In the aftermath of the writers and actors' strikes, Netflix has set its sights on releasing new seasons of its popular shows, including Stranger Things season 5 and Wednesday season 2. However, fans of Stranger Things may have to wait quite a while for the next installment.
During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Millie Bobby Brown disclosed that there is still nine months of filming left for Stranger Things season 5. Considering the typical 5-8 months of post-production for previous seasons, the potential release date could range from May 2025 to August 2025, over a year from now.
Given the possibility of a VFX-heavy season with an intense final battle, the post-production timeline may extend further. Netflix might opt to split season 5 into two parts, following the trend of their major series.
This extended gap between seasons highlights a recurring issue for Netflix, where the hiatus between show installments has been notably lengthy. Despite the impact of the recent strikes, the delay for Stranger Things season 5 could still amount to two and a half years or more.
While Netflix has not provided an official release date, speculations point towards a spring/summer 2025 premiere. The anticipation for the upcoming season remains high, with the promise of a blockbuster event whenever it finally arrives.
Recent updates on Stranger Things season 5 include the casting of Linda Hamilton and the exclusion of Eduardo Franco's character, Argyle. The first episode, titled 'The Crawl,' is set to open with a child singing a familiar song amidst blowing wind.
The Duffer Brothers have hinted at incorporating elements from the 'Upside Down' document into the upcoming season, promising significant revelations. However, much of the plot remains shrouded in secrecy, leaving fans eager for more details.
As viewers eagerly await further developments, the future of Stranger Things season 5 holds numerous surprises in store. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated series.
