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. Linda Hamilton also announced at 2023's Tudum: A Global Fan Event that she would be joining the final season as well, but details of her role are being kept under wraps. They join core cast members Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazo, Caleb McLaughlin, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery and Charlie Heaton. RELATED: Later additions Sadie Sink, Brett Gelman, Maya Hawke, Jamie Campbell Bower and Amybeth McNulty as well as several others will close out the final installment as well, with Bower embodying the big bad Vecna, who was introduced in Season 4. '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 ? No, Season 5 is the last one, but the universe will live on through the stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which delves deeper into the lives of teenage Joyce, Hopper, Karen Wheeler and Lonnie Byers when Henry Creel (aka Vecna) first came to town. Deadline exclusively reported that this first play will be one of three. RELATED: 'Stranger Things: The First Shadow' Coming To Broadway In March; See Trailer Released Today There will also be an animated spinoff series, which remains untitled for now. What else are the Duffer Brothers working on? The pair behind Stranger Things are collaborating with Netflix on another show called The Boroughs, created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance), which will star Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman, Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Clarke Peters and Denis O'Hare. Addiss and Matthews will serve as showrunners. Another series in the works at Netflix from the Duffers is Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, which may star Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco.

Stranger Things 5 finally has its release date
Stranger Things 5 finally has its release date To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. The long, long wait for Stranger Things 5 is almost over. Netflix has finally revealed the release date for the show's fifth and final season: November 26. At least, that's when the first part will drop. Just like Season Four, Stranger Things 5 will be released in chunks, so you won't be able to binge it all in one go from the outset. Volume One, which will have four episodes, comes out on November 26 at 8PM ET (5PM PT), followed a month later by three episodes for Volume Two on Christmas (December 25) and the final episode on New Year's Eve (December 31). If you need a little refresher on where we're picking back up with the Hawkins crew — I sure do — here's the synopsis for Season Five: 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. With that, the countdown to the end has officially begun. There's 177 days to go as of today, which leaves you plenty of time to rewatch all four seasons in preparation.

'White Lotus' creator Mike White to compete in 50th season of 'Survivor'
The 54-year-old Emmy winner placed second on the show's 37th season in 2018. Photo: TNS CBS has spoken. Mike White, the writer of the hit HBO series White Lotus , is returning to the island for Survivor Season 50. The 54-year-old Emmy winner placed second on the show's 37th season in 2018. He is one of 24 returning players who will compete in the milestone season, which will be filmed in Fiji. 'Mike, after he finished playing, said, 'I want to play again,'' host and executive producer Jeff Probst told CBS Mornings on Wednesday. 'Then White Lotus hit, and I thought, 'Well, he'll never play again.' But he kept texting and saying, 'Look, I'm serious. If you ever do anything where you have returning players, I want to play again.' So we're happy to have Mike. Other returning fan favourites include Cirie Fields, Ozzy Lusth, Colby Donaldson, Jenna Lewis-Dougherty, Aubry Bracco and Benjamin 'Coach' Wade. White, whose other credits include School Of Rock and Enlightened , told the New Yorker in a 2021 interview how the show has inspired him. 'I still feel like, even on the most contrived reality show, the people are human and they're more interesting than some of the most well-scripted drama,' he said. 'And for me, as a writer of drama, I aspire to do what reality television already does. To create characters that are surprising and dimensional and do weird s– and capture your attention.' White also competed with his father Mel on two seasons of The Amazing Race . The White Lotus has already been given a Season Four renewal. Survivor 50: In the Hands Of The Fans will head into production this summer and air in February 2026. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

Get Ready to Believe Again: ‘Ted Lasso' Is Returning for Season Four
Just two years after its supposed third and final season, Apple TV+ has confirmed that Ted Lasso will return. Jason Sudeikis is set to reprise his role as the titular coach in the fourth season, and it looks like much of the show's creative team will be returning, too. That includes writer/actor Brett Goldstein, who played AFC Richmond vet Roy Kent, and producer/actor Brendan Hunt, who played Lasso's assistant coach and friend, Willis Beard. More from Rolling Stone Prince William Makes Rare TV Appearance in New PBS Doc: Here's How to Watch 'The Earthshot Report' Online for Free See 'Weird Al' Yankovic and Will Forte Cover Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go!' at Thundergong! Benefit Juno Temple Is 'F-cking Really Not Good at Reality.' But She's One of the Best at Make-Believe No other details about Season Four were revealed, like if there would be any new additions to the cast, or who else from the original run would be returning. It's also unclear when production on Season Four will begin, and when it will air. As far as plot goes, it's unclear where the show plans to pick up after what appeared to be a decisive Season Three finale. At the end (spoiler alert), Ted decided it was time to leave England, Roy took over as AFC Richmond head coach, and team owner Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) sold almost half of her stake in the club. In a statement Sudeikis offered only a very broad tease for what's in store, saying, 'As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap,' in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be.' Ted Lasso — which began as a promotional campaign for NBC Sports' coverage of the Premier League — enjoyed an extremely successful three season run following its premiere in 2020. The show won 11 Emmy awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series two years in a row. Sudeikis and Goldstein both won Outstanding Actor and Supporting Actor twice, respectively, while Waddingham picked up an Outstanding Supporting Actress trophy as well.

Nikki Glaser to return as host of Golden Globes in 2026
After a well-reviewed emcee debut, the Golden Globes are bringing back comedian Nikki Glaser to host the 2026 ceremony. Dick Clark Productions, the producer of the award show, announced Thursday that Glaser will return for the 83rd Globes next January. Glaser, the first woman to host the show solo, successfully shepherded a ceremony she called 'Ozempic's biggest night.' 'Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,' said Glaser in a statement. 'I can't wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from 'The White Lotus' who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season Four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.' The Globes, in which the top awards went to the films 'The Brutalist' and 'Emilia Pérez' and the TV series 'Shōgun' and 'Hacks,' drew 9.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen, a 2% dip from the year prior. Like this year's broadcast, next year's Globes will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+. 'Nikki Glaser brought a refreshing spark and fearless wit to the Golden Globes stage this year," said Globes President Helen Hoehne. 'Her sharp humor, and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and most of all fun.'
