it’s a little wild that you couldn’t actually own the whole thing on physical media until now. That changes soon: every episode of Stranger Things, all five seasons, is coming to a single box set courtesy of Arrow Video, working in partnership with Netflix. It’s a genuinely rare move for Netflix, a streamer that has historically kept its original shows off physical media almost entirely.
Pre-orders for Stranger Things: The Complete Series are open now here, with the set releasing July 27 in the UK and July 28 in the US and Canada.

Two Editions, One Very Full Shelf
The set comes in Special and Deluxe editions, both available on Blu-ray and 4K UHD, and both packed with the kind of bonus material that turns a show into an archive: bloopers, cast and crew interviews, and behind-the-scenes featurettes across all 42 episodes and 25 discs.
The Deluxe Edition is where things get properly excessive, in the best way. On top of everything in the Special Edition, it adds new wraparound box artwork, a 148-page artbook with design sketches, concept art, and new writing from the Duffer Brothers, Shawn Levy, Andrew Stanton, and composer Kyle Dixon, plus a fold-out map of Hawkins, reversible sleeves, a Hellfire Club patch and d20, an arcade token, and five double-sided posters featuring Kyle Lambert’s original key art.
Full technical rundown for both editions:
- 1080p Blu-ray and 4K (2160p) Ultra HD presentation of all 42 episodes across five seasons and 25 discs
- Original DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround and stereo audio, plus Dolby Atmos for Seasons 4 and 5

Why Bother With Physical Media in 2026
It’s a fair question when the whole show already lives on Netflix, but that’s kind of the point the Duffer Brothers were making with this release. “We always dreamed that Stranger Things could be owned in its entirety,” said Matt and Ross Duffer, framing the set less as a collector’s flex and more as a way of preserving the show itself for the long haul, outside of whatever a streaming library looks like in another ten years.
For anyone who’s been burned before by a favorite show quietly vanishing from a platform, that’s not a small thing.
Arrow’s Dean Lawson, the company’s Director of Sales and Marketing, put some numbers behind why this particular show landed the deal, calling it a series that’s “colossal in influence and scale” and noting it’s stayed part of the pop culture conversation for close to a decade now.
For the uninitiated (are there any left at this point), Stranger Things follows a group of kids in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, after one of their friends disappears and drags the rest of the group into a government conspiracy, a parallel dimension, and whatever happened to be trying to kill them that season.
Pre-orders for the 25-disc Stranger Things: The Complete Series box set are live now here. The set arrives July 27 in the UK and July 28 in the US and Canada, in both Special and Deluxe editions, on Blu-ray and 4K UHD.
