Ever wonder if the cosmic stars have a hand in stirring up the chaos in Hawkins, Indiana? As Mercury aligns just right (or mischievously wrong), the long-awaited season 5 of Stranger Things—yes, the grand finale—is finally creeping out of the Upside Down after a holdup courtesy of those ever-eloquent writers and actors on strike. Filmed over a grueling twelve-month schedule, this season splits into a festive trilogy: Volume One hit the screen on November 26, 2025, Volume Two lands on Christmas Day, and the whole nail-biting saga wraps up on New Year’s Eve—all dropping sharply at 8pm Eastern for maximum suspense and snack consumption.
For those of us who’ve been glued to this supernatural letter to the ‘80s, season 5 promises a showdown with Vecna, quarantine madness (thanks, government), Eleven in stealth mode, and a darkness way nastier than that one weird family at your holiday dinner. The star-studded squad returns—Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, the whole gang—plus some fresh faces like Linda Hamilton adding that extra firepower.
So, whether you’re a die-hard Hawkins historian or just here for the cosmic thrill, the new trailer’s dropped and it’s doing everything but whispering “Will you survive the final rift?” As the stars twinkle on this dark December night, are you ready to dive back into the eerie, the epic, and the utterly unknown? Go ahead, hit play above and let the countdown to the ultimate battle against Vecna begin.
After being delayed several months by the writers’ strike and the actors’ strike, season 5 of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things (which is also the last season of the show) finally went into production at the start of 2024 with a twelve-month shooting schedule, wrapping at the end of December. Stranger Things season 5 is now being released in three parts, with volume one dropping on November 26, 2025, volume two coming along on Christmas Day, 2025, and the series finale on New Year’s Eve, with each volume being released at 8pm Eastern time. You can read what JoBlo’s own Alex Maidy had to say about volume one at THIS LINK – and today, with the premiere of volume two just ten days away, a trailer for the next batch of episodes has dropped online! You can watch it in the embed above.
Stranger Things has the following synopsis: A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever. Here’s what we can expect from season 5: The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
The cast includes Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), Priah Ferguson (Erica Sinclair), Brett Gelman (Murray), Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna), Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler), Amybeth McNulty (Vickie), Nell Fisher (Holly Wheeler), Jake Connelly (Derek Turnbow), Alex Breaux (Lt. Akers), and Linda Hamilton (Dr. Kay). New to the cast for Stranger Things season 5 are Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise), newcomer Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux (Joe Pickett).
Stranger Things is produced by Monkey Massacre Productions and 21 Laps Entertainment. Series creators The Duffer Brothers serve as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps Entertainment, Iain Paterson, and Curtis Gwinn. The Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont ended an 11-year break from directing to take the helm of two episodes of this final season.
The first episode Darabont directed was the third episode of the season, an episode that was originally meant to be directed by Dan Trachtenberg, but he got sidetracked by Predator: Badlands. Darabont returns to the helm for the fifth episode.
