Credit: Netflix Stranger Things Season 5 has been a very long time coming. In fact, 2022 feels like a lifetime ago.
The fourth season ended on such a huge cliffhanger — the gang seemingly defeating Vecna AKA Henry Creel/One (Jamie Campbell Bower) only to later witness the Upside Down converging with their world, starting with their hometown, Hawkins — that fans haven’t really known what to do with themselves in the three years since.
Throw in the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023, which slowed down production on Season 5 exponentially, and fans were left completely in the dark as to when they could expect the finale to finally arrive on Netflix. Now, the wait is almost over, as Stranger Things is set to return to Netflix later this year, as revealed in a brand-new teaser-trailer.
Watch the new teaser with the release date announcements below:
