When does Stranger Things Season 5 start?
Vecna has returned and this time he’s after Will. The final journey in Hawkins is almost here, though fans will get to enjoy it a little longer before saying goodbye completely. Stranger Things was officially renewed for its fifth and final season, closing a story that began nearly a decade ago.
"Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things," Matt and Ross Duffer wrote in an open letter to fans. "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."
Confirmed Release Schedule
- Season 5 will premiere on Netflix on Thursday, 27 November 2025.
- The season will be divided into three parts:
- First four episodes: late November 2025
- Next three episodes: 26 December 2025
- Final episode: 1 January 2026
This finale feels both exciting and emotional. The young cast has grown up alongside their fans, and it’s clear that this ending will mark the end of an era. Many are eager to see what the Duffer Brothers will create next, possibly even a Stranger Things spin-off, as reported by Variety.
