'Stranger Things' Season 5 Release Date Reveals When the Final Battle for Hawkins Begins

The Upside Down is closing its gates — for good. Today at Tudum, Netflix announced that Stranger Things Season 5 will officially premiere on November 26. That's when "Volume 1 of the show will officially debut, with Volume 2 set to debut on Christmas and the grand series finale on New Year's Day, bringing an end to one of the most iconic series in the streaming era. It’s the conclusion of a pop culture phenomenon that began in 2016 and helped reshape what episodic storytelling could look like in the digital age. After nearly a decade of Demogorgons, secret labs, synth-heavy scores, and some truly appalling hair, the residents of Hawkins are taking their final bow — and for the young cast, it’s the end of an era they literally grew up in.
