The big news for Stranger Things fans has finally arrived. Netflix has officially confirmed the release year and episode titles for the final season.

Fans are celebrating Stranger Things Day all around the world today. We were anticipating that there would be some new updates from season 5 and Netflix has not disappointed as we get some brand new information.

Stranger Things Season 5 Release Date

On the occasion of Stranger Things Day, Netflix uploaded an announcement video for season 5 on social media. It has finally been confirmed that Stranger Things Season 5 will be released in 2025.

It means that there will be a 3-year gap between the last two seasons. While it might seem far, it is still good considering that the production was halted due to SAG-AFTRA and WAG strikes.

Earlier Netflix CEO had also revealed that Stranger Things 5 will be released in 2025. Still, it is unknown if Netflix will divide the final season into two parts like season 4.

Lately, Netflix has had a tradition of releasing new seasons in two volumes to ensure the timely release of new content. This strategy is likely to be applied to Stranger Things as we can expect Volume 1 in Summer 2025 and Volume 2 in Fall 2025.

Stranger Things Season 5 Episode Titles

In addition to the release date, Netflix has also revealed the episode titles for season 5. Let’s take a look.

• Episode 1 – The Crawl
• Episode 2 – The Vanishing of ***** Wheeler
• Episode 3 – The Turbow Trap E
• Episode 4 – Sorcerer
• Episode 5 – Shock Jock
• Episode 6 – Escape From Camazotz
• Episode 7 – The Bridge
• Episode 8 – The Rightside Up

The episode titles align with those leaked earlier in August 2024. The titles for the last two episodes were not revealed though, so we still got some new information. The last episode is titled “The Rightside Up,” which means that our journey has come full circle as the final episode of season 1 was titled “The Upside Down”.

Stranger Things Season 5 Setting

It has also been confirmed that the final season will take place in the fall of 1987. This means that there will be around a one-and-a-half-year time jump since season 4. While the fall usually means autumn, this season might be extended into December. The final scene could potentially be around Christmas as some set leaks suggested the same.
