Stranger Things Season 5: Release Dates and Shocking New Footage Revealed!

Summary

  • Stranger Things‘ final season will be released in three parts on November 26, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.
  • There’s a time jump of over a year between seasons 4 and 5, new characters, and Vecna threatening Hawkins.
  • Fans may be unhappy about the serialized release, but will likely have to wait for the next trailer to get more details.

Netflix’s stay in Hawkins, Indiana will be wrapping up towards the end of this year. We’ve learned the exact date from the Tudum fan event, and they even shared some sneak peeks of the upcoming footage.

Despite not being Netflix’s initial blockbuster, Stranger Things could very well be their most significant success. Shows like Wednesday, Squid Game, Bridgerton, and others might argue differently, but Stranger Things has held a strong grip on the cultural consciousness for nearly a decade. The first season of Stranger Things was released in July 2016 and gradually transformed into a pop culture sensation. Although the team behind Stranger Things takes their time between seasons, fans have grown accustomed to being patient as they eagerly anticipate each new episode of their beloved sci-fi/horror series. Now, die-hard fans know exactly how long they’ll have to wait for the final episodes of their favorite show.

On Saturday evening, Netflix showcased their much-anticipated details during the Tudum fan event – unveiling release dates and sneak peeks of the upcoming final season. While they took a leisurely route to this point, they managed to excite the audience with appearances by Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp, who added to the excitement with their on-stage charisma. Additionally, recorded messages from Millie Bobby Brown and Gaten Matarazzo were aired. After this build-up, they finally delivered the main event: a trailer packed with both old and fresh footage, along with an announcement that the final season will be rolled out in three separate installments.

Stranger Things Season 5 Will Release On Three Different Days: November 26, Christmas, & New Year’s Eve

Viewers expressed disappointment when the fourth season of Stranger Things was divided into two parts, and now, Netflix has opted to continue this approach by releasing the fifth season in three installments. The last season will be distributed across November 26, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve. While it’s likely that fans will eventually accept this decision, spreading the final season over more than a month (not on a weekly basis) is expected to be met with significant resistance. Despite Netflix possibly having data supporting their choice, it doesn’t make it any easier for viewers to cope with this unconventional approach.

Regarding the events in the upcoming final season of “Stranger Things”, it’s tricky to predict with certainty. Here’s what we do know: The timeline has advanced by over a year from seasons four to five, and Linda Hamilton, among others, will be joining the returning cast members. The series villain Vecna opened a gateway to the Upside Down at the end of season four, which doesn’t seem promising for Hawkins, Indiana. As for further details, fans will have to keep an eye out for the next trailer from Netflix.

Stranger Things‘ final season is set to debut on Netflix on November 26.
