“Stranger Things” has (almost) come to an end.
Production has wrapped on the fifth and final season of Netflix‘s hit series, the streamer announced Friday. A release date for the finale hasn’t been revealed yet, but Netflix has confirmed the show will be back in 2025.
“That’s a wrap on ‘Stranger Things,’” Netflix posted on X with some behind-the-scenes photos. “See you in 2025.”
The entire cast is back for Season 5: Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman, Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair and Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna. “Terminator” star Linda Hamilton is also joining the cast in a mysterious role.
Season 4 premiered back in summer 2022 in two parts, released separately in May and July. The episodes were supersized — all over 60 minutes, and the final episode of Part 2 was more than two hours long. It ended with an all-out battle against the evil Vecna and the Demogorgons in the Upside Down, where the beloved newcomer Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) sacrificed himself to save the gang. Vecna is weakened in the aftermath, but remains powerful enough to spread the Upside Down into Hawkins. Everyone in the main cast survives, but Max is left in a coma after Vecna controlled her body.
