Stranger Things Season 5: Check estimated Netflix release date, latest updates, production status and more

Stranger Things, Netflix's beloved flagship show, is set to return for its fifth and final season. While the production delay may push the release date as far as 2025, fans are eagerly anticipating the epic conclusion of this popular series. Here, we will provide an overview of Stranger Things Season 5, including renewal status, expectations, and the current production status.

Renewal Status:

Netflix officially renewed Stranger Things for its fifth and final season ahead of the release of Season 4. The show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, had previously expressed uncertainty about the exact number of seasons required to tell the full story. However, it was revealed that Season 5 would conclude the series.

What to Expect from Stranger Things Season 5:

Welcome to Hell, Hawkins: Following the events of Season 4, Hawkins is in chaos. Vecna, also known as Henry or 001, succeeded in opening a giant gate between the Upside Down and the real world. The town is in ruins, with plant life decaying rapidly and residents fleeing to escape further danger. Expect a large military presence surrounding Hawkins, with only a few residents and our heroes remaining to fight against Vecna.

Vecna's Return / 001 vs. 011: Although Vecna narrowly escaped being killed, his injuries and recovery remain unclear. Once he regains his strength, Vecna is expected to unleash his true powers on Hawkins and release hordes of monsters from the Upside Down. The battle between Vecna and Eleven (011) will likely intensify as the fate of Hawkins hangs in the balance.

Production Status:

The production of Stranger Things Season 5 has faced delays. Writing for the fifth season began in August 2022, as confirmed by the Stranger Things writers' Twitter account. Filming was originally scheduled to commence in May 2023, with Atlanta, Georgia, serving as the filming location. The show is expected to return to EUE/Screen Gems Studios Atlanta Studio, which has been its home since Season 1.

The production's working title/codename is reported to be "JERICHO." However, due to an ongoing writer's strike, the start of production has been officially delayed, as confirmed by the Duffer Brothers. Reports suggest that the writer's strike could last until the end of summer, resulting in a delay of at least two months for Season 5's production.
