‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Trailer & Release Date Unveiled

It’s here! The “Stranger Things” Season 5 trailer has finally dropped!

Netflix surprised fans on Saturday, May 30, by revealing the release date during their annual Tudum live event. Several fans had been expecting the trailer to drop during the event, in hopes of learning more about the new season. Especially since the last time fans caught a glimpse of the show was back in 2022 for Season 4.

Yes, it’s been three years since we last saw Eleven and her friends on screen, making Season 5 one of the most eagerly awaited releases of 2025.

When Will ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Air?

Netflix confirmed the new season will be released in three parts: Volume 1 on November 26, 2025; Volume 2 on Christmas Day 2025; and the series finale on New Year’s Eve. Volume 1 is expected to include episodes 1 through 4, scratching the itch. Volume 2 will contain episodes 5 through 7, and the final volume will include one last episode. Each episode will be released at 5 p.m. Pacific time.

Luckily for fans, Netflix also released the official synopsis, which reads, “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.”

It continues: “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.”
