The end of an era is finally here. After nine years of monsters, friendships, heartbreak, and unforgettable moments, Stranger Things Season 5 is heading toward its grand finale. With Volume 2 already streaming worldwide, all eyes are now on Volume 3, the final chapter that will officially close the story of Hawkins.

Netflix has confirmed that the Stranger Things 5 finale (Volume 3) will be released on December 31, 2025, making it one of the biggest New Year’s Eve streaming events in Netflix history. Fans across the globe are preparing to watch the final episodes the moment they go live.

Netflix earlier this year announced that Stranger Things 5 will follow a completely new release model. Instead of a single drop or a two-part split, the final season arrived in three separate Volumes:

• Volume 1: November 26, 2025

• Volume 2: December 25, 2025

• Volume 3: December 31, 2025

Volume 1 delivered the first four episodes, Volume 2 brought the next three, and the grand finale will hit on New Year’s Eve.

To make sure you don’t miss the ending of Stranger Things, here is the exact release schedule for every major country and region.
