The season will be split into three volumes. Season 4 was split into two volumes. The eight-part season 5 will be split into three parts, with the second part launching at Christmas 2025 and the finale launching on New Year's Eve.
Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria refused to discuss the split volume approach earlier this year, particularly as some fans were upset about the practice, but did leave the door open for more split seasons.
The trailer was announced by stars Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schanpp and Caleb McLaughlin, while Millie Bobby Brown couldn't be there because she's filming an Enola Holmes film in London
The fifth season, which wrapped production in December, will be the last. Last year, Netflix gave fans the episode titles for the upcoming installment, which are 'The Crawl,' 'The Vanishing of _____,' 'The Turnbow Trap,' 'Sorcerer,' 'Shock Jock,' 'Escape From Camazotz,' 'The Bridge' and 'The Rightside Up.'
Obviously, we're still missing something though, as second episode title leaves a bit of mystery with 'The Vanishing of _____.' We'll have to stay tuned for whatever or whomever is vanishing.
Season 5 will see new cast members Linda Hamilton, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux. They join principal cast members Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton.
Later additions Sadie Sink, Brett Gelman, Maya Hawke, Jamie Campbell Bower and Amybeth McNulty are also returning, with Bower embodying the big bad Vecna, who was introduced in Season 4.
We also know there will be time jump in Season 5 which will pick up in the fall of 1987, more than a year after the events of season 4, which began in March 1986. The Season 4 finale ended with Vecna opening a gate to the Upside Down, leading to mass destruction in Hawkins.

Marion County 2023 murder prompts continued calls for change, Netflix documentary
A call for change continues, exactly two years after a Marion County mother was killed by her neighbor in front of her young children. It was the end of an ongoing, racially charged feud between Susan Lorincz and Ajike 'AJ' Owens. Today, Owens' mother shared with me her motivation to change a state law and what she needs from the public right now. The past two years have been the hardest, toughest journey I've ever been on. It's been filled with grief, sadness, despair," said Pamela Dias, the mother of Owens. If you look at the young children left behind, you'll understand why. Two years ago, Pamela Dias was taking care of her four young grandkids - 3, 7, 9, and 12 years old - after their mother, Ajike 'AJ' Owens, was shot and killed just outside their Ocala home. Her killer, Susan Lorincz, wasn't initially arrested because she relied on the state's Stand Your Ground Law, which lets gun owners shoot in self-defense if they believe their life is in immediate danger. Now, Dias is on a mission to overturn the state's longstanding law. This task has never succeeded before, despite the highly publicized murder of Trayvon Martin in Sanford in 2012, which triggered nationwide protests. 'Never use the word never. There's always hope. And it'll just take those who are against it, those who want to stand for the right thing, to come together and unite. And if we do that, we can make a real change.' Dias is raising revenue to fight the law through her Standing in the Gap Fund, created in response to the death of her daughter. Dias also shared that it's a financial resource for families across the country who have been affected by race-based violence. Lorincz is now serving out a 25-year sentence for manslaughter, a punishment that was never considered acceptable for the life these children lost and the ongoing trauma they manage daily. 'Four children lost their mother because someone who was a racist decided to shoot through a locked metal door. That's unacceptable. We need real changes,' said Dias. Owens' story is the subject of a Netflix documentary, set to debut in the fall. They're also hoping that global attention will aid their push to repeal the state's Stand Your Ground Law.

I Live in the City Where Netflix's Thrilling New Crime Drama Is Set. I Barely Recognize It
Any well-reviewed crime drama that draws numerous comparisons to Apple TV's brilliant Slow Horses will easily earn a place on my to-watch list, but as soon as Dept. Q hit Netflix last week, I hit play without hesitation. The reason I was in such a hurry to dive in is that I live in Edinburgh -- the city where the new detective show is set. Edinburgh is often used as a filming location, but most of the time it simply provides a picturesque and/or historical backdrop for a TV show or film -- it's more about the aesthetic effect rather than playing a pivotal role in the plot. Dept. Q is different. Jaded detective Carl Morck, played by a grizzled Matthew Goode, who is recovering from a shooting that killed one police officer, nearly killed him and paralysed his partner on a call-out, has been tasked with running a new department delving into Edinburgh's cold cases. The case that Goode picks out, along with the circumstances surrounding his shooting, has complex, knotty links to Edinburgh's justice system and criminal underworld. Here, the city provides more than just a pretty skyline -- it's pulled into the foreground, with the key players moving between the grand courts on Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile and the grimier parts of the city that tourists never see. As someone who calls Edinburgh home, I'm more than familiar with the landmarks, but I don't recognize the side of the city I see in the show at all. That's not to say it's not accurate. Edinburgh Castle is obviously a familiar sight to me. Netflix Sure, Edinburgh isn't exactly a hotbed of violent crime compared with other cities in the UK and definitely compared with cities in the US. In the five years I've lived here, I can remember only one fatal shooting making the news. But I also fully acknowledge that the majority of organized crime is often hidden from the view of those not immersed in that world. Occasionally, violent incidents, police raids or trials spill over, sending ripples of anxiety through neighborhoods and cropping up in headlines. But artistic portrayals, while often exaggerated for dramatic effect, can expose us to versions of places that otherwise might remain hidden from view. As a city famed for its beauty, often thought of as genteel and rather sedate, it's interesting to see Edinburgh portrayed as a place that is so much more than the tourist ideal. Not since the 1996 film Trainspotting has a less romanticized vision of the city been seen on screen. Dept. Q even wasn't originally set in Edinburgh -- it's actually adapted from a Danish novel of the same name -- but as a resident, I appreciated the way it provided a different perspective on the place that I know and love. It was also fun to spot parts of town I'm intimately familiar with appear in a relatively high-production show -- the castle view from outside my favorite indie record store, for example. There are many flaws with Dept Q, from little niggles (what local journalist can afford to drive a Porsche?) to pacing issues -- especially in the first episode. The plot is so meaty that at times it becomes convoluted. But in spite of all of this, I found myself staying up past my bedtime to watch "just one more episode" -- as my husband and I would tell each other with a sideways glance, fully aware that we were succumbing to a full-on binge. Is it perfect? No. Am I already hankering after season 2? Absolutely. Am I hoping Edinburgh will loom even larger in future episodes? I'm asking nicely -- yes, please.
