As a movie critic who has spent countless hours binge-watching shows and movies since the advent of streaming platforms, I must say that the anticipation for the final season of Stranger Things is palpable. Having witnessed the growth of these young actors from the first season to the current one, it’s fascinating to see how they have transformed both on and off screen.

The popular series Stranger Things is preparing for its last season, and the head of Netflix has shared his insights regarding Season 5.

The popular science fiction horror show “Stranger Things,” created by the Duffer Brothers, is available on Netflix. This series debuted in 2016 and will conclude with its fifth and last season in 2025. Despite having just five seasons, it took almost a decade to complete the production of this series. A three-year gap existed between Season 3 (released in 2019) and Season 4 (released in 2022). The filming for “Stranger Things” Season 5 was initially set for 2023, but it was delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. As a result, fans have been eagerly waiting for over two years for the fifth season. Recently, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos shared his thoughts regarding the final season.

Ted Sarandos has been providing updates regarding the much-loved series “Stranger Things.” In a recent update, he hinted that the final season of this beloved show is coming soon and it’s “absolutely fantastic,” as shared on platform X (formerly Twitter). According to him, the final season delves deeply into the strong emotional bond viewers share with the characters. Since we’ve grown alongside these kids, seeing the cast in their adult years brings a highly emotional experience. Given the profound impact the show has had, it’s understandable that Sarandos believes it will be an emotional farewell. As fans have watched the actors mature from childhood to adulthood on screen, one of the stars, Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven, is already married before the release of the final season. Brown has previously mentioned that it feels strange as she looks back on her time in the show. She was just 10 when filming began and will be 20 during the filming of “Stranger Things” Season 5.

During the Q2 2024 Earnings Call, Sarandos revealed that the fifth season of Stranger Things would debut in the year 2025. He had earlier mentioned that from 2025 onwards, viewers can look forward to new seasons of Wednesday, Stranger Things, The Night Agent. Additionally, they are currently producing One Piece, generating much anticipation. However, a specific release date for the final season in 2025 has yet to be announced.

Back in July, a sneak peek for the next season of “Stranger Things” was released. Noah Schnapp, known for his role as Will Byers, hinted that Season 5 would be exceptional. The preview also featured a nostalgic clip of the actors riding their bikes, which they did when they were children, symbolizing the length of the series and the transformation of the young cast members into mature adults.

It’s clear that the series took quite some time to conclude, given that it spanned just five seasons. Caleb McLaughlin, who portrays Lucas, even playfully mocked the extended wait for the final season. He posted a picture of himself with co-stars Sadie Sink (as May Mayfield) and Maya Hawkeye (Robin Buckley), manipulating it to make them appear much older. In the caption, he wrote “Sneak peek of Season 5” accompanied by eye emojis, poking fun at the idea that they would age while waiting for Season 5. “What a leap in time,” one fan concurred.

Stranger Things Season 5 will premiere on Netflix in 2025.
