After a thrilling first four episodes, fans are eagerly awaiting the final part of Stranger Things Season 5. Unfortunately, there will be a bit of a delay before the rest of the season arrives on Netflix due to a change in the release plan.
The release of the final installment in the popular series was a massive hit, even causing Netflix to temporarily go offline due to the huge number of people watching.
The streaming service was quickly restored, allowing fans to finally see what happened in Hawkins after the events of Stranger Things Season 4.
The gang’s pursuit of Vecna leads to a major reveal, but it actually sets the stage for an even bigger conflict. The creators, the Duffer brothers, have said we’ll get more answers in the second part of the season, so here’s when you can expect it. Be careful – this contains spoilers!
Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 release date & time
The final episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 will be available on Netflix on December 25, 2025, at 5 PM Pacific Time / 8 PM Eastern Time – that’s Christmas Day!
Hey everyone, just a heads-up that the release time might be different depending on where you live, so double-check when it goes live in your specific time zone. Don’t want anyone missing out!
- 10pm Brazil
- 3am UK – November 27
- 4am CET – November 27
- 8:30am India Standard Time – November 27
- 12pm Japan – November 27
- 2pm Australia – November 27
- 4pm New Zealand – November 27
New shows and movies on Netflix typically become available at 12am Pacific Time / 3am Eastern Time, and usually all episodes of a series are released at once. However, the new season of Stranger Things is being released differently.
Why is it delayed?
Season 5 of Stranger Things isn’t being released until later in the day on purpose. It’s not due to any problems with production – Netflix wants viewers in the US to start watching when they’re most likely to be online.
The streaming service often uses this approach with its most popular shows, like Season 2 of Squid Game: The Challenge. They delayed the finale’s release to prevent spoilers and encourage more people to watch.
For fans outside the US, watching Volume 2 will mean late nights or avoiding spoilers online. Meanwhile, US viewers will be trading traditional holiday movies like ‘Home Alone’ for monsters and fantasy battles this holiday season.
How many parts is Stranger Things Season 5?
The newest season of Stranger Things is releasing in a way similar to Season 4, and different from the first three seasons. Instead of making all episodes available at once, Netflix and the creators are releasing the final season in three separate parts.
- Volume 1 (Episodes 1-4) – November 26
- Volume 2 (Episodes 5-7) – December 25
- Volume 3 (Episode 8) – December 31
By alternating focus between chapters, the story creates suspense as it approaches its climax, and this strategy effectively draws in more viewers.
Consider this: many viewers will likely subscribe to the streaming service just to watch Stranger Things. Because of the split release schedule, they’ll end up paying for two months instead of just one.
Season 5 runtimes & episode titles
The final season will have eight episodes, and despite the relatively small number, each episode is extra long. The creators, the Duffer brothers, have compared the season to “eight blockbuster movies.”
