“This is a code red,” it reads (viaGeo News). “Stranger Things 5production has officially begun!!!”

Indeed, you can see Finn Wolfhard (Mike) holding some bound papers that will surely a written copy of one of the episodes – sadly you can’t read the title.

Thankfully, we already know the name of the first episode – it’s reportedly called “Chapter One: The Crawl”. No other details on it are available at present.

It is thought that there will be fewer episodes in season 5 than its predecessors (which ran for either 8 or 9 chapters each). However, the Duffer brothers have previously hinted that episodes could be longer to compensate.

They have also stated that the final season will conclude the stories of existing characters, rather than add new faces. That might be why there aren’t any additional cast members in this picture.

When will Stranger Things season 5 be released?

We don’t know yet when Netflix plans to debutStranger Things 5, but considering production has literally only just begun it won’t be soon. You shouldn’t expect anything to appear on thestreaming servicethis year, for sure.

However, it could return in 2025 – likely the summer of that year, as seasons 1, 3 and 4 each premiered in May - July. That’d give the effects team enough time to get the most-eagerly anticipated horror series into the best possible shape. It has to go out with a bang.
