Stranger Things Season 5 announcement breaks records

Stranger Things was first released on Netflix on 15th July 2016. Since then, for four seasons, the Duffer Brothers and the show's ensemble cast have told the story of 1980s Hawkins, Indiana, where a portal to an alternate dimension, the Upside Down, opens up.

The story first began when Will Byers, a young boy, went missing. His mother, Joyce, his friends, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin, and the police chief, Jim Hopper, look for him intensely, but he seems to have just vanished. On the other hand, a girl with psychokinetic powers, Eleven, escapes the experimentation laboratory in Hawkins and slowly becomes part of the group.

Will was actually taken to the Upside Down and is eventually rescued. But the evils of the Upside Down continue to plague Hawkins. The story continues as Will, Mike, Eleven, Dustin, Lucas, and Max (introduced in season two), along with a few other supporting characters, fight against the forces of the Upside Down.

Stranger Things Season 5 is releasing three years after season four came out in 2022. It's coming out in three volumes. The first four episodes will be released on 26th November 2025, the next three will be released
on Christmas, and the finale episode
will come out on New Year’s Eve. All the volumes will be released on the respective dates at 5 pm PT.

The video that Netflix posted on its social media channels announcing Stranger Things Season 5 has garnered over 250 million impressions in just four days. Stranger Things Season 5 is not going to arrive until November, but fans are already excited to watch how the last adventure plays out.

According to Tudum by Netflix, Stranger Things Season 5 has the following synopsis:

The fifth and final season kicks off in the fall of 1987.

“Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna,” the official synopsis reads. “But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”

Stranger Things Season 5 will have a total of eight episodes. The episodes are:

• The Crawl
• The Vanishing of …
• The Turnbow Trap
• Sorcerer
• Shock Jock
• Escape from Camazotz
• The Bridge
• The Rightside Up

The second episode's title, as you can probably tell, is incomplete and will be revealed later.

A few new actors are joining the cast of Stranger Things for season 5. The new cast members of Stranger Things are Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux, and Linda Hamilton.

The returning cast members of Stranger Things Season 5 are Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, and Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield.

Other Stranger Things favorites like Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Jamie Campbell Bower are also returning as Nancy Wheeler, Jonathan Byers, and Vecna, respectively. Joe Keery is returning as Steve Harrington, and Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, among others.

Stranger Things Season 5 volumes one, two, and three come out on 26th November 2025, Christmas, and New Year's Eve 2025, respectively, only on Netflix.
