We still don’t have a firm premiere date, but Netflix has officially confirmed that the fifth — and final — season of Stranger Things will start streaming next year. Aside from that, the streamer also released the titles for all eight episodes in the new season, which might provide some hints as to what to expect:

Episode 1 - “The Crawl”Episode 2 - “The Vanishing of …” (note: this one is intentionally left incomplete, presumably for spoiler reasons)Episode 3 - “The Turnbow Trap”Episode 4 - “Sorcerer”Episode 5 - “Shock Jock”Episode 6 - “Escape from Camazotz”Episode 7 - “The Bridge”Episode 8 - “The Rightside Up”

That’s not a lot of info, but then again we haven’t heard much since season 4 wrapped up in 2022. Sarah Connor has joined the cast, and production kicked off at the beginning of this year, but aside from that Netflix has been very quiet about the finale of its biggest property. Of course, there are some spinoffs, including an upcoming animated show and a stage show that doubles as a prequel, as the company looks to extend the franchise’s life beyond the main story.

Netflix is in an interesting period, with some of its most iconic shows coming to an end. In addition to Stranger Things, it’s been confirmed that Squid Game will have its third and final season in 2025, and that The Witcher will wrap up with season 5.
