On Wednesday, Netflix announced that the fifth and final season of Stranger Things will arrive in 2025. The streaming giant shared the first teaser of the highly anticipated show, in which it revealed the titles for the final eight episodes, which will conclude the supernatural story of Hawkins, Indiana. The episode titles are The Crawl, The Vanishing of..., The Turnbow Trap, Sorcerer, Shock Jock, Escape From Camazotz, The Bridge, and The Rightside Up.
Some of these titles allude to earlier episodes: The Vanishing of.... - revealed with the name fully obscured - invokes the series premiere The Vanishing of Will Byers. Fans online have already speculated that the new abductee could be Holly Wheeler, the younger sister of Mike (Finn Wolfhard) who was reportedly recast with Evil Dead Rise actor Nell Fisher, but Netflix has not officially confirmed. The Season 1 finale was titled The Upside Down, the name of the phantasmagoric alternate dimension connected to Hawkins, so it is fitting that the series finale title, The Rightside Up, is the reverse. And the penultimate episode title, The Bridge, evokes curious titles like Season 4's The Piggyback and Season 2's The Gate.
While season 5 marks the conclusion of the main series, Netflix has exciting plans for the Stranger Things universe, including a live stage production titled Stranger Things: The First Shadow in London's West End and an animated spinoff series currently in development.
Since its debut in 2016, Stranger Things has captivated global audiences, becoming one of Netflix's most popular and enduring shows. The recent fourth season alone amassed a staggering 140 million views worldwide, underscoring its cultural impact and fan devotion. As anticipation mounts for the epic conclusion, fans can expect Stranger Things Season 5 to deliver thrills, nostalgia, and a fitting farewell to the beloved characters and universe they have grown to love.
