Stranger Things Season 5: the production has officially started and the drama will finally be returning with its final season!
Stranger Things is a popular American science fiction horror drama television series created by the Duffer Brothers. The series is focused on a myriad of mysteries and paranormal incidents in and around Hawkins and how they affect a group of young and adult individuals.
On July 15, 2016, the first season was released on Netflix. October 2017, July 2019, May, and July 2022 saw the release of its second, third, and fourth seasons, respectively. Also, the show has received praise from critics for its narrative, directing, acting, soundtrack, characters, and mood. However, it has now been made official that Stranger Things 5 will indeed happen. Also, it will be the series’ final season, sending fans into a frenzy. Yes, you read that right. After seven years, Stranger Things is readying to say goodbye.
The science fiction series became an unexpected cultural phenomenon after it debuted on Netflix in July 2016. The show has since broken many Netflix records. With over 7 billion minutes of viewing time in a single week, season 4 of the now-popular series broke the record for the most-watched show ever at the time. Additionally, it was the year’s most streamed series overall.
And now, the wait for the upcoming episode has proven to be just as long as it has been in the past between seasons. So, when will Stranger Things Season 5 be on Netflix? What does the upcoming season have in store? Who is the cast? Well, to find out, keep reading.
Stranger Things Season 5 Release Date
Neither the Stranger Things writers nor Netflix have announced a premiere date. At this rate, we may not see Stranger Things season 5 until 2025. Filming was originally scheduled to start in June 2023, but the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes forced a postponement to January 2024.
However, there is good news: the production has officially started. So, while there is still a long way to go, the start of production has brought some light into the dark world of Stranger Things fans. Since this is the final season, they will undoubtedly want to go all out, which could make season 5 even longer.
Stranger Things Season 5 Plot
Stranger Things season 5 will pick up where season 4 left off—at the very end, with Hawkins facing defeat. While the plot is currently unclear, the makers have indicated that they have the entire series ending pretty well figured out and have provided some hints as to what to expect. At the end of Season 4, each group—in Nevada, Indiana, and Russia, respectively—worked together somewhat unintentionally to defeat Vecna.

In Upside Down, Robin, Steve, and Nancy set fire to his helpless physical form while Max baits his mind at the Creel House. Mike and Will simultaneously get submerged in a makeshift sensory deprivation tank, and therefore, her consciousness travels to Max to help her fight the bad guy. However, as Will explains near the end, Vecna is still alive.
Therefore, we can expect many more actions from the kids and adults to take Vecna down, or it can be the other way around. Whatever the outcome, it is inevitable that fans will enjoy the final season while also being upset to see it end.
Stranger Things Season 5 Cast
Fortunately, most of the main cast survived Season 4 and appeared in the season’s finale scene. Therefore, it’s reasonable to presume that the majority of the main cast, if not all of them, will return for Season 5. Also, It’s pretty unlikely that any of the key cast members will break up before Stranger Things concludes.
Here’s a look at the star cast:
- Noah Schnapp
- Millie Bobby Brown
