The Duffer Brothers previously said one character is ‘going to hopefully tie the whole series together’.
Netflix’s mega-hit sci-fi series Stranger Things will be wrapping up with its upcoming fifth season and fresh details have just dropped about the episodes.
In a new teaser, Netflix confirmed that the much-anticipated season of the show will be arriving sometime in 2025.
It also released the titles of the eight episodes, alongside a caption reading: “In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins.”
The episode titles are as follows:
- The Crawl
- The Vanishing of…
- The Turnbow Trap
- Sorcerer
- Shock Jock
- Escape from Camazotz
- The Bridge
- The Rightside Up
Last year, the show’s creators revealed details about what fans can expect from the final batch of episodes.

Matt and Ross Duffer – credited as the Duffer Brothers – made the comments as part of a profile in Variety about Noah Schnapp, the actor who plays Will Byers, the younger son of Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder), on the series.
Will is one of the Stranger Things’ main characters, with his disappearance back in season one kicking off the show’s supernatural shenanigans.

In the Variety article, the Duffer Brothers joke about Schnapp’s reputation for accidentally revealing spoilers about the Netflix runaway hit, with Matt Duffer stating:
“We sent him the first three scripts for Season 5. I texted him and said: ‘Just don’t be a Tom Holland here.’ He laughed about it and said: ‘Of course not.’ And then he immediately put something on TikTok about them. But you can never be mad at Noah. He’s a sweet kid. He can’t help himself.”
The Duffers then reveal that they took the risk of sending Schnapp the scripts because they wanted to prepare the 20-year-old for the major role his character will play in the final season.
On this, Ross Duffer explained: “Will really takes center stage again in 5. This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together.
“Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.”
It was previously revealed that Stranger Things season five will consist of eight episodes and will see Linda Hamilton of The Terminator franchise fame joining the cast.
The start of production on the final batch of episodes was delayed by the writers’ strike.
