“Stranger Things 5” Reveals Season 5 Episode Titles & 2025 Release

Netflix has revealed a new Stranger Things teaser that reveals the titles for the fifth and final season’s episodes and that the gang will have one last adventure in 2025. November 6 is a special day in the Stranger Things verse; it was November 6, 1983, when Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) was abducted and taken to the Upside Down. Now, we know the titles for the series’ final eight episodes thanks to Netflix’s little taster, and they also revealed that the final season takes place in the fall of 1987, four years after Will Byers was first abducted. The Stranger Things crew has had one heckuva ride.

The episode titles are “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of…,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.” Many of these titles speak to earlier titles and details from the series.

The first episode of the entire series was “The Vanishing of Will Byers,” and now that we’re somewhat revisiting that title with “The Vanishing of…”, the fan speculation engine has ramped up regarding who the new missing person will be. The scuttlebutt is that the missing person will be Mike’s (Finn Wolfhard) younger sister, Holly Wheeler, recently recast with Evil Dead Rise actor Nell Fisher. Naturally, Netflix hasn’t revealed a thing. Then there’s the reveal of the season finale’s title, “The Rightside Up,” which echoes the season 1 finale “The Upside Down.”

Stranger Things fans will also probably recall a business in Hawkins called Turnbow Land Development & Realty, which would lend credence to the belief that “The Turnbow Trap” will involve the business. Fans of Madeline L’Engle’s iconic sci-fi novel “A Wrinkle in Time” will notice the name of a planet from that book, Camaztoz, which is controlled by the evil Black Thing and IT, in the title “Escape From Camaztoz.”

Check out the teaser below. Stranger Things 5 premieres on Netflix in 2025.
