Filming for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things has concluded after delays, setting a potential late 2025 release on Netflix. The concluding episodes, described as cinematic, will finish the Hawkins storyline and further explore the Upside Down's mythology. Rumors suggest a two-part release in October and November 2025, reminiscent of the previous season. The core cast returns with some new additions, and the plot will feature a time jump to 1987, focusing on the final confrontation with Vecna. While no trailer is available yet, Netflix has shared behind-the-scenes content, and the series will be followed by spin-offs, including a play, an animated show, and a live-action series.
