Unfortunately, Stranger Things fans are going to have to wait a little longer for the fifth and final season to drop on Netflix, but a new documentary related to the immensely popular series is about to premiere on the streamer.
Debuting Tuesday, April 15, Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadow takes viewers behind the scenes with the cast and crew of the award-winning live stage show that expands the Hawkins universe. If you live in the New York area, the show is in previews at the Marquis Theatre and is set to open on April 22. But what about our small-screen obsession Stranger Things?
Production has officially wrapped on the final season, and Netflix released all the Season 5 episode titles in November 2024. When are we heading back to Hawkins for the final eight episodes? When’s the Stranger Things Season 5 release date? Here’s everything we know.
Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadow Netflix Release Date:
The new documentary drops Tuesday, April 15 at 3:00 a.m. ET on Netflix.
Has Netflix Announced An Official Stranger Things Season 5 Release Date?
Nope. But the streamer has revealed that the final season will be released in 2025.
How Many Episodes Will There Be of Stranger Things Season 5?
The fifth season will consist of eight episodes.
When Will Stranger Things Season 5 Premiere on Netflix?
Again, there’s no official release date but there have been a variety of rumors about when the final season will drop on the streamer. Per What’s on Netflix, there’s speculation that Season 5 will be released in two installments, similar to Stranger Things Season 4.
There’s also talk that the rumored release date could be Thursday, November 27 (Thanksgiving Day). Production on the final season wrapped in December 2024, but an official trailer has yet to be released. Based on all the above info and the fact that the final season will be a high priority, we expect Stranger Things to return on a big streaming day in the second half of 2025, perhaps Labor Day weekend or Thanksgiving.
I’d add July 3rd or 4th to that list, but the final season of Squid Game is set to drop on June 27 and I don’t think the streamer would release two huge final seasons in back-to-back weeks. Plus, Netflix usually drops a big movie on July 3 (like Beverly Hills Cop 4 in 2024).
If the final season is divided into two parts, it could be a Thanksgiving release followed by the second part dropping around Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But that’s all pure speculation at this point.
How To Watch Stranger Things on Netflix:
