| Stranger Things season 5 |
We knew this day would one day come because as they say, all good things must come to an end. On February 17, the Duffer Brothers announced that season 5 will be the final chapter for Stranger Things, the sci-fi series that’s sustained global phenomenon status throughout its record-breaking run on Netflix. It’ll be very difficult to say goodbye, but the epic adventures of our favorite Dungeons & Dragons crew are not over yet.
We’ve seen Eleven, Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Max, and the rest of the Hawkins gang fight demogorgons, traverse the mysteries of the Upside Down, battle Russians and Mind Flayers at the Starcourt Mall, and try to defeat the alternate dimension’s latest villain, Vecna. Now that Volume 2 of Stranger Things 4 is out on Netflix, we’re already wondering how the many storylines of this show might wrap up in season 5. And most importantly, when will it premiere? Will it be split up into two parts like season 4? There are so many questions.
But luckily, we’re here to break all the details down. Below, find out everything we know so far about season 5 of Stranger Things.

Has Stranger Things 5 started filming?
Not just yet. But we’re one step closer! On August 25, the official Stranger Things’ writers room Twitter account shared an update on season 5 production. Alongside a photo of a whiteboard divided into eight episodes, they wrote, “Grid stage.” One user noticed two lines separating episodes 4 and 5, and questioned if this symbolizes where the season’s time jump takes place.

“Not a time jump. Does it mean anything? 🤔,” the writers room replied. Hmmmm. Showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer (aka The Duffer Brothers) previously teased that there will be a time jump in the final season, but perhaps it will be in effect from the very first episode? Or, maybe the two lines signify that the season will be split into two releases, like season 4
In early August, the writers room confirmed that they’ve officially started penning the final season.
Will there be new cast members in Stranger Things season 5?
While we got to see the addition of new characters like our all-time fave Eddie Munson and Vecna in Stranger Things 4, it doesn’t look like there will be new additions in the show’s fifth and final season. “We're doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5," Matt Duffer told IndieWire. “We're trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG characters, I guess.
