Ugh, the wait is painful, I know.

As of the last reliable info (mid-2024), Netflix was still saying Stranger Things 5 would drop sometime in 2025, but they hadn’t given a specific date. Because of the Hollywood strikes and production delays, most industry predictions were aiming for late 2025.

Since it’s already 26 November 2025, either:
* it’s literally about to release in the next few weeks, or
* Netflix quietly pushed it into early 2026 and just hasn’t admitted it yet (very on-brand).

So the honest answer: we don’t know the exact countdown yet — but we’re close(ish). Probably within a few months.

If you want, tell me what the latest headlines say and I’ll translate them into a proper timeline.
