Stranger Things 5 is going to be the final season, which will premiere this year.
The show, which was first premiered on Netflix on July 15, 2016, will finally end in 2025 after seven years.
The stars, many of whom landed their first major roles with this show, were in their preteens and teens, including Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin and Gaten Matarazzo.
Over the years, Stranger Things broke many Netflix records including the most streamed series of 2024, per The Hollywood Reporter.
The show, created by Matt and Ross Duffer, announced that the fifth season would be the last in an earlier interview with Collider.
“It’s also going to be a full-circle season, as Will, who has been demoted to the sidelines since season 1, is going to be a big part and focus,” said Matt.
