‘Stranger Things’ season 5 is coming. Here’s everything the Duffer brothers have said about the final season of the Netflix hit.

• “Stranger Things” season five will be the hit Netflix series’ last.
• The Duffer brothers have teased information about the final season since season four was released in 2022.
• Netflix has confirmed that season five will premiere in 2025. 

Since premiering in 2016, “Stranger Things” has gone on to become one of Netflix’s most popular series of all time. 

The supernatural drama, set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s, is now headed into its fifth and final season. Its stellar young cast, long one of the show’s biggest strengths, are now adults. Leading actor Millie Bobby Brown’s breakout role as Eleven has led to her becoming a star in her own right, producing films like “Enola Holmes” and pursuing other projects outside the “Stranger Things” umbrella. 

Netflix announced in February 2022 that the show’s fifth season would be its last, bringing a conclusion to the story of Eleven, Hawkins, and the Upside Down. And while there are plenty of “Stranger Things” spinoff projects in the pipeline (and other shows to catch up on in the meantime), it’s hard not to be excited about an ending that David Harbour said left members of the cast “uncontrollably crying” during a table read. 

Here’s everything we know about season five of the series, including what the Duffers have said about the show’s conclusion.
