A Brief Look That Caused a Big Stir
Just before the official release, Netflix briefly published the trailer for Stranger Things 5 a day early. The clip appeared on the platform’s official channels on October 29 before being removed within minutes. This accidental early release caused a massive wave of excitement and speculation across social media as fans captured and shared the footage.
While Netflix has not made an official statement about the early leak, it removed the video and replaced it with a maintenance notice. The brief glimpse featured key scenes, including Eleven in mysterious settings and the town of Hawkins facing new threats, with one social media user noting that “the military scenes look crazy”.
The Final Season’s Story and Release Schedule
The official synopsis for the final season sets the stage for an epic conclusion. The story picks up in the fall of 1987. The town of Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. However, he has vanished, and his plans are unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding.
The final season will be released in three volumes. Volume 1 (Episodes 1-4) arrives on November 26, 2025, followed by Volume 2 (Episodes 5-7) on Christmas Day, and the series Finale (Episode 8) on New Year’s Eve. Each volume will be released at 5:00 p.m. PT.
In a related event, Netflix will also release the first five minutes of Stranger Things Season 5 on November 6 to celebrate “Stranger Things Day.” Fans can watch it early by RSVPing to the Netflix TUDUM event on November 6.
