Are you hearing that? That sound is the start of new Stranger Things episodes. It won’t be long now until your favorite nerds face Vecna in what looks like it will be one last epic ride through Hawkins, Indiana. The release dates for the fifth and final season have been announced.
Stranger Things 5 will release this fall: four episodes on Nov. 26, three episodes on Christmas, and the finale episode on New Year’s Eve. At 5 p.m. PST, each book will release. For information on the worldwide premiere of the final season, please continue reading for the release dates. The new video introduction below gives a look at what’s coming up.
You can also look forward to more, such as information about the strange Upside Down. In Season 1, Matt and Ross Duffer, who created the show, wrote a 25-page paper for Netflix that goes into more detail about the mythology of the mysterious other realm. While we have already revealed some of the backstory, the final season should unveil even more. Ross Duffer has said before, “We’ve put off a couple of the last questions that are answered in that document so that Season 5 can have some big reveals.” “That will significantly alter the focus of Season 5.”
Take a look at Stranger Things 5’s full plot summary below:It was the fall of 1987. Following the opening of the Rifts, Hawkins sustained injuries, leading all our heroes to share a common objective: to locate and eliminate Vecna. His whereabouts and goals are unknown, though, as he has disappeared. To make things harder for them, the government has put the town under military lockdown and is looking for Eleven even more, so she has to go back into hiding. The anniversary of Will’s absence is coming up, and with it comes a heavy, familiar fear. The final fight is coming, and it will bring a darkness stronger and deadlier than before. They’ll need the whole party to stand together one last time to end this nightmare.
