It’s almost time to drench ourselves once more in all that awesome Eighties nostalgia, because Netflix’s Stranger Things season 5 finale – the first batch of four episodes, to be clear – arrives on November 26, 2025.
We’re not exactly sure what’s more frightening, the stalking demon named Vecna who’s back for additional malevolent mayhem, or the fact that it’s been nearly a decade since this killer sci-fi horror series debuted in 2016.
For this series-ending outing, most of the ensemble cast reprises their roles, including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Cara Buono, and Jamie Campbell Bower. The Terminator franchise’s Linda Hamilton is also a new addition this year, playing a ruthless scientist.
Netflix’s Stranger Things season 5 release schedule will see its initial four chapters roll out on November 26. Meanwhile, the next three extended episodes drop on Christmas Day, followed by the finale on December 31, which will also debut in cinemas simultaneously. But before that, summon all your brain power and focus in on this puzzling Stranger Things four-season refresher quiz!
