It seems that frustrated by the lack of updates from Netflix, fans have taken matters into their own hand.

According to an X (formerly Twitter ) user Stranger Things News, the release date was uncovered by inspecting the source code of the show’s Netflix page. The leaked information included key details such as the show’s ID, collection info, and the premiere date, all of which were accessible through the browser’s developer tools.

The data reportedly revealed that Stranger Things Season 5 is set to premiere on Thursday, November 27, 2025.

What Does This Mean for Stranger Things 5?

While this discovery has fans buzzing, it’s important to note that nothing has been officially confirmed by Netflix. However, the leaked date aligns with patterns seen in other Netflix releases and tech-savvy fans can verify it themselves by examining the website’s code.

Interestingly, the leak suggests season 5 might drop in a single volume as there is only one release date. However, it is too early to say as Netflix can change plans to divide it into two volumes like season 4. It is also possible that this is the release date for the second part and the first might arrive earlier.

Meanwhile, there were some rumors recently that Netflix could release Volume 1 in November 2025 and follow up with Volume 2 in December 2025. The latest leak aligns with the previous rumors.

If the leaked data is accurate, Stranger Things season 5 will debut on Thanksgiving Day. Since most people are busy with family gatherings on this day, this could impact immediate viewership. However, it may also draw in holiday binge-watchers over the long weekend.

The Long Wait Frustrates Fans

It has been over three years since season 4 debuted in 2022, and the extended wait for the final season has left fans feeling frustrated. The lack of promotional content—no teasers, trailers, or official updates has also added to the impatience. With just eight episodes in the final season, many feel the lengthy delay is unwarranted and hope the show’s conclusion will be worth the wait.

The latest leaks might force Netflix executives to release something concrete to satisfy fans. Recently it was reported that the first promo for Stranger Things season 5 could be on the way.
