The final season of Stranger Things will be released in November 2025. The series, which has become a global phenomenon, promises viewers an epic and dramatic conclusion to the story. The fifth season will be divided into three parts, similar to the fourth. The first part will be released on November 26, 2025, the second on December 25, and the final episode on December 31. The season's events take place in the autumn of 1987, about a year after the events of the fourth season. Will Byers will be at the center of the plot, and the heroes' main goal is to find and kill Vecna. The town of Hawkins is in ruins due to the opening of multiple 'Rifts,' and the government has imposed a military quarantine, forcing Eleven into hiding again. The heroes will need the 'full party' to stand together one last time to face a darkness 'more powerful and deadly' than anything they've encountered before.
The main cast returns, including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Brett Gelman, Priah Ferguson, and Jamie Campbell Bower.
