The fifth and final season of Stranger Things will be released on Netflix in three parts during late 2025:
- Part 1, consisting of 4 episodes, will premiere on November 26, 2025.
- Part 2, consisting of 3 episodes, will follow on December 25, 2025 (Christmas Day).
- The final episode will be released on December 31, 2025 (New Year's Eve).
This release schedule concludes the series with a final chapter that continues the story from the previous seasons. The season is set in the fall of 1987, focusing on the characters locating and confronting Vecna amid new challenges in Hawkins, including a military quarantine and Eleven going into hiding.
So you can expect new episodes starting on November 26, 2025, with the final episode arriving at the end of that year.
