‘Stranger Things’ season 5 teaser release date out as 'last adventure begins', new poster makes stunning debut

Stranger Things fans heaved a sigh of relief after the announcement that the first teaser for the final season of the long-running Netflix series would premiere tomorrow. “One last adventure begins. Teaser tomorrow,” the Stranger Things official X account wrote on July 15.

The new poster for Stranger Things 5 was also shared with the post and it featured a slick callback to seasons past. In the image, Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) pedal their bikes through the eerie landscape of Hawkins, Indiana. Above them, ominous red clouds swirl as Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), the chilling villain from Stranger Things Season 4, looms threateningly overhead.



The wait is finally over for Stranger Things fans as they have been waiting for years to watch the epic conclusion of the popular Netflix show. Season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, and left viewers on quite the cliffhanger.

Max (Sadie Sink) had been attacked by Vecna and left in a coma with some pretty gnarly injuries. While Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) thought they shot and killed the big bad, after exiting the Creel house, his body was nowhere to be found. In the ending shot of the season, the group looked out over Hawkins as the Upside Down began to creep into more of the real world, hinting that things were about to get a lot worse.

Stranger Things Season 5 release date

Stranger Things 5 will release this fall: four episodes on Nov. 26, three episodes on Christmas, and the finale episode on New Year’s Eve. Each volume releases at 5:00 p.m. PST. Stranger Things wrapped production on its fifth and final season, as confirmed in December 2024.

Showrunners and creators Matt and Ross Duffer (known as The Duffer Brothers) wrote in a Netflix blog (via The Hollywood Reporter), "Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but—as you’ll soon see for yourselves—we are now hurtling toward our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; Season 5 will be the last."

Stranger Things Season 5 will release its eight episodes in three separate batches. The first will air on Wednesday, Nov. 26, the day before Thanksgiving. The second part comes Christmas Day, Thursday, Dec. 25. And the third and final batch arrives New Years' Ever, Wednesday, Dec. 31.
