Stranger Things Complete Series 4K UHD Blu-ray Box Sets Arrive in July With Four Collector Editions

Stranger Things Complete Series on Blu-ray and 4K UHD arrives this July in four collector box sets, but which edition should you buy?

Netflix Stranger Things Complete Series July 2026

This is BIG, and we’re not just talking about the box it all arrives in.

Boutique label Arrow Video has announced a Complete Series set collecting all five seasons/42 episodes of streaming giant Netflix’s nostalgic horror show, Stranger Things. It will be available in four different versions–Special or Deluxe, 4K or HD Blu-ray–all available on July 28, just 13 days after the tenth anniversary of the premiere.

A phenomenal worldwide hit, Duffer brothers Matt and Ross’ Stranger Things broke viewership records across all seasons, beloved for its quirky characters, heart, humor, dark frights, and perhaps most of all its painstaking recreation of ‘80s middle America. The Bros. are indisputably old-school, stating, “We 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.”

Special Edition

This is huge news for a couple of reasons. Only Seasons One and Two ever had a physical media release, in 2017 and 2018 respectively, as Target exclusives. Both fetched hundreds of dollars on eBay, even though the first season notoriously disappointed many with its lack of high dynamic range and only Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Season Two did a bit better, with DTS-HD Master Audio and HDR10, but that was the last disc offering… until now.

Moreover, this drop suggests a continued willingness by the streamer to offer some of its most coveted properties on disc. It comes on the heels of the revelation that Criterion Collection editions of KPop Demon Hunters and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein are on the way, recent Oscar winners both. Theoretically, this strategy would take a nibble out of The Big Red N’s core business, but perhaps this is a major-league endorsement that digital delivery and physical media can happily co-exist?

The 25 discs themselves appear to be identical between the Special and Deluxe editions. The production values of the show were always cinema-quality, and the 4K will be presented in Dolby Vision at its proper 2:1 aspect ratio with the original DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround and two-channel stereo for all episodes plus an upgrade to Dolby Atmos for the final two seasons. The on-disc bonus content includes:

  • Interviews with the cast and crew 
  • Behind-the-scenes featurettes 
  • Set tours 
  • Bloopers
