Netflix splits Stranger Things’ final season into a holiday trilogy with Volume 1 arriving November 26th. Get ready for the ultimate goodbye!

Stranger Things’ Epic Finale: Split in Three!

Netflix just dropped that Hawkins fans have been waiting for! The final season is coming, but not all at once.

Instead, they’re serving up a three-part feast spanning the holidays.

Volume 1 lands November 26th, Volume 2 unwraps on Christmas, and we’ll toast the finale on New Year’s Eve.

Growing Up in Hawkins

Our favorite monster-hunting trio—Finn, Caleb, and Noah—shared the news at Netflix’s Tudum event alongside a teaser that’ll give you goosebumps.

“Can’t believe how much we’ve grown,” Finn said, making us all feel ancient as we’ve watched these kids practically grow up on screen since that magical summer of 2016.

Return to the Nightmare

The journey kicks off with “The Crawl,” dropping us into fall 1987—a whole year after season 4’s chaos.

Remember where things stood? Poor Max lying still in hospital with Lucas by her side, while El and the gang watched in horror as the Upside Down ripped through their hometown like it was nothing.

Mystery Titles Spark Theories

Netflix is being super sneaky about episode 2, only teasing “The Vanishing of…” someone.

The other episodes—from “Turnbow Trap” to “The Rightside Up”—have fans buzzing with theories.

Each title feels like a puzzle piece to the massive story that’s kept us glued to our screens for years.

Broadway Drops Season 5 Hints

If you’re desperate for clues, look to the stage! The Broadway show “The First Shadow” suggests Vecna wasn’t always the big bad we thought—but possessed by something even darker.

This twist could completely change how the final chapter unfolds when our heroes face their ultimate battle.

The Ultimate Goodbye

“Like eight blockbuster movies” is the Duffer brothers’ promise for this finale.

After filming for a full year and capturing over 650 hours of footage, they’re going all out.

This season isn’t just big—it’s massive—a fitting farewell to the show that changed how we binge TV forever.
