The final season will be released in three parts. Part 1, consisting of the first four episodes, will be available on November 27, 2025. Following this, Part 2, which includes episodes 5 to 7, will be released on December 26, 2025. The series will conclude with a movie-length final episode on January 1, 2026. This finale may also have a limited theatrical release in the United States and Canada.
Episode Titles and Runtimes
Part 1 of Season 5 features four episodes with runtimes closer to feature-length content. Netflix has confirmed the titles and runtimes for the initial episodes: * The Crawl (1 hour 8 minutes) * The Vanishing Of… (54 minutes) * The Turnbow Trap (1 hour 6 minutes) * Sorcerer (1 hour 23 minutes)
The titles hint at the intrigue and suspense that will unfold as the season progresses. Episode 8 is titled "The Rightside Up".
What to Expect
Season 5 picks up in the fall of 1987, with Hawkins, Indiana, still reeling from the opening of the Rifts at the end of Season 4. The official synopsis teases a final battle, with Eleven and her friends uniting to find and defeat Vecna. However, with Vecna's whereabouts unknown and Hawkins under lockdown, this mission will be their greatest challenge yet.
The Duffer Brothers have created a darker, high-stakes narrative that brings all the major characters together to resolve long-running mysteries. As Stranger Things reaches its end, Season 5 aims to reveal the deepest secrets of the Upside Down, complete major character arcs, and deliver a strong emotional payoff.
Cast
The core cast is back, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Winona Ryder, and David Harbour. New cast members, including Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux, and Linda Hamilton, are also joining the final season.
Indian viewers can enjoy the new season in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
