Netflix’s sci-fi horror-drama series Stranger Things is returning for its fifth and final season — and it’s coming in three parts.
The fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit show will roll out in three parts: the first four episodes arrive on November 26, three more drop on Christmas Day, and the finale lands on New Year’s Eve.
Volume 1: premieres on Wednesday, 26 November 2025, at 3:00 AM SAST
Volume 2: premieres on Thursday, 25 December 2025, Christmas at 3:00 AM SAST
Volume 3: The Finale premieres on Wednesday, 31 December 2025, New Year’s Eve, at 3:00 AM SAST
Netflix announced this during its Tudum 2025 event, dropping both the release news and a teaser. The clip blends nostalgic moments from past seasons with blink-and-you-miss-it flashes of Season 5, closing on Will Byers yelling “Run!” as terror closes in.
Here’s a look at the full synopsis for Stranger Things 5: “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.”
The cast of Stranger Things 5 includes Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), Priah Ferguson (Erica Sinclair), Brett Gelman (Murray), Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna), Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler), Amybeth McNulty (Vickie), Nell Fisher (Holly Wheeler), Jake Connelly (Derek Turnbow), Alex Breaux (Lt. Akers), and Linda Hamilton (Dr. Kay).
