Stranger Things season 5 is set to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, 27th November 2025. This final chapter of the series will be released in three parts: the first four episodes in November, three episodes on 26th December, and the season finale on 1st January.
"Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things," wrote Matt and Ross Duffer in an open letter. "At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but - as you’ll see for yourselves - we are now hurtling toward our finale."
Though the show’s end is near, fans can feel grateful for the additional content still coming. The cast has grown significantly since the series began, making this conclusion both fitting and emotional. There is excitement about what the Duffer Brothers will create next, possibly a Stranger Things spin-off, according to Variety.
