It will drop three more episodes on Christmas Day and the last chapter of the series on Dec. 31.

The finale, which runs two hours and five minutes, will screen on New Year’s Eve in hundreds of theaters across the U.S., including several in Maryland. The screenings will start at 8 p.m. and run through Jan. 1.
