The year 2025 is finally here, and it is bringing the end of some of Netflix’s most iconic shows. Stranger Things, of course, tops that list. Ever since Season 4 dropped, fans have been desperately waiting for all their questions to be answered and those pesky loose ends to be tied up in the final season. And now, after years of theories and speculation, a rumored premiere date has popped up. But, fans are still not happy.

Netflix has confirmed that Season 5 will drop in 2025, but they have not given an exact date yet. That has not stopped fan accounts from digging for clues. One popular page on X, @SThingsSpoilers, has recently claimed to have uncovered the release date. According to them, Netflix’s API lists Stranger Things Season 5 as premiering on November 27, 2025. But @SThingsSpoilers is not alone, either—another fan account, @UpsideDownScoop, which regularly shares updates on the show, has also posted about this possible date recently.

@UpsideDownScoop even mentioned that, as of now, “Season 5 is listed to release in one volume.” The account also added a warning, writing that it is still early, and Netflix could change its release plans in the future. Based on the number of episodes and their already-revealed titles, some fans think the creators might split the season into two volumes—just like they did with Season 4. But if that happens, fans might have to wait even longer for the second half. And, from what it seems, the fandom is struggling to cope with that possibility.

'Stranger Things' Fans Spill Their Most Unpopular and Controversial Takes Ahead of the Final Season

Fans have flooded X with their frustration over the lengthy wait for Stranger Things Season 5, after the rumored premiere date surfaced. 

It has been two long years since fans started waiting for Stranger Things Season 5, and their patience is running thin. Of course, not all of the delays were Netflix’s fault. Filming for the final season was originally supposed to start in May 2023, but back-to-back labor strikes caused an eight-month delay, and the filming did not start until January 2024. While most fans understand why the wait has been so long, many have reached their breaking point. A fan even stated that the premiere date is "not good enough".

Not everyone is grumpy about the wait, though. There are still plenty of fans who are hyped for the new season.

Filming for Stranger Things Season 5 officially wrapped in December, last year. Now, the post-production is expected to take anywhere from five to eight months, which means the earliest fans can expect the final season to arrive on Netflix should be in the fall of 2025. For now, fans can only hold tight and hope the wait, that has led them to do some random stuff on the web, leads to a finale that is totally worth it.
