It’s official: Stranger Things season 5’s mammoth year-long taking pictures schedule has ended. In even greater celebratory information, Netflix has confirmed one in all its flagship TV Originals will return someday in 2025.
Okay, we already knew that Stranger Things‘ final installment would air subsequent 12 months. Indeed, on November 6, aka Stranger Things Day, Netflix revealed that the primary present’s fifth and ultimate chapter would make its debut in 2025. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to see Netflix double down on its dedication to launch Stranger Things season 5 in some unspecified time in the future within the subsequent 12 months. Hey, making TV reveals is difficult, so there’s by no means any assure {that a} sequence’ subsequent season will likely be launched when individuals say it’s going to.

To commemorate the top of principal pictures, Netflix launched a bunch of recent behind-the-scenes pictures of Stranger Things 5‘s solid and crew on social media. There’s completely nothing new we will glean concerning the ultimate season’s plot from this picture dump, however not less than everybody seems to be having enjoyable on the set. It’s an excellent factor they’re, too, as a result of the most effective Netflix reveals’ fifth entry goes to be its darkest and most emotional but. That’s what I’m hoping for, anyway, as a result of it will be irritating if Stranger Things bowed out with a whimper, moderately than a bang.
It’s been a protracted street to Stranger Things season 5. The vastly fashionable sci-fi supernatural horror present’s fourth season launched in May 2022 – properly, half 1, comprising six episodes, did. You can learn my ideas on these entries in my Stranger Things season 4 overview. Its ultimate two episodes arrived two months later and you’ll examine the way it units up season 5 through my Stranger Things season 4 quantity 2 ending defined article.
Surprising nobody, Netflix renewed its massively profitable TV Original for a fifth albeit ultimate season weeks later. Unfortunately, Stranger Things 5‘s growth was considerably impacted by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, which is why Stranger Things‘ fifth season could not make its debut in 2024. With filming on Stranger Things season 5 not beginning till January of this 12 months, I used to be actually apprehensive that we would not see it till 2026 on the earliest. Thankfully, that will not be the case.
As lengthy because the wait has been, we have been given small morsels of details about season 5 to tide us over till its arrival on the world’s greatest streaming service. For one, on July 2, Maya Hawke, who performs Robin, mentioned season 5’s episodic runtimes will likely be enormous, with the actor describing them as “mainly, eight motion pictures”. Two weeks later, Netflix dropped a behind-the-scenes video of season 5 that teased new characters, fan-favorite team-ups, and a doable time bounce, too.
Let’s not neglect that the primary Stranger Things spin-off – a stage play prequel titled ‘The First Shadow’ – has additionally been out there to look at on London’s West End. It’ll make its Broadway debut in early 2025, so you’ll want to learn our overview of The First Shadow earlier than you test it out. Even for those who do, I believe Netflix might want to handle a few of The First Shadow’s huge lore reveals in season 5, in any other case Stranger Things 5 will run into the massive Marvel and Star Wars drawback.
