Here’s what to expect from Season 5
Stranger Things Season 5 picks up in 1987, with Hawkins under military lockdown after the chaos caused by the Rifts. The threat of Vecna still looms, forcing Eleven, Hopper, Joyce, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and Max to reunite for one last fight.
The familiar cast, Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, and Sadie Sink, will return for the final season. New characters are expected, though details remain under wraps.
Netflix is expected to release the official Season 5 trailer between October 27 and October 29, 2025, following a global rewatch of Season 4. Fans can also look forward to new posters and promotional materials leading up to the premiere.
