Netflix Offers Early Screening for Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 1

London residents have a unique chance to watch the first episode of Stranger Things season 5 ahead of its global release. Netflix is hosting an exclusive late-night event on November 13, featuring two screenings of Chapter One: The Crawl. The showings will take place in central London at 10:15 pm and 12:30 am.

How to Obtain Tickets

Tickets are free but extremely limited. Interested fans must enter a ticket lottery through ApplauseStore using the promo code ST5FANS. Selection will be random, so applicants should specify their preferred screening time and hope for the best. Only those aged 18 and over can participate.

"Tickets are free, but are 'extremely limited,' according to the streamer."

Be sure to create and activate an ApplauseStore account before applying; otherwise, the promo code will not be accepted.

What If You’re Not Selected?

Those who don’t win the ballot or are outside London must wait for the official premiere on November 26. Stranger Things season 5 is set for a three-part release schedule over the coming months.

"Fans will then be randomly selected from the draw, so choose which screening you'd prefer and hope for the best."

Summary

This early screening offers London fans a rare opportunity to experience Stranger Things season 5 episode 1 before its official launch, though access is limited and requires advance registration.
