Summary
So far in 2025, I’ve enjoyedthe gripping Max medical dramaThe Pittand Hulu’s dramaParadisestarring Sterling K. Brown, but I’m also looking forward toNetflix’sWednesdayseason 2 andStranger Thingsseason 5. Both shows have creepy and memorable settings, well-written and dynamic characters, and more than a few mysteries.
The Duffer Brothers confirmed aStranger Things2025 release date, but at the time of this writing,there is no exact date yet. Now thatWednesdayseason 2 is coming out in the summer of 2025, with part one arriving on August 6th and part two on September 3rd, I’m wondering whenStranger Thingsseason 5 could come out.
Could Stranger Things Season 5 Be Released In November 2025?
SinceWednesdayseason 2 is being released in August and September 2025,I thinkStranger Thingsseason 5 could come out in the fall of 2025. Maybe the final season could be released in October or November 2025. While I’m not sure that the final season would be released in December since that month is usually centered around Christmas movies, that’s definitely a possibility, too. I previously thought fans would get to seethe last battle between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Vecna (Jamie Campbell Brown)in the summer, but I think Netflix willstagger the releases ofWednesday
andStranger Things. Fans need time to watch each season and properly enjoy the new episodes.
Of course, it’s also possible that Netflix could surprise fans and announce that the final season ofStranger Thingsis coming out in June or July. It would also begreat to see a trailer or even a brief teaser. But, since so much editing and production work goes into every season of the popular series, it’s possible that June or July would be too soon. So, October or November seems like a safe bet.
There’s also one big question: willStranger Thingsseason 5 bereleased in one or two parts?I think the last episodes should come out all at oncesince it would be fun to binge-watch them. I’m sure I’m not the only fan eager to dive into the next part of this fascinating story and to find out the . However, I’m also wondering if theStranger Thingsseries finale will be released at least a week or so after the other episodes. That wouldmake the final episode feel like a big and exciting event. I’m also excited that the series finale is going to be long, which I think is the right choice. A lot needs to happen, and viewers need to say goodbye properly.Finn Wolfhard called the final season “a huge season"and, according toVanity Fair, Matt Duffer said on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast:
“I would expect the finale to be at least two hours.”
When wereStranger Thingsseasons 1-4 released?
While fans are still waiting to find out theStranger Thingsseason 5 release date, they canwatch the documentaryBehind The Curtain: Stranger Things: The First Shadowon Netflix,which tells the story of the play’s original London, England run back in 2023. Kate Trefry, who also co-wrote the play and has been a writer and story editor forStranger Thingsseasons 2 through 5, toldPEOPLEthat the play is definitely connected to the upcoming final season of the hit series. She said:
“I’m really excited for season 5 to come out so that everybody can see the full story because season 5 has so much to do with Henry Creel. The play and season 5 are kind of a couplet. They’re part of the same story. I’m excited for everyone to finally see the whole picture.”
