Stranger Things Set For Fith and Final Season

The fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit series, Stranger Things is gearing up for a 2025 release date. The final season has been pulled forward from the 2026 slate that was previously announced.

Season 5 will have eight episodes. Netflix released the episode titles on Nov. 6, 2024, or Stranger Things Day, which is the date of Will Byers’ original disappearance that started the whole story in Season 1. From the looks of episode 2’s title, someone or something else goes missing this season as well.

“In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins,” a teaser clip revealed with the episode titles in order.

This confirms a time jump in Season 5 which will pick up more than a year after the events of Season 4, which began in March 1986. The Season 4 finale ended with Vecna opening a massive gate to the Upside Down, leading to terrible destruction in Hawkins as the three groups of the original cast members reunited there.

There is no official release date yet, so keep your eyes peeled for more information.
