Will There Be a Season 5 of ‘Stranger Things’ on Netflix?

Stranger Things isn’t just back; it’s back… with a vengeance!

The new season of the beloved sci-fi dramedy had the largest premiere weekend ever for an English language series on Netflix, accumulating 286.79 million hours viewed during its first weekend on the streamer. The fourth season of the series toppled previous record holder, the second season of Bridgerton, by a wide margin, with Season 2 of Netflix’s period drama earning 193 million hours over its inaugural weekend.

Stranger Things fever isn’t exclusive to the new season. The top five English language shows from May 23 to May 29 on Netflix were Stranger Things Season 4, The Lincoln Lawyer (64,000,000+), Season 1 of Stranger Things (38,000,000), Stranger Things Season 3 (24,000,000+), and Season 2 of Stranger Things (22,000,000+).

After the release of the fourth season, many fans have been wondering about Stranger Things Season 5. Will there be a fifth season of Stranger Things on Netflix? Here’s everything you need to know.

WILL THERE BE A SEASON 5 OF STRANGER THINGS ON NETFLIX?

Yes! Back in February of 2022, it was announced that the series would return for a fifth and final season.

WHEN WILL STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 BE ON NETFLIX?

Short answer: It’s going to be a while.

Season 4 of Stranger Things is divided into two parts, with the first seven episodes of the fourth season currently streaming on Netflix. The final two episodes of Season 4 —  Episode 8 is 85 minutes and Episode 9 (the season finale) is a whopping two and a half hours — will debut July 1, 2022 at 3:00 a.m. ET on the streamer.

No official release date has been announced for the fifth season of Stranger Things. If we’re predicting a premiere date based on the show’s history — the second season debuted in October of 2017, with Season 3 dropping in July of 2019 — the fifth season could (key word could) premiere in July or October of 2023. Unfortunately, there are too many factors to reasonably predict a release date.

WILL THERE BE A SEASON 6 OF STRANGER THINGS ON NETFLIX?

Nope. The series is set to conclude after the fifth season. However, EPs The Duffer Brothers have teased there may be spinoffs set in the world of the show, though they’ll be concluding the story of Eleven with Season 5.
