Samsung Electronics and Netflix have partnered to release an exclusive "Stranger Things" theme pack and wallpaper collection for Galaxy users, marking the conclusion of the iconic Netflix series that defined popular culture for nearly a decade.
Beginning January 12, 2026, Galaxy smartphone users across 186 countries can download the limited-time content at no additional cost through the Galaxy Store, provided they have downloaded or launched the Netflix app.fonearena
The collaboration arrives as Netflix completes the run of "Stranger Things," which concluded with Season 5. Since its debut in 2016, the series emerged as one of the most-watched programs in Netflix's history, establishing itself as a cultural touchstone across multiple generations and regions.
Season 5 demonstrated the show's sustained popularity, ranking number one in 91 countries following its release on November 27, 2025, and accumulating 59.6 million views within its first five days—the strongest opening performance for any English-language series on the streaming platform to date. The final season notably made "Stranger Things" the first Netflix series to place all five seasons simultaneously in the Global Top 10, a distinction it maintained for five consecutive weeks.adgully
The digital collection centers on visuals and imagery inspired by Season 5, allowing fans to personalize their devices with elements from the show's final chapter.
The package includes one comprehensive system theme and five live-action wallpapers featuring characters and iconic locations from the series, including Hawkins and the supernatural realm of the Upside Down. Samsung designed these visuals to capture the dark, eerie, neon-soaked aesthetic that became synonymous with the series throughout its run.moneycontrol
The availability window for this exclusive content extends from January 12 through February 22, 2026. Samsung reserves the right to modify or withdraw the offer at any time without notice, meaning fans should access the collection during this limited promotional period.
The theme can be applied to compatible Galaxy smartphones to completely transform the device's user interface, while the wallpapers can be applied independently to home and lock screens, offering flexibility for users who prefer different levels of customization.timesofindia.indiatimes
Technical compatibility requirements apply to the content. The full "Stranger Things" theme requires Galaxy smartphones running Android operating system versions 15 or 16, though not all models in these categories are supported.
The five wallpapers have broader compatibility and function on any Galaxy device running Android 8 or later. Availability may vary depending on device model and regional restrictions.business-standard
Accessing the content requires a straightforward process. Galaxy users must download or open the Netflix app to enable eligibility, then navigate to the Galaxy Store to locate and download the themed content at no cost.
Once downloaded, the theme can be applied by selecting the apply option within the system settings, which will change the overall appearance of the phone's interface. Wallpapers can be configured through the device's settings by accessing the wallpaper and style section, allowing users to set images as their home screen, lock screen, or both.
This partnership reflects Samsung and Netflix's ongoing commitment to creating content-driven customization experiences for Galaxy users.
The two companies have previously collaborated on multiple occasions, including offering special themes during the launch of "Stranger Things" Season 4 and creating themed content for the film "KPop Demon Hunters." These collaborations demonstrate a strategic approach to extending popular entertainment franchises beyond streaming platforms and into the daily digital experiences of mobile device users.fonearena
The timing of this release capitalizes on the emotional connection fans have developed with "Stranger Things" throughout its near-decade run. As viewers conclude their journey through Hawkins and the Upside Down, the ability to incorporate show-inspired imagery into their personal devices offers a tangible way to commemorate the series' cultural impact and legacy.
For Samsung and Netflix, the collaboration extends the promotional reach of the final season while providing Galaxy users with exclusive, character-focused customization options unavailable through standard system settings or competing device ecosystems.
