Everything We Know About ‘Stranger Things' Season 5 So Far
Updated with the latest: Stranger Things Season 5 has its release date — or 3, rather. The final installment of the Netflix tentpole series will arrive in three parts at the end of this year. Season 5 officially wrapped production December 2024 after it had reached the halfway point in July. Production on the final season kicked off in January 2024. More from Deadline Maya Hawke Gives 'Stranger Things' Season 5 Filming Update: 'We're Making, Basically, Eight Movies' 'Stranger Things' Season 5 Episodes Will Be Shorter Than Season Four, Duffer Brothers Say Everything We Know About 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 So Far The fifth and final season of the show has been in the works ever since Part 2 of Season 4 arrived in July 2022, with the writers room for the next season opening August that year. A pandemic delaying Season 4's arrival and then dual Hollywood strikes pushed Season 5 further than originally planned. Find everything we know about Stranger Things Season 5 below. When will Season 5 come out? Netflix announced at its big TUDUM event May 31 that the first of three parts of the final season will arrive Nov. 26, 2025 on the streamer. Part 2 will come out on Christmas, and the epic conclusion of Part 3 will arrive New Year's Eve. RELATED: Many of the stars like Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard and more have reacted to the momentous occasion on social media, posting thoughtful reflections about the decade spent making this show and more. How many episodes are in Season 5? Season 5 will have eight episodes. Netflix released the episode titles on Nov. 6, 2024, or Stranger Things Day, which is the date of Will Byers' original disappearance that started the whole story in Season 1. From the looks of episode 2's title, someone or something else goes missing this season as well. Episode 1's title had been previously released. RELATED: Season 5 Episode Titles 'The Crawl' 'The Vanishing Of' 'The Turnbow Trap' 'Sorcerer' 'Shock Jock' 'Escape From Camazotz 'The Bridge' 'The Rightside Up' 'In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins,' a teaser clip revealed with the episode titles in order. This confirms a time jump in Season 5 which will pick up more than a year after the events of season 4, which began in March 1986. The Season 4 finale ended with Vecna opening a massive gate to the Upside Down, leading to terrible destruction in Hawkins as the three groups of the original cast members reunited there. RELATED: A few other insights into the newly released episode titles, paired with some photos posted on the Stranger Things Instagram accounts as well as that of Ross Duffer, suggest more Dungeons and Dragons lore with the 'Sorcerer' title of Episode 4, a radio station hangout — 50,000 WSQK Watts — that potentially ties into 'Shock Jock' Episode 5 (which rhymes with The Squawk pictured on a van for the outlet) and the mysterious yet oddly specific term Camazotz, which could either represent the planet from Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, a Mayan bat god from the Underworld or something else entirely. Season 4 introduced some terrifying demi-bat creatures that caused both Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) damage. Episode 3 likely refers to the Turnbow Land Development & Realty company portrayed in an Instagram post from Ross Duffer. Will there be new characters in Season 5? Season 5 will see new cast members Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux joining the cast of Stranger Things. Fisher will play a more grown-up Holly Wheeler.

'If season 4 was big, season 5 definitely feels bigger,' Bower said in a behind-the-scenes video released at the halfway point of production of Season 5. Did Sadie Sink's Character Max die in Season 4 of ? Max Mayfield's fate is uncertain, but Sink has revealed that she will be running in some way in Season 5 as of a recent Variety cover story. Sink spoke with Deadline about her character's heartwrenching finale ending in Season 4. RELATED: Did Joseph Quinn's character Eddie Munson die? Eddie Munson, a breakout star character of Season 4, is more certainly dead, though Quinn did give pause in a red carpet interview for A Quiet Place: Day One when the reporter suggested he might still be back in Season 5 somehow. Who else is behind Season 5? The Shawshank Redemption (1994) director and Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont came out of retirement to direct on the installment. Of course, the Duffer brothers helm the series, and Shawn Levy produces and directs on the show. RELATED: Will there be more Seasons of ?

Uma Thurman and her rarely seen youngest daughter Luna, 12, support her oldest Maya Hawke, 26, at opening night of Eurydice in New York
Uma Thurman was joined by her rarely seen daughter Luna at the opening night of Eurydice at the Signature Theatre in New York City on Monday. The actress, 55, an her youngest, 12, stepped out to support her oldest daughter Maya Hawke, 26, ahead of her Off-Broadway debut. Maya stars as the titular character in Sarah Ruhl's adaptation of the classic Greek myth, which will run until June 22. Walking the red carpet head of the show, Uma looked effortlessly chic in a wool coat, which she teamed with smart trousers. Smiling for photos beside her mum, Luna opted for a black top and a pair of straight leg jeans. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Maya looked stunning in a draped, satin midi dress which she teamed with a matching rust-coloured umbrella and heels. Uma's two older children, Maya and Levon - whom she shares with her ex-husband Ethan Hawke — are well known for having followed their famous parents into acting. But she has cultivated a far more private existence for her youngest daughter Luna, whom she shares with her ex, the French hedge fund manager Arpad Busson, 62. A rare exception occurred in 2023 at the New York City premiere of Wes Anderson's critically acclaimed comedy Asteroid City, which Maya had a small role in. Even though Luna isn't usually spotted at similar events, this time she was seen posing for photographers. While little is known about Luna, Uma previously opened up about why she decided to give her daughter four middle names. 'Maya came up with the best excuse, which was that I probably wouldn't get to have any more children, so I just put every name that I liked into Luna's,' she told Jimmy Fallon during a Tonight Show appearance. 'We couldn't quite agree on the name, so we call her Luna. She's lucky that way.' Uma and her financier ex Arpad Busson began their on–off relationship back in 2007, and revealed that they were engaged in June of the following year, but they called off the engagement in 2009. The split was short-lived, though, and Uma and Arpad reunited in 2010, with the engagement back on. Luna arrived in 2012, but her parents still hadn't married by 2014, when they called it off their engagement for a second time and seemingly split for good. In early 2017, Uma and Arpad became engaged in a custody battle over their youngest child, with The Pulp Fiction star ultimately receiving primary physical custody of Luna. Prior to dating Arpad, Thurman was married twice: from 1990 to 1992 to Oscar winner Gary Oldman, and then from 1998 to 2005 to Ethan Hawke after they met on the set of their 1997 sci-fi drama Gattaca. They welcomed Maya in 1998 and Levon in 2002, before separating in 2003. Prior to his relationship with Uma, Arpad's best-known partner was Elle Macpherson, whom he was together with from 1996 to 2005 and shared two sons.

Maya Hawke Joins Hunger Games Prequel
After Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes , the Hunger Games franchise is pushing forward a few years to tell the story of a young Haymitch Abernathy in Sunrise on the Reaping . The cast for the movie has been slowly building, and according to The Wrap, Stranger Things star Maya Hawke has joined the project in the part of champion Wiress. For context, Wiress was played by Amanda Plummer in Catching Fire , and she's a fellow victor of District 3 alongside Beetee (Jeffrey Wright). It's funny that Hawke should be cast because both her and Plummer have been in Quentin Tarantino flicks. Hawke was in Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood , and Plummer was famously Yolanda in Pulp Fiction. Besides Hawke, Sunrise also has McKenna Grace (Maysilee Donner), Whitney Peak (Lenore Dove Baird), and Joseph Zada, who will play a young Haymitch. Jesse Plemons is also playing a younger Plutarch Heavensbee (originally played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman), and Kelvin Harrison Jr. is playing a young Beetee. Gone are the days of the YA blockbuster, but Hunger Games still manages to get fans riled up—especially since the last movie really leaned into the forbidden romance of Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth. Hopefully Sunrise on the Reaping will continue the main class struggle themes of the original franchise; but I am hoping that a third film will push the story past the events of Mockingjay and explore how the world has evolved post Hunger Games. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set to come out in theaters on Nov. 20, 2026.

'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' Expands Cast With 'Karate Kid: Legends' Star Ben Wang, Maya Hawke & More
The tribute list is growing day by day, as Lionsgate gears up for a highly anticipated return to Panem. American Born Chinese star and upcoming Karate Kid: Legends incumbent Ben Wang has been cast in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping , the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' prequel novel. The announcement comes hot on the heels of Maya Hawke's ( Stranger Things , Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ) casting as Wiress, the eccentric and intelligent victor from District 3. Wang portrays District 12 tribute Wyatt Callow in the film, joining an already stacked roster that includes Joseph Zada ( Invisible Boys ) as a young Haymitch Abernathy, Whitney Peak ( Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ) as Lenore Dove Baird, Mckenna Grace ( Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire ) as Maysilee Donner, Jesse Plemons ( Breaking Bad ) as Plutarch Heavensbee, Kelvin Harrison Jr. ( Chevalier ) as Beetee, and Lili Taylor ( The Conjuring ) as Mags. Announced last June, Sunrise on the Reaping is set before the original Hunger Games trilogy, opening on the 50th Hunger Games — the violent, bloody Second Quarter Quell that became a defining chapter in Haymitch's story. Francis Lawrence, who has helmed every instalment in the franchise since 2012's Catching Fire , is back in the director's seat, with Billy Ray penning the screenplay. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson serve as producers, while Cameron MacConomy will executive produce. The movie marks the franchise's latest outing after 2023's The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes , which earned S$348 million at the global box office. The original novel was published on 18 March and sold 1.2 million copies in the U.S. in its first week. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens in theatres on 20 November 2026.
