Netflix is currently down for many users right now at 8 p.m. ET on New Year's Eve (December 31, 2025), apparently due to massive traffic from everyone trying to watch the Stranger Things Season 5 finale.
The final episodes (Volume 2) dropped tonight as the big New Year's Eve event to close out the series, and the surge in viewers has caused the service to crash for a lot of people. Screens are stuck on loading, error messages popping up, the usual outage chaos.
It's only been down for a short time so far, but perfect timing for maximum frustration on NYE. Anyone else getting hit with this, or somehow managing to stream?
