The fifth and final season of Stranger Things will pick up after the events of Season 4, which began streaming in two parts on Netflix in May and July of 2022, respectively.

Here is Season 5’s official synopsis reads:

The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.

In Season 4, Eleven, AKA Jane Hopper, and her pals in Hawkins, Indiana battled the evil, otherworldly mastermind Vecna, who triggered the opening of a portal between the real world and the hellish Upside Down.

Stranger Things Season 5, which officially wrapped production in December 2024, will be released in three parts: The first four episodes will hit Netflix on November 26, the next three episodes will begin streaming on Christmas (December 25), and the series finale will air on New Year's Eve (December 31).

Episodes will be available to stream beginning at 5PM PT/8PM ET on their respective dates.

Stranger Things first premiered on Netflix on July 15, 2016.
