Stranger Things season 5

Season five is still in pre-production, so there is a long road ahead before fans can have a Netflix night and binge the last few episodes. The creative duo ...

But aside from Finn [who plays Mike Wheeler], no one else knows!” Season five isn’t the only thing to look forward to for fans, as a spin-off is also in development. Yes, season five will in development, but the bad news is that it has been confirmed to be the final season of the series.

The fifth and final season of the Netflix original series Stranger Things has already begun production. Matt and Ross Duffer are the show's creators.

Seаsons 4 аnd 5 will serve аs the penultimаte аnd finаl seаsons, respectively. However, а lot of it is fаirly cleаrly lаid out. Matt and Ross Duffer are the show’s creators.

Stranger Things season 5 won't be released on Netflix in July 2022 along with Stranger Things season 4 vol. 2. But here's the latest on the final season.

After finishing Stranger Things season 4, The Duffer Brothers completed an outline for season 5 and have the final run fully mapped out ahead of production. The season definitely won’t be released one calendar year from now. Stranger Things season 4 has come to an explosive end with the release of volume 2 on Friday, July 1, 2022.

Season 4 Part 2 of Stranger Things in here. Will there be a Season 5? When will it be released?

It was an unusual process, and the Duffer brothers don’t expect it to happen again. In February this year, Netflix and the Duffer Brothers announced about Season 5 was in the making. However, the sad thing is that the show producers have announced that the show will conclude with Season 5. It was an unusual process, and the Duffer brothers don’t expect it to happen again. In February this year, Netflix and the Duffer Brothers announced about Season 5 was in the making. However, the sad thing is that the show producers have announced that the show will conclude with Season 5.

When does Stranger Things 5 come out? Creators Matt and Ross Duffer have now confirmed that season 5 will be the end of the Netflix series.

Netflix and the Duffers announced in Feb. 2022 that Stranger Things season 5 is in the works. While discussing how much he hates Will Byers’ signature bowl cut with Jimmy Fallon, Noah let slip that he’ll be back next season after revealing that the Duffer brothers told him to “get ready for season 5 because [the bowlcut] is not going away!” The good news is that the Duffer brothers already know what’s going to happen in the story, but with filming and editing, it’s possible that fans might not see Stranger Things 5 until late 2023 at the earliest. It all depends on how much story the Duffer brothers want to tell in the final season. The timeline jumped from November/December 1983 in season 1 to October 1984 in season 2, and then to July 1985 in season 3. Stranger Things season 5 has not yet started filming, but that isn’t any reason for concern. As a result, the release date – which was previously rumored to be January 2021 – was pushed back to May 2022. Well, that all depends on when the season begins filming. Stranger Things season 4 is not the last season. Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 debuted on May 27 and fans absolutely loved the seven episodes. And who will be returning to the cast? When does Stranger Things 5 come out?

Meanwhile, kids at the Hawkins devise a plan to kill Henry by returning to the Upside Down. Max volunteers to become bait while Steve, Nancy, and Robin try to ...

It’s exciting that Stranger Things will return with Season 5; however, the showrunners confirmed that it would be the final season of the popular Tv series. The new season will finally reveal who’s the main villain of this story, Vecna or Mind Flayer. Also, there are chances that we’ll see a time jump in Season 5. In the final two episodes, Eleven awakens her powers and decides to save her friends from this new enemy.

Stranger Things season 5 is officially on the way. The new episodes may not have started filming yet, but we still have some idea about what to expect in ...

It's highly unlikely that any of the main cast members are going to split before Stranger Things wraps itself up for good, so it's expected that they're all set to return for season 5. For now, the Stranger Things season 5 plot is firmly under wraps, but the Duffer Brothers have teased that they have the whole series' conclusion pretty firmly mapped out. Joseph Quinn, who was introduced as Eddie Munson in season 4, recently told The Guardian (opens in new tab) that he'd love to see the leader of the Dungeons & Dragons' loving Hellfire Club return in season 5. Considering how Stranger Things season 5 has yet to start filming, it's safe to assume we've got a little bit of a wait before the next chapter arrives. Stranger Things season 5 is officially on the way. In recent weeks, fans have been theorising as to what might happen in the fifth and final chapter. (Fore more, check out our guide to the Stranger Things season 4, Volume 2 ending.) Realistically, though, the new season will probably drop in 2024. Factor in lengthy VFX post-production work and it takes well over a year to complete a season from start to finish. Word of caution: friends don't lie, and they also don't knowingly ruin things, so if you've yet to watch Stranger Things 4, click away and come back at a later date. And while there's no exact Stranger Things season 5 release date just yet, we can use our knowledge of previous seasons to work out when new episodes could arrive. "We really want to stick the landing."

With 'Stranger Things 4' Volume 2 now streaming, it's time to look ahead at how the series will end with Season 5.

The Duffer Brothers called Season 4 their “ Game of Thrones season.” On the eve of the finale, fans emotionally prepared themselves to say goodbye to some of their favorites. Stranger Things is a fantasy series, after all, and in this magical world, anything could happen. "Normally it's like, 'Oh, we get to revisit the characters in their normal lives and how they're doing and what are their relationships like?' And 5 is just going to be pedal to the metal from the opening scene. "We do have an outline for Season 5 and we pitched it to Netflix and they really responded well to it," said Matt Duffer. "I mean, it was hard. Netflix has not revealed exactly when Stranger Things Season 5 will premiere, and considering the scope and ambition of Season 4, it seems like the show’s creators, The Duffer Brothers, need ample time for production. According to Ross Duffer, the original plan was to shoot Season 4 and 5 back-to-back, but that wasn’t feasible. As for the release schedule, Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s head of scripted series for the U.S. and Canada, told Variety that Season 5 will be released all at once. Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things Season 4. Hawkins, itself, is in disarray, with the small town now merging with the Upside Down, and Sadie Sink’s Max is left in a coma after Eleven may or may not have saved her from dying. At least that's what I remember from the outline," Ross Duffer explained. “The ending is the hard thing,” he added. Here is everything we know about Stranger Things’ final season so far.

Will there be a 5th season of “Stranger Things?” Here's what co-creators the Duffer Brothers have said about the last season of the Netflix show — with a ...

“We do have an outline for Season 5 and we pitched it to Netflix and they really responded well to it,” Ross Duffer said. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last.” But don’t expect to wait as long as the break in between Season 3 and 4. “There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of ‘Stranger Things,’” the creators continued. And the Duffer Brothers recognize that. Sadie Sink, for example, is a 20-year-old actress portraying Max Mayfield, who was 15 years old in Season 4.

Ahead of the final episodes being released, Will Byers actor Noah Schnapp tweeted an ominous picture of himself along with the words: "Happy Stranger Things ...

We don't yet have a confirmed cast list for Stranger Things season 5 but we'd expect all the surviving central characters to be back for more. Another thing we know is that season 5 is likely to feature a time jump, as Ross Duffer previously told TVLine: "I'm sure we will do a time jump. Seasons 1 to 3 all released their entire seasons in one go, while season 4 released in two volumes, with volume 1 containing seven episodes and volume 2 containing two. Season 3 took two years to arrive, while season 4 took 3 years, although this was in part due to delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. It has, so you don't need to worry that the series will be left on a cliffhanger. It proved too large to tell in four, but – as you’ll soon see for yourselves – we are now hurtling toward our finale.

Stranger Things season 5 will happen, but when can fans expect to tune into it on Netflix? Will there be any more new episodes this summer?

What did you think of Stranger Things season 4, part 2? Unfortunately, Stranger Things season 5 won’t be hitting Netflix this summer. Season 4 will no doubt be on the minds of fans for a long time to come, but that doesn’t mean they can’t set their sights on season 5 too.

"During the six-month pandemic hiatus, we outlined season 5 and pitched it to Netflix," they said. "I’m sure we will do a time jump," Ross Duffer told the outlet. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last." In fact, the Duffers told Variety last month that they already have a plot mapped out for season 5. "We really want to stick the landing. The Netflix paranormal hit's horrifying fourth season has come to a close, and the Duffer Brothers have confirmed that we just have one season left with the Hawkins gang.

Stranger Things Season 4 concluded with a two-part finale on Netflix. Here's what we know about the future of the show, including season 5.

We think everyone — including Netflix — will be surprised when they hear the concept, because it’s very, very different. In a recent interview, the Duffers said they didn’t yet have shoot dates for the final season. It’s unclear if the spin-off will even take place in Hawkins. In February, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer—the “Duffer Brothers”— published an open letter about the series’ future. “There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes. That story—with Eleven, Mike, Will, and Hopper—will end after Season 5.

Perhaps the biggest mystery that Stranger Things season 5 will have to confront is the whereabouts of Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink). To be clear, we know where Max’s body is. In the process though Max’s consciousness appears to have run off. When the apocalyptic black clouds roll in in season 5, however, they may have no choice but to believe. Based on the final shot of the season it seems as though a significant chunk of The Upside Down has leaked out into our world. From that moment on, Vecna sought Eleven as a sort of key to the “real world,” which he in turn could turn into The Upside Down. Upon arrival in the Upside Down, Vecna surveyed the landscape and saw that it was to his liking. As previously stated, Vecna’s ultimate goal is to unleash the hellish chaos of The Upside Down upon our unsuspecting world. Another aspect of season 4’s delay that can’t be ignored is that the Duffer Brothers clearly wanted to take their time to properly plot out the end of the series. Will, thanks to his earlier connection with the Mind Flayer (who was operating as part of Vecna), can still feel Vecna’s presence. The good news is that we will absolutely see a fifth season of Stranger Things. The bad news is that it will be the show’s last. While Dustin was right in assuming that the humanoid Vecna was more powerful than any Demo-creatures, it seems as though he still underrated the dark wizard. The show’s creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, wrote a letter to fans to accompany the announcement.

The Season 4 finale made all 'Stranger Things' fans' worst nightmares come true — here's how it sets up Season 5 to be the most horrifying yet.

To top it all, the fate of countless Hawkins residents is in the balance. They might not believe in their abilities, but this ragtag group of kids is the most equipped to fight what’s coming their way. The last moments of Stranger Things Season 4, Episode 9 reveal a supernatural tempest that appears to be killing the lush Indiana countryside. But the blissful ignorance had to come to an end, thanks to the final moments of Stranger Things Season 4. Vecna’s fury has forced its way out of the Upside Down and presents itself in the real world in the form of a massive earthquake that leaves dozens dead and hundreds injured. But Stranger Things is set in the 1980s, when your kids disappearing with no contact until dinnertime was the norm.

[Warning: The following contains spoilers for the final episodes of Stranger Things Season 4. Read at your own risk!] The battle for Hawkins — and the rest ...

Since Eleven closed the gate between Hawkins and Russia at the end of Season 3, it would be a long journey back to the states for the swirling particles to rejoin Vecna and the rest of their brood. If they are able to do that, it could give the Hawkins crew the advantage they need to take down Vecna once and for all. The signs that Will has more-than-platonic feelings for Mike have been brewing since late Season 2, but came extremely close to exploding in the final episodes of Season 4. It started with Will being borderline repulsed by attention from girls at his school and escalated to Will giving Mike a barely veiled speech about how Mike makes Eleven feel like she's not an outsider and Eleven will always need Mike. Will's silent tears after the soliloquy and his heart-to-heart with Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) later all but confirmed that Will has been coming to terms with his sexuality, and the likely romantic feelings he has for his best friend. And there are several more burning questions that need to be answered, like what happened to Dr. Owens ( Paul Reiser) after Eleven left Project Nina? Will Vecna return in a new form after being lit on fire and shot multiple times at close range? Considering that Dustin was with Eddie when he died and wasn't able to save him, and Eddie's body was never returned to the Right-Side-Up, it seems totally within reason that Eddie, or a Vecna-reanimation of Eddie, could be used to torment Dustin and other members of the Hellfire Club because they weren't able to save their Dungeon Master. Which brings us to... Dustin wasn't able to get to Eddie in time to save him from the bats... Max's heart stopped in the process, and Eleven found a way to revive her, but the Kate Bush enthusiast remains in a coma with her mind empty — or at least her consciousness buried somewhere Eleven cant find it. We break down why, and we detail a few other fan theories about the upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger Things below. He took enough of Max to open the fourth gate and bring the Upside Down to Hawkins, even if he was severely injured in the process. The battle for Hawkins — and the rest of the world — has entered its final stage. Even though Eleven ( Millie Bobby Brown) found a way to piggyback into Max's thoughts from a pizza dough oven in Nevada to take on Vecna herself, she wasn't able to stave off the monster in time.

Plus, we learned more about Eleven and the Upside Down, and we got the very best villain in the show's history with the dark sorcerer Vecna (played by Jamie ...

(And the evidence is pretty good!) It’s enough to wonder if it really was Vecna who kidnapped Will and whether or not his story about being the architect of the entire “Stranger Things” mystery is actually true. Could there be a scenario in Season 5 where the citizens of Hawkins are forced to team up with the Soviets, sharing their knowledge of the situation, in a way of saving the world from the horrors of the Upside Down? Finally, Vecna came across a swarm of particles (what the Russians referred to as “the Shadow,” but what Dustin and the kids have called the Mind Flayer). The Shadow went into Vecna and gave him the power to lead the creatures in the universe. In other words, when it comes to “Stranger Things 5,” the sooner, the better. Talk about a bombshell that hasn’t been explored in any meaningful way since: When the gang travels to the Upside Down through the water gate, Nancy discovers that the universe is frozen in time, specifically the moment that Will (Noah Schnapp) was abducted and brought there in Season 1. The hierarchy of the Upside Down and the creatures therein still remain pretty muddy, but considering Vecna is still alive and probably seething, we’ll probably find out a lot more about this villain in the fifth and final season. Steve (Joe Keery) and Nancy (Natalia Dyer) had seemingly been rekindling their romance throughout Season 4, but at the end of the season, her actual boyfriend Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) showed up after his adventure. In the Season 4 finale, Vecna tells Eleven the story of how he became a creepy wizard from an alternate dimension with a giant claw arm and some very bad skin. Steve was alive (thank god) but rejected (boo). Honestly, Jonathan is kind of a wet blanket, and him being a stoner this season made him even more unappealing. Her arms and legs are in a cast; she might be permanently blind; and, perhaps most damning, when Eleven looks for her in the blackish void, Max is not there. Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) stays by her side, reading her Stephen King and Peter Straub’s “The Talisman.” Considering Season 4 was released nearly three years after “Stranger Things 3,” we could be in for a long wait.

Season 4 debuted in May, making its presence felt on Netflix with seven lengthy installments. However, that wasn't be the only adventure in Hawkins viewers had ...

Stranger Things season 5 is happening. There will be a wait for season 5, though, particularly as it hasn’t started production yet. The wait for the fourth season of Stranger Things has been a long one.

We know Stranger Things season 5 is coming, but don't expect the fifth season of Netflix's top drama to make its way to Netflix in 2022.

We just don’t see that happening given how massive the series has become and the work that goes into creating new episodes. The good news is the Duffers are planning at least one spinoff already which will allow the show to live on in some manner beyond season 5. It’s also not like Netflix to drop two seasons of a major scripted series in the same calendar year.

In total there were six named characters who died across — seven if you include Max, who technically did die but was seemingly brought back somehow by Eleven.

The season 4 finale also featured two fake-out deaths connected to Max and Vecna, who both seemed to die before it was later revealed they had survived their final battle –with Max falling into a coma after Eleven managed to save her and Vecna in hiding after being nearly defeated. That said there were three named characters who died in the season as well as two fake-out deaths, which does bring our total to five. So here there five named deaths after all or did the report of 5 named deaths prove to be nothing more than a rumor?

Stranger Things season 4 was a trying experience for Max Mayfield. What was her fate coming out of it and will she be in season 5?

Max may not be dead anymore but that doesn’t mean her fate isn’t up in the air. Fans of Stranger Things have been traumatised by the fourth season of the Netflix series. Eleven managed to save her from Vecna’s curse but the creature had already done some irreversible damage to her, rendering her unable to feel or see anything.

Here is everything we know about Stranger Things Season 5, the fifth and final season of the Netflix series, including who is returning, release date, ...

With a likely multi-year wait between seasons of Stranger Things, there are a lot of epic sci-fi shows to check out in the meantime. Production has not started yet, so at the very earliest we do not expect Stranger Things Season 5 until late 2023, but more likely a 2024 release. The world of Stranger Things officially turned Upside Down at the end of Stranger Things Season 4.

Fans of Steve (Joe Keery), Robin (Maya Hawke) and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) can now breathe a sigh of relief for the fifth and final season. The same ...

Steve and Robyn succeed at burning Vecna’s physical body while Nancy fires at him with a shotgun, defeating him at last (or at least for this episode). Hopefully the residents of Hawkins will have peace in the end — but not before more destruction. Lucas brawls with Jason, fighting for his and everyone else’s life before managing to knock Jason unconscious. After Max’s heart stops beating for a minute, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) uses her powers to bring Max back to life. The final two episodes of Season 4 of Netflix’s "Stranger Things" (streaming now) sent fans into a frenzy of uncertainty over whether their favorite character will live to see another season. Dustin tells Eddie’s uncle that his son died a hero and stayed true to himself.

In an unprecedented decision for the streaming platform, Netflix decided to split Stranger Things season 4 in two, with the first seven episodes being released ...

It remains to be seen how Stranger Things season 5 will wrap up Eleven and her friend's story and if it will set up any other TV shows. In the same open letter that announced Stranger Things season 5 will be the last, the Duffer brothers also hint at possible Stranger Things spinoffs, as they stated that "there are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things." The creators later confirmed that they are indeed developing a Stranger Things spinoff concurrently with season 5. There may not have been as many Stranger Things season 4 deaths as some were expecting, but the season did increase the stakes for the already confirmed Stranger Things season 5. The Duffer brothers pointed out that the plan had always been for Stranger Things to last to "four or five seasons," and the former option was not possible because season 4 would get too packed. As expected, Stranger Things season 4, volume 2 explored more about the previous reveal that Vecna was Number One, and it showed how the villain was able to make the Upside Down his own. In an unprecedented decision for the streaming platform, Netflix decided to split Stranger Things season 4 in two, with the first seven episodes being released at the end of May, followed by the two-part, feature-length finale that now arrives on the streaming platform.
