At long last, the kids of Hawkins return to the Upside Down. Or should we say: The Upside Down comes to Hawkins. In 2025, Netflix’s mega-hit young adult horror series Stranger Things will return for its highly anticipated fifth and final season. The series is set to wrap up all of its remaining story threads — namely the threat of Vecna, the mastermind behind the show’s haunts and ruler of the nightmare realm known as the Upside Down.
The kids of Hawkins, Indiana aren’t kids anymore. They’re much older and a bit wiser than the middle schoolers we knew who played Dungeons & Dragons in Mike’s basement. But even now, they are not safe from the dangers that lie ahead. Here’s all we know so far about Stranger Things Season 5, from when to expect the release date to who will join the cast and more.
