Yes, Stranger Things 5 is happening – and it will be the final season.
In a new interview with , Ross Duffer previously said: "Season four won’t be the end. We know what the end is, and we know when it is.

Will there be a time jump in Stranger Things 5?
As any fan of Stranger Things will know, every season starts with a little bit of a time jump. The timeline jumped from November/December 1983 in season 1 to October 1984 in season 2, and then to July 1985 in season 3. Season 4 takes place in March 1986, eight months after the Battle of Starcourt.
But now it seems like the Duffer brothers might be considering another time-jump. Speaking to , they said a lengthy gap is almost unavoidable because of the ages of the younger actors: "I’m sure we will do a time jump. Ideally, we’d have shot [Seasons 4 and 5] back to back, but there was just no feasible way to do that."
What year will Stranger Things 5 be set in?
Each season of Stranger Things takes place one year later, but it remains to be seen whether season 5 will take place in 1987. With the Upside Down spreading fast in Hawkins, and the threat of Vecna becoming very very immediate, just how far forward in the timeline will they jump?
We'll update this article as soon as we know more information.
If the show goes beyond March 1988 then it could coincide with the release of Beetlejuice which, of course, stars the real life superstar Winona Ryder.
