Netflix just released a set of bold posters for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, and fans are already feeling the weight of what’s coming.
About the Series
Set in the 1980s town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things follows a group of kids who uncover a secret government experiment that opens a portal to a dark parallel world known as the Upside Down. As supernatural threats emerge, they team up with a mysterious girl named Eleven—who has telekinetic powers—to fight monsters, uncover conspiracies, and protect their town. Over five seasons, the series blends horror, sci-fi, and nostalgia, building toward an epic final showdown between good and evil.
The Posters
The posters show characters like Dustin, Lucas, Mike, and Will standing beside their younger Season 1 selves. These reflections highlight how much they’ve grown and what they’ve survived. Each poster includes a quote from earlier seasons, adding a nostalgic touch that connects the beginning to the end.
A glowing red “5” looms in the background, setting a tense mood. Vecna is still out there. Hawkins is torn apart. The Upside Down is breaking through. The posters make it clear—this final battle will be the biggest yet.
Season 5 takes place in fall 1987, after Hawkins suffers major damage. The government locks down the town. Eleven hides again. The group is scattered, but Will’s disappearance anniversary pulls them back together. Their goal is simple: find Vecna and stop him. But the danger is greater than ever, and the emotional toll is already showing.
Cast and Crew
The cast returns with Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Sadie Sink, and Gaten Matarazzo. Linda Hamilton joins the story, and Amybeth McNulty steps into a bigger role. Directors Shawn Levy, Dan Trachtenberg, and Frank Darabont will lead the final episodes. Darabont even came out of retirement for this.
Conclusion
Netflix will release the season in three volumes. Volume 1 drops November 26. Volume 2 follows on December 25. The finale lands December 31. With the posters now out and the schedule locked in, fans are gearing up for one last trip into the Upside Down.
Stranger Things is ready to end with heart, horror, and everything Hawkins has left to give.
