Stranger Things Season 5 release date
While excitement builds for the final chapter of the Hawkins saga, Stranger Things fans will have to wait a little longer. Season 5 won't be hitting Netflix screens in 2024. Due to the show's reliance on complex visual effects and delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, the Stranger Things Season 5 release date has been pushed back to 2025. This wait will allow the creators to deliver a season that will match the epic scope fans expect.
Stranger Things Season 5 cast
The showdown in Hawkins is assembling its team. Stranger Things Season 5 brings back all your favourite characters — Winona Ryder reprises her role as the tenacious Joyce Byers, alongside David Harbour as the gruff-yet-lovable Jim Hopper (who hopefully gets a well-deserved break from Russia this time).
Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, and the other young heroes are all set to return. Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton will return as Nancy and Jonathan Byers, ready to delve into the Upside Down's mysteries once more. And who could forget everyone's favourite babysitter, Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), and his witty sidekick Robin Buckley (Maya Hawke)? Newcomer Linda Hamilton also joins the cast, though details about her character remain shrouded in secrecy. Get ready to see these heroes, old and new, band together for one last epic battle against the forces of darkness.
Stranger Things Season 5 trailer
While a full trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 hasn't dropped yet, Netflix has released a haunting teaser to whet fans' appetites.
