'Stranger Things' season 5 to be released in 3 parts, with finale debuting on New Year's Eve
'Stranger Things' season 5 officially has a release date -- three of them, to be exact. The fifth and final season of the Netflix hit will air in three parts, with the first four episodes debuting Nov. 26; the next three episodes dropping on Christmas Day; and the final episode streaming on New Year's Eve. Each volume will be released at 5 p.m. PT. The news was revealed during Netflix's fan event Tudum 2025, along with a new teaser for Season 5. The teaser mixes footage from previous seasons with some quick glimpses of the new episodes, ending with a shot of Noah Schnapp's Will Byers screaming "Run!" as he faces an unknown horror. A synopsis for Season 5 says the episodes pick up in the fall of 1987, with Hawkins dealing with the aftermath of the opening of the Rifts and our group of heroes uniting to find and kill Vecna. 'The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before,' the synopsis reads. 'To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.' 'Stranger Things' stars Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Schnapp and Sadie Sink.

Netflix reveals release date for final season of Stranger Things
Netflix has finally revealed the release date for the long-awaited final season of its hit Stranger Things. The eight-episode fifth season has been split into three parts, with the first four episodes released on November 27, three episodes released on Boxing Day and the final episode released on January 1. Created by the Duffer Brothers, the series has been a monster hit for the streamer ever since it debuted in 2016. Set in the 1980s in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, it initially followed the disappearance of 12-year-old Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) into the alternate dimension of the Upside Down and the appearance of young girl named Eleven (Millie Bobbie Brown), who has psychokinetic powers. The main cast is set to return, including Winona Ryder, who plays Will's mother Joyce Byers and David Harbour, who plays police chief Jim Hopper. Terminator's Linda Hamilton is only big-name-addition to the fifth series, playing an undisclosed role. The show's blend of 1980s nostalgia, supernatural horror and teenage drama made it a breakout hit for Netflix, picking up 57 Emmy award nominations. The show's fourth season was named the most streamed show of 2022, with more than 52 billion viewing minutes over the year, according to ratings agency Nielson. It has also spawned a play, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which opened to mixed reviews on the West End in 2024 and Broadway in April this year. Netflix made the announcement at its Tudum fan event, where it also announced the release dates and revealed new trailers and teasers for the third and final season of Korean hit Squid Game (released June 26), the film Happy Gilmore 2 (July 26), the third Knives Out movie, Wake Up Dead Man, starring Daniel Craig as private detective Benoit Blanc, will be released on December 13, and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's new crime thriller The Rip (January 17). A teaser trailer for Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Frankenstein, starring Australia's Jacob Elordi as the monster, was also revealed, but there was no firm release date, other than saying it would be in November.

'It's going to be sad': Noah Schnapp aka Will Byers warns Stranger Things fans to brace for a 'devastating' final season
Noah Schnapp, who's portrayed Will Byers since day one, has dropped some thrilling hints about what's in store for the last and final season of Stranger Things. Although a release date for Stranger Things Season 5 has not been announced yet, rumour has it that it is set to premiere on October 10, 2025, with the epic conclusion arriving in the form of two final episodes on November 27, 2025. While attending the opening night of Stranger Things: The First Shadow on Broadway in New York City, Noah Schnapp shared some insight into the much-awaited final season of the show during a chat with The Hollywood Reporter. Reflecting on what's to come, he hinted that 'people are going to be truly devastated' as the story reaches its end. He went on to say, 'As sad as it was, I'm so excited to see the world's reaction to watching the finale because there's not going to be a dry eye, it's going to be sad.' Lightening the mood a little, Schnapp added with a smile, 'Not to be so negative, it is a really great season and people will love it.' Ross Duffer, one half of the Duffer Brothers duo behind Stranger Things, also opened up about what fans can expect. Speaking about the upcoming season, he said, 'It is thrilling and it's our fastest start we've ever had — our heroes are in action right away…' But he also emphasised the emotional depth of what's ahead: '...but I think ultimately, hopefully, it's our most emotional season yet. Those final episodes, the goal is that they hit pretty hard because in a lot of ways it's about the end of this journey we've all had and also the end of childhood.'
