When Does Stranger Things Season 5 Start?

Stranger Things faces its final chapter, but fans still have time before saying goodbye to Hawkins. The popular series was renewed for a fifth season, and excitement is building as the story rushes toward its conclusion.

Creators’ Insights

"Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things," Matt and Ross Duffer wrote in an open letter to fans, per the Hollywood Reporter. "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."

Season 5 Release Details

The fifth season will premiere on Netflix on Thursday, 27th November 2025.
The season is divided into three parts:

First four episodes released in November
Next three episodes on 26th December 2025
Final episode on 1st January 2026

Looking Ahead

It’s a bittersweet moment as the original young cast has grown up, but anticipation remains high to see their next moves. Fans are also eager to discover what the Duffer Brothers will create following this finale, including the possibility of a Stranger Things spin-off, as suggested by Variety.
