Can you believe it’s been almost a decade since Hawkins first sent chills down our spines? As fans count the days, the anticipation for one final chapter has never been stronger.
When Will Season 5 Episodes of Stranger Things Premiere on Netflix?
Stranger Things burst onto Netflix on 15 July 2016, instantly becoming a record-breaking phenomenon. Since the second part of season four landed on 1 July 2022, devoted viewers have been itching to binge-watch the concluding episodes. Production delays tied to Hollywood’s 2023 writers’ strike pushed the release window back, but Netflix has now confirmed that the first batch of season five will arrive on 27 November 2025 at 2 AM GMT in the UK (which corresponds to 17:00 PST on 26 November in Los Angeles). The second instalment follows on 26 December at the same hour, and the long-awaited finale drops on 1 January 2026 at 2 AM GMT—so set your alarms for a New Year’s Day marathon.
A New Triumph for Netflix?
Even without its concluding season, Stranger Things remains one of Netflix’s flagship streaming hits. Each outing has shattered viewing records, solidifying the Duffer Brothers’ creation as a cultural touchstone. With the finale poised to close the Hawkins saga, expectations are sky-high. Industry analysts at Nielsen report that Stranger Things consistently ranks among the platform’s top-watched originals, suggesting that this last drop could be Netflix’s most-watched event yet.
