STRANGER THINGS Cast Members to Visit THE TONIGHT SHOW to Celebrate Final Season

In celebration of the final season of Netflix's “Stranger Things,” several cast members are stepping out of Hawkins and into Studio 6B for a series of guest appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Earlier this fall, Broadway alum Gaten Matarazzo was the first cast member to join Fallon ahead of the final season premiere. Also, before the first batch of episodes drops, “The Tonight Show” will debut a special one-minute series recap featuring the cast, plus Joe Keery will appear on the Thanksgiving episode on Nov. 27.

Additional cast appearances will follow, including Millie Bobby Brown, who will co-host with Fallon on Dec. 7, which is the final post-Sunday Night Football special episode of the season.

Later in December, “The Tonight Show” will feature a full week of “Stranger Things” guests: Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, and The Duffer Brothers. Additional cast members set to appear include Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink (John Proctor Is the Villain), Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Maya Hawke (off-Broadway's Eurydice). More information and additional exact guest dates to be announced at a later date.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” airs 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and streams next day on Peacock. The show is executive-produced by Lorne Michaels and produced by Chris Miller and Gerard Bradford. Miller is the showrunner. "The Tonight Show” tapes before a live studio audience from Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Center.

"Stranger Things 5" will release on Netflix across three premiere dates: Volume 1 on November 26 (Episodes 501-504), Volume 2 on December 25 (Episodes 505-507), and the Finale on December 31 (Episode 508). Each volume releases at 5 PM PT.
