Netflix capped off “Stranger Things” Day by debuting the first five minutes of the fifth and final season, streaming below.
The clip takes us into the Upside Down on November 12, 1983 — six days after Will Byers originally went missing — and reveals that Vecna has been the mastermind from the very beginning.
Find out what happens next when “Stranger Things” concludes on Netflix in three parts: four episodes on November 26, three episodes on December 25, and the series finale — also in theaters — on December 31. Each volume releases at 5pm PT/8pm ET.
In the fall of 1987, Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding.
As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono, and Amybeth McNulty star.
Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise), Alex Breaux (“American Primeval”), and Jake Connelly join the ensemble in Season 5.
Created by the Duffer Brothers, “Stranger Things” debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular properties. Animated series “Stranger Things: Tales from ’85” is due out in 2026, with more projects set in the “Stranger Things” universe expected to follow.
