Netflix has officially announced that the fifth — and final — season of Stranger Things will premiere next year, though a specific date has yet to be set. The streaming platform also revealed the titles for all eight episodes of the new season, which may offer some intriguing clues about what’s to come:

- Episode 1: “The Crawl”
- Episode 2: “The Vanishing of …” (incomplete title, likely to avoid spoilers)
- 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”
Beyond these hints, Netflix has remained tight-lipped since season 4 concluded in 2022. We know that Stranger Things production began early this year, with the exciting addition of Terminator star Linda Hamilton to the cast, but updates have been sparse. Alongside the main series finale, Netflix is developing spinoffs, including an animated series and a stage show that serves as a prequel, to keep the Stranger Things universe alive.

Netflix is in a transition phase as some of its landmark series reach their end. Along with Stranger Things, Squid Game is set to conclude with a third season in 2025, and The Witcher will wrap up after its fifth season.
