The Stranger Things series first premiered on Netflix in 2016. Initially, it was fairly well-known, but it didn’t truly explode in popularity until 2018, when the second season was released. From that point on, it became a major mainstream hit, dominating social media and trending across popular streaming platforms, especially Netflix. Anticipation for the next season was massive, with fans counting down the days.
When the third season finally dropped in the summer of 2020, it lived up to the hype and then some. It was one of the best seasons yet, packed with thrill, suspense, and unexpected plot twists. However, it ended on a rocky and emotional note that left viewers on edge; full of questions and theories about what might come next.
Now, in 2025, after a long wait, the new season is finally set to release this November. That’s a bit surprising, considering the show had basically become a summer tradition, something we all looked forward to when school let out. Still, fans are hyped to see what happens next.
As for predictions, many believe that Season 5 will be darker and more intense than any of the previous ones. With the way Season 4 ended, especially with Vecna still on the loose, things are definitely about to escalate. Some fans, including myself, think one of the main characters might die, while others believe Eleven will finally reach her full potential. There’s also the looming question of what will happen to Hawkins now that the Upside Down seems to be merging with the real world.
Whatever ends up happening is definitely going to be crazy and everyone is more than ready for the finale to arrive.
