Stranger Things Season 5 is coming later this year.The fifth season of Stranger Things is arriving later this year, and fans already have a lot of thoughts about what the final Hawkins showdown might look like.Fan theories and plot speculation have swirled ever since season four concluded back in 2022, which you’ll remember also got people talking for a whole other reason.The final episodes in that instalment ranged from one hour and five minutes to two hours and 22 minutes long, leading many viewers to believe that season five might follow suit with movie-length episodes.More than three years later, we now know that season five is due to arrive in three volumes, with the first four episodes coming 26 November, the next three at Christmas and a finale on New Year’s Eve.However, co-creator Ross Duffer addressed one key detail after a supposed “leak” of a screenshot appeared to show season five episodes ranging from two hours and five minutes to three hours long.In response, Ross shared the screenshot on his Instagram story with the caption “lol not even close to accurate”.Not Ross laughing at us bc the leak is severely OVER the real ep runtimes 😅 At least he’s AWARE fans want ALOT this season… pic.twitter.com/HWWMP2pdEZ— ɐuɔǝʌXoɯǝp ۶ৎ (@overandoutbyers) July 19, 2025Season five of the supernatural sci-fi picks back up as the gang are united once again by their goal to find and kill Vecna, with the official synopsis teasing that the “final battle is looming”.The release strategy for the final season frustrated fans when it was revealed earlier this summer, with many arguing the three instalments were frustrating after already waiting three years.Last year, star Caleb McLaughlin – who plays Lucas Sinclair in the series – joked with fans online about just how long the new season was taking with a hilarious edited picture depicting the cast much older than they are.The official Stranger Things account saw the funny side, writing in response: “OK grandpa lucas let’s get you to bed.”Production for the new season only kicked off in January of 2024, after the new season was paused last year due to the writers’ strike.Related...Netflix Finally Gave Fans A Huge Stranger Things Season 5 Update — Here’s What We KnowNetflix Unveils Release Strategy For Stranger Things Season 5 And...
