Stranger Things Season 5 is almost here and the countdown to the final chapter of Netflix’s biggest sci-fi series has officially begun. Volume 1 arrives on November 26, 2025, marking the start of an emotional, action-packed sendoff for the Hawkins crew. With just months left, fans around the world are preparing to stream the last season the moment it drops.

And yes — we’ve included the exact release time for your country so you don’t miss a single second of Stranger Things’ endgame.

Season 5 Is Split Into Three Volumes — Here’s the Full Schedule

Netflix confirmed earlier this year that Stranger Things 5 will follow a brand-new release structure. Instead of the traditional weekly rollout or two-part drop, the final season will be released in three Volumes:

• Volume 1: November 26, 2025
• Volume 2: December 25, 2025
• Volume 3: December 31, 2025

Volume 1 will feature the first four episodes, followed by three more episodes in Volume 2. The grand finale will arrive in Volume 3 on New Year’s Eve. This release pattern is slightly different from Season 4, which was released in two parts. But it looks like Netflix wants to build even more anticipation for the endgame.

What’s even more exciting is that the episodes are expected to be longer and more cinematic. Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley) has teased that Season 5 feels like “eight big movies,” which explains why Netflix decided to break it into three parts.

Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 Release Time: When Does It Drop in Your Country?

Netflix will drop Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 simultaneously worldwide, meaning fans across the globe will get the episodes at the exact same moment. However, the local time will vary depending on where you live.

For the United States, the release follows Netflix’s typical schedule of 5 p.m. PT (Pacific Time). For the rest of the world, that translates to late-night, early-morning, or next-day release times.
