Netflix has unveiled the first teaser for Stranger Things 5, placing viewers back in Hawkins during the fall of 1987. The town remains fractured by multiple Rifts, and the core group is focused on one mission: locate and eliminate Vecna. Complicating matters, a military quarantine tightens around Hawkins while federal agents renew their pursuit of Eleven, forcing her underground once again.

The teaser confirms a staggered release: Volume 1 premieres November 26, 2025; Volume 2 follows December 25, 2025; and the series finale arrives December 31, 2025—all at 5 p.m. PT.

Created by the Duffer Brothers and produced by Upside Down Pictures with 21 Laps Entertainment, the final season reunites cast members Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, and more, alongside franchise newcomer Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay. With the anniversary of Will Byers’ disappearance nearing, the teaser hints at a concluding showdown that will demand every ally—“the full party”—to stand together one last time.
