A First Look At Stranger Things 5 — The Show’s Fifth And Final Season
Honey wake up, the first five minutes of Stranger Things 5 just dropped.
By Lucy Lauron,
It’s November 6 in Los Angeles, United States of America. Why is this important? It’s the day that started it all in the plot of Netflix’s hit show, Stranger Things: the day when Will Byers (played by Noah Schnapp) went missing. On November 27, 2025, the show is slated to run its fifth and final season on Netflix — nine years after its debut in 2016. To honour the end of one of the most watched shows on Netflix, fans got an extra treat for Stranger Things Day: the show’s world premiere that took place in Los Angeles, and a sneak peek of season 5’s first episode.
Are we getting end-game Eleven (played be Millie Bobby Brown) and Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard)?

Will we be getting an in-depth look at what Will really went through when he first disappeared into the Upside Down?

Where To Watch Season 5
Season 4 left Max (played by Sadie Sink) in critical condition. Where will season 5 take her, especially with her romantic tension with Lucas (played by Caleb McLaughlin)?
