Stranger Things Season 5 to Conclude with Three-Part Release

Fans of Stranger Things are buzzing with excitement as Netflix announced that the fifth and final season of the beloved sci-fi show will drop in three parts. The news came during Netflix’s Tudum 2025 fan event, revealing that Stranger Things Season 5 will kick off with Volume 1 on November 26, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT. Volume 2 will follow on December 25, 2025, and the big finale will hit screens on December 31, 2025. This split-release approach is similar to what we saw with Stranger Things Season 4 and other Netflix shows like Cobra Kai.

• Stranger Things Season 5 to Drop in Three Volumes, Beginning November 26
• Final Season of Stranger Things Splits into Three-Part Release, Teases Epic Showdown
• Netflix Sets Stranger Things Farewell in Motion with Staggered Finale Episodes

Set in fall 1987, Season 5 picks up with Hawkins in chaos after Season 4’s wild ending, with the town under military lockdown because of those massive Rifts. Our favorite crew—Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), and the rest—are back together, hunting for Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), who’s still out there causing trouble. Eleven’s on the run from the government, and a creepy new threat is creeping up on Hawkins, setting the stage for a final showdown.

The announcement came with a teaser trailer that’s pure nostalgia, flashing back to Season 1 moments that hit right in the heart. The cast, including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, and newcomer Linda Hamilton, got real about their decade-long journey, with behind-the-scenes clips showing tears and hugs as they wrapped filming. The Duffer Brothers, the masterminds behind the show, promised a finale that answers big questions about the Upside Down and delivers a proper send-off.

Splitting the season into three parts feels like Netflix’s way of keeping us on the edge of our seats. Fans are already buzzing about episode titles like “The Crawl” and “The Rightside Up,” guessing how the Hawkins gang will end their story. Brace yourself for an emotional, edge-of-your-seat goodbye to Stranger Things!
