Stranger Things Season 5 Filming Wrap Up Date is Revealed

Fans have been eagerly awaiting for the final season of Stranger Things. However, they might have to wait for a long time before season 5 will grace their screens.

Production for Stranger Things 5 commenced in January 2024, and filming has been underway for 11 weeks. Given the ambitious scale of this season, the production timeline is considerably longer than that of previous seasons. Fortunately, we now have confirmation of the precise date when filming is set to conclude.

Stranger Things 5 Filming Wrap-Up Date

Atlanta Filming has reported that filming for Stranger Things season 5 is scheduled to conclude on December 22, 2024. With production commencing on January 9, 2024, this indicates that the entire production process will span a full year.

The latest update may come as a disappointment to Stranger Things fans. A recent report from Forbes indicates that the release date for Stranger Things season 5 is considerably farther away than anticipated. Following the conclusion of filming, post-production work typically spans around 5-8 months. However, due to the heavy emphasis on visual effects (VFX) in this season, the post-production timeline may extend further.

Stranger Things 5 Potential Release Date

According to Forbes, it's plausible that season 5 could be ready for release sometime between May 2025 and August 2025. This would mark a three-year gap since the debut of season 4 in the summer of 2022.

Season 4 was split into two parts due to ongoing post-production work. The final season will probably follow the same pattern. This strategy aligns with Netflix's approach to many of its major shows, allowing for a more polished and timely release of content.

The final season of Stranger Things is likely to debut in Summer or late 2025. Rumors suggest that season 5 may feature a Christmas theme, which could align with a potential release in December 2025. However, if the season is split into two parts, there's the possibility of releasing part 1 earlier.

The projected release timelines for the final season of Stranger Things hinge on the absence of further production obstacles. Season 3 experienced delays due to the pandemic, while season 4 was impacted by WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Fans will be hoping for a smooth production process for season 5, enabling them to enjoy it at the earliest opportunity possible.

Previously, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown shared that there were approximately nine months of filming remaining for the show. During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, she provided an update on the production status of season 5, stating:

"We have nine months left... I really like Netflix, I'd like to be employed by them for a really long time, because I sign a piece of paper that tells me I'm not allowed to say anything, and I think I owe it to them to keep my mouth shut... I know what happens to my character. I haven't read the script because they are in the process of writing them. I think I read up to episode 6. I know what happens to my character.... But like I said, I like working for Netflix, I'm going to be a good girl."

Meanwhile, production is in full swing in Atlanta. Recently, the first looks of Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer, and Maya Hawke from season 5 were leaked on the internet. Additionally, the Duffer Brothers have been actively sharing behind-the-scenes photos on social media platforms.
