"Stranger Things" Season 5 Preview - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fall TV Preview 2025: Stranger Things
Volume 1 of Season 5 drops Wednesday, Nov. 26
Volume 2 on Thursday, Dec. 25
Volume 3 on Wednesday, Dec. 31 (Netflix)

As R.E.M. would have put it in 1987, the year in which the Netflix smash’s fifth and final season is set, it’s the end of the world as we know it.

The seemingly omnipotent Vecna, aka One, aka Henry Creel, has opened the fourth gate and begun the process of turning loose the Upside Down on Hawkins, Ind., and beyond.

But, to paraphrase the oldie’s lyrics, we still feel fine. Why on hell on Earth is that, you ask?

Even before the Season 4 finale, co-creators the Duffer Brothers promised TVLine that the ending of the beloved sci-fi/horror/comedy/drama “is pretty well mapped out” — and aside from writing off adorkable Argyle, they haven’t let us down yet.

On top of that, producer Shawn Levy has acknowledged the need to go big, period; going home is not an option. “There’s no way to be contiguous with Season 4 and not, frankly, expand scale and depth,” he said in an interview with Total Film.

At the same time, the series will be “coming full circle,” Matt Duffer hinted to the Happy Sad Confused podcast, adding that the plan was to “go back to a lot of the things we did in Season 1… original groupings and pairings.”

Careening into the future while paying homage to the past? Count us in.

BONUS SPOILER!:

Sadie Sink’s Max may be down, but she also isn’t altogether out. She’s “not really alive in the sense that you and I think of alive,” Ross Duffer told Deadline.

In other words, she’s not really dead in the sense that we think of dead, either.
