It’s been a whole year since the fifth and final season was announced by Netflix back in February 2022 and the fandom is all hyped up to know when this popular series will premiere the final season, especially after how the fourth season ended, “Chapter Nine: The Piggyback,” with selfless hearts and a clash of metal, heroes fight from every corner of the battlefield to save Hawkins and the world itself.
There is no question that the gang is prepared to immediately jump into action to save Hawkins from more supernatural occurrences after such a significant cliffhanger!
It’s fair to say that the wait is going to be tortuous, and we can feel the same as you. If you speculate about the potential release date and plotlines of the upcoming season. So, for your convenience, we have listed some crucial details that will serve as a guide to understanding when the season is likely to premiere on Netflix.
Much to readers’ delight it has been confirmed that the season will consist of eight episodes, and the principal photography is all set to begin in May 2023, which is exciting to hear that everything is going on a timely schedule! When it comes to the potential release date everything at this moment is just speculation. But, in a recent interview, David Harbour suggested that the final season will debut sometime in 2024.
He told GQ UK that the Duffers would be writing and doing pre-production on Season 5 that year, and the plan is to shoot in 2023, followed by post-production. “So it’d probably come out mid-2024, based on our track record,” the actor said. On the other hand, his co-star Finn Wolfhard has implied that Season 5 will be out sometime in 2025.
More recently, Harbour has also disclosed that the show won’t actually begin shooting until June 2023, so the wait will probably be longer than we first anticipated. Speaking with Collider, the actor said: ‘We’re walking into season five. I’ve got a couple more months to train. We start shooting that in June, though, and that will be the final season.’
After all these hints it’s fair to say that it’s going to be a very long hiatus!
If you noticed the previous chapters had a similar year gap in order to be consistent among the fans and build the hype for the new season more than it did before. In addition to this, the episode’s time slot on the streaming platform is expected to be around 12:00 a.m. (PT) or 3:00 a.m. (ET), just like other original shows.

When does Stranger Things 5 start filming?
There's currently no official confirmation on exactly when filming will begin on season 5, but hopefully it shouldn't take as long as the wait for season 4.
Noah Schnapp has shared that he's set to start filming in May 2023. In a livestream, Noah responded to a fan who asked if "school would interfere with shooting" the final season. He said that he'll start filming after his college classes finish in May.
In a recent film & comic con event, David Harbour also shared that he's set to begin filming in June 2023.

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."
During David Harbour's appearance at the , he hinted that quite a bit of time may have passed when we return because Hopper's physique will be different to the last time we saw him: "Now he's back in town, and he's back in America, where they have cheeseburgers. So he will have been well fed for season 5."
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. And there's no way a show that references pop culture as much as Stranger Things could ignore that...

How many episodes will Stranger Things 5 have?
We'll have to wait for confirmation about the length of season 5, but considering seasons 1 and 3 had 8 episodes, and seasons 2 and 4 had nine episodes, season 5 will likely be around the same length. It all depends on how much story the Duffer brothers want to tell in the final season.
The episode runtimes will likely be much shorter than season 4's episodes, too – except for the series finale. The Duffer brothers have said the final episode of season 5 will last "at least two hours," but not as long as the final episode of season 4.
In other interview with , Matt Duffer teased that the finale "will be pretty massive."
What are the Stranger Things 5 episode titles?
Well, the finally have our first episode title for the final season. Announced on November 6th 2022 for Stranger Things Day, season 5 episode 1's title was revealed to be: 'The Crawl'.
Now, what the hell does that mean? Does it reference Vecna's 'crawl' away from the Creel House after being shot out of the window by Nancy? Does it reference one of the characters 'crawling' into the Upside Down? Is it a reference to the lyrics of Metallica's 'Master of Puppets'? "Come crawling faster"?! EDDIE?!!
Fans have a theory that it could refer to Dungeons & Dragons dungeon crawl, which involves the party navigating a monster-packed maze. With the hint from the Duffer brothers that season 5 will be "moving pretty fast" when it opens, could the characters be heading into the Upside Down in the first episode?
