As a child of the ’80s who grew up with the original “Stranger Things” series, I must say that the announcement of its fifth and final season has sent me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The anticipation is palpable, like waiting for the next big adventure after finishing an epic book series or unwrapping the latest Nintendo console.
The much-anticipated fifth and concluding season of “Stranger Things” is set to premiere in 2025, as announced by Netflix on Wednesday. To mark November 6, 1983, or “Stranger Things Day,” which marks the day when Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) was taken into the Upside Down, Netflix also shared a video unveiling the titles for the final eight episodes that will bring an end to the supernatural saga of Hawkins, Indiana.
The titles of the episodes are “The Creep,” “The Disappearance of…,” “The Turnbow’s Peril,” “The Sorcerer,” “The Shock DJ,” “Escape from Camazotz,” “The Crossing,” and “Upside Down.
Certain titles appear to reference past episodes: “The Disappearance of…” – where the name is concealed entirely – mirrors the series debut titled “The Disappearance of Will Byers.” While some viewers online have speculated that the latest character taken might be Holly Wheeler, Mike’s (Finn Wolfhard) younger sister who has been recast with Nell Fisher from “Evil Dead Rise,” Netflix has not yet confirmed these assumptions.
The title of the Season 1 finale was “The Upside Down,” referring to a mysterious parallel dimension linked to Hawkins. It’s fitting that the series finale bears the opposite title, “The Rightside Up.” Similarly, the penultimate episode, titled “The Bridge,” echoes intriguing titles from earlier seasons like “The Piggyback” (Season 4) and “The Gate” (Season 2).
In simpler terms, it seems that other titles hint at fresh terminology within the “Stranger Things” universe. For instance, “The Turnbow Trap” may possibly allude to a business in Hawkins called Turnbow Land Development & Realty, as series co-creator Ross Duffer shared an altered billboard for this company on Instagram in March. On the other hand, “Shock Jock” likely refers to a radio station, WSQK, which appears (once more, thanks to posts from Ross Duffer) to be included in the new season.
In “Stranger Things,” there’s a possible reference to Madeleine L’Engle’s novel “A Wrinkle in Time” with the mention of “Escape From Camazotz.” Camazotz in this context may hold a similar significance as it does in L’Engle’s book, where it is a planet dominated by malevolent forces known as the Black Thing and IT. The identity of who might be attempting to escape from this ominous place in “Stranger Things” remains unclear.
As a movie enthusiast reminiscing about my favorite series, let me tell you that one captivating detail I noticed is the subtle hint that the new season unfolds in autumn of 1987, four years following the events depicted in the first season – a season that made its grand entrance eight years prior, in 2016.
