After several months of mystery, the team behind Stranger Things confirmed that the fifth season will be the last to premiere of the original Netflix series. The new episodes will arrive during 2025.
Undoubtedly, the last part is one of the most anticipated, especially due to the controversies in which some of the cast members have been involved, such as Noah Schnapp, the young actor who portrays Will Byers.
Millie Bobby Brown will return to star in the drama as Eleven, and it’s time for the characters to have a good conclusion, especially after having suffered throughout the fourth part with Vecna, the main villain.
When will Stranger Things, Season 5 premiere?
The fifth season will mark the long-awaited conclusion of the science fiction masterpiece by the Duffer brothers. It was believed that the new episodes would arrive in 2024, but it has been delayed until 2025.
The exact month or day of its release has not been confirmed yet, but it is believed that it could be at the beginning of next year, as the final installment is still being filmed.
According to the show’s creators, the story will take a significant time jump, which was to be expected given the growth of the main actors, who were only children when they began filming the first season.
What will the new episodes of ST be about?
The story could take several turns. After Will confirmed that Vecna hasn’t really died and the group lost Eddie, the young people have to face the threats that followed them into their world.
It’s only a matter of time before his return, stronger than ever and with a deep thirst for revenge against Eleven and her friends. Therefore, if the time jump becomes a reality, the season would start off with a bang.

The breach between the Upside Down and Hawkins is very thin, and the threat to end any life it encounters will be present. However, Vecna won’t be their only problem, but all the creatures that will come with him.
Will any main actor not be present in the final?
Millie Bobby Brown and the rest of the main actors will be back for the finale of Stranger Things on Netflix. However, they won’t be the only ones, as being the highly anticipated conclusion, there will be big cameos from mega-stars.
Linda Hamilton will be one of them, and everything indicates that Ryan Reynolds could also participate in a supporting role. It seems that the cast will be more united than ever…
Fans can also expect some epic comebacks, and the most rumored one is Joseph Quinn as Eddie, who lost his life in season 4. Cara Buono, Eduardo Franco and Amybeth McNulty are also on the list.
Shawn Levy, the director of the episodes, has spoken with Variety about how he will deal with the simple fact that the protagonists don’t look like they used to, as the filming of the series took an eternity to begin.
Well, he confessed that there is nothing to worry about, as the production team is very aware of these physical transformations, which they will conceal thanks to hairdressing, makeup, and wardrobe.
“We have already seen the cast of our series grow before the public, between the ages of 12 and 22, every human being changes profoundly. This passage of time is definitely not helping. That said, our hair, makeup, and wardrobe department are quite exceptional, as they use wigs, costumes and makeup.
And the 80s are also our friends when it comes to bringing these young adult actors back to their iconic characters from Hawkins. So we are going to use all the tools available to us. And I know that our cast is eager to get back to work like the rest of us“, he said.
