“In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins,” shares a new teaser for Stranger Things‘ final season. If that sounds ominous, we feel like it’s because it is. Either way, Stranger Things 5 is coming our way, and it’s coming soon. We don’t know if we feel emotionally prepared for the final season to strike us, but strike us it will. Netflix officially revealed on Stranger Things Day 2024 (November 6, the day Will Byers disappeared) that Stranger Things 5 will release in 2025. Yes, that’s just around the corner. In addition to sharing a release date window for the final season of Stranger Things, the platform also shared the episode titles for Stranger Things 5. And that has left us a lot to think about.

You can check out the full list of episodes below and then dive deep into what these new Stranger Things 5 titles mean in our piece here. We also speculate a little bit about the specific release date we can expect for Stranger Things‘ final season.

The Full List of Stranger Things 5 Episode Titles

Okay, it’s all becoming very real now. We already knew the title of the first episode of Stranger Things‘ final season would be “The Crawl.” But now, several other titles have come to join it. Below, you can check out the full list of episode titles Netflix revealed for Stranger Things 5. We assume these are the titles for the entire season, but it’s possible Netflix could surprise us.

  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 1 will be titled “The Crawl”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 2 will be titled “The Vanishing of REDACTED”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 3 will be titled “The Turnbow Trap”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 4 will be titled “Sorcerer”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 5 will be titled “Shock Jock”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 6 will be titled “Escape from Camazotz”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 7 will be titled “The Bridge”
  • Stranger Things 5, Episode 8 will be titled “The Rightside Up”
Netflix

All of these Stranger Things 5 episode titles really have our gears turning… Especially “The Rightside Up.” Could there be another parallel plane that exists around Hawkins, Indiana, like the Upside Downbut in this one, everything is good, and nothing hurts? We’d like to think so.

Stranger Things 5 Release Date Window: When Will the Final Season Release?

Netflix

We don’t yet know exactly when Stranger Things‘ final season will release. But we do have a release date window now. According to this new teaser, Stranger Things 5 will release in 2025. It’s also not yet clear if the final season of Stranger Things will have “Volumes” or “Parts” the way Stranger Things 4 did. If so, we could be looking at more than one premiere date for Stranger Things 5. Previous seasons of Stranger Things have released in the spring, summer, and fall—so season five really could come at any time.

The “Episode Title” teaser for Stranger Things 5 does go out of its way to stress that this last adventure begins “in the fall of 1987.” So that could possibly be a hint toward a more specific release timing. Then again, the sneak peek didn’t say, “In the fall of 2025.” So, we can’t say for sure. In any case, we know Stranger Things 5 won’t come after December 2025, so our wait can only go so long.

We can’t wait to see where this upside down/rightside up journey takes us.
