If it feels like we’ve been waiting roughly 84 years for Stranger Things to come back, that’s because we pretty much have. But at long last, Netflix is finally cracking open the gates to Hawkins again — and this time, it’s the beginning of the end.
Netflix confirmed that the fifth and final season of Stranger Things will roll out in three parts, because apparently they enjoy watching us suffer in slow motion.
When will Stranger Things season 5 episodes drop in Australia?
Volume one drops in Australia on November 27 at 12 pm AEDT, featuring the first four episodes. Volume two lands on Boxing Day (December 26) at 12 pm AEDT, just in time for that post-Christmas food coma binge. And the series finale — deep breath — will hit Netflix on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026 at 12 pm AEDT.
So yes, Netflix really said, “New year, new trauma”.
Here’s what that looks like across the country for anyone planning a viewing party (or an emotional support group):
- Sydney / Melbourne / Canberra / Hobart 12:00 pm AEDT
- Brisbane 11:00 am AEST
- Adelaide 11:30 am ACDT
- Darwin 10:30 am ACST
- Perth 9:00 am AWST
How many episodes are there in Stranger Things season five?
Season five will feature eight episodes in total and Netflix has been kind enough to share the titles so we can speculate and spiral about what the hell they mean here:
- “The Crawl”
- “The Vanishing Of”
- “The Turnbow Trap”
- “Sorcerer”
- “Shock Jock”
- “Escape From Camazotz”
- “The Bridge”
- “The Rightside Up”
What we know about Stranger Things season five
The Duffer brothers have described the final season as “the culmination of everything”, meaning we can expect emotional devastation, massive stakes, and probably a few goodbyes that will destroy our group chat morale for weeks.
While Netflix hasn’t spilled much about plot specifics, stars Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Sadie Sink (Max), and Joe Keery (Steve) are all officially back — alongside a few new additions, including Linda Hamilton (The Terminator).
As for Joseph Quinn’s beloved Eddie? Still gone, sadly. But considering this show’s relationship with the Upside Down and parallel worlds, fans aren’t ruling anything out just yet.
So clear your schedule, grab the Eggos, and maybe text your group chat now to emotionally prepare — Hawkins is about to go out with a bang.
