Stranger Things has been one of those rare shows that pulled viewers in from the very first episode. When it debuted on Netflix in 2016, no one imagined it would turn into such a global favourite. What began as a small-town mystery with a missing kid and a group of friends on bicycles soon grew into a story filled with monsters, secret experiments, and unforgettable characters. Over time, we’ve watched Eleven and her friends face new dangers, uncover hidden truths, and fight to keep Hawkins safe. Now, after four successful seasons, the series is finally moving towards its final chapter.
Netflix has confirmed that Stranger Things season 5 will be released in three separate parts. The good news? The first set of episodes is set to arrive next week.
The first part of Stranger Things season 5 will premiere on November 27, 2025, at 6:30 AM IST on Netflix. Volume 1 will include four episodes. The remaining episodes will be released over the following months.

To save Hawkins once and for all, the group must come together for one last, final fight.
