Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 Release Date Announced: Netflix Sets Christmas Premiere for Final Chapters
Netflix has confirmed the release schedule for Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2. Three new episodes will premiere on December 25, with the series finale arriving on December 31. The final season jumps to fall 1987 as the group prepares for a last battle against Vecna.
According to Netflix, Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 will premiere on Wednesday, December 25, delivering three brand-new episodes. The episodes will be available for streaming simultaneously worldwide at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT, allowing viewers to dive back into Hawkins on Christmas Day. These episodes follow the first four installments of the season, which were released on November 26.
Season 5 has been officially confirmed as the final chapter of the Stranger Things saga, bringing an end to the story that began in 2016. The new season opens in the fall of 1987, marking a time jump from the dramatic events of the Season 4 finale. The narrative centers on Will Byers, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, and the rest of the group as they unite for a final mission: to track down and destroy Vecna, the powerful antagonist who has threatened both Hawkins and the Upside Down.
Netflix has also outlined the release plan for the series finale. The concluding episode of Stranger Things Season 5 is scheduled to premiere on New Year’s Eve, December 31, at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT, positioning the show’s ending as a major year-end streaming event.
As the final episodes roll out across two key holiday dates, the staggered release strategy underscores the cultural weight of the series and Netflix’s effort to give each chapter space to resonate with audiences. With long-running character arcs set to conclude and the fate of Hawkins hanging in the balance, Season 5 Volume 2 is expected to deliver some of the most consequential moments in the show’s history.
The conclusion of Stranger Things will not only close a defining chapter in Netflix’s original programming but also mark the end of a series that reshaped the streaming landscape and became a global pop culture phenomenon.
