Stranger Things Season 5 release date on Netflix – India timing

When does Stranger Things Season 5 arrive?

The final season of Stranger Things — Season 5 — will debut on Netflix in late November 2025. The show will be released in three volumes rather than all at once. Part 1 (Episodes 1–4) drops on November 26, 2025. The remaining episodes come out on December 25, 2025 (Episodes 5–7) and the finale on December 31, 2025.

Fast facts:

• Season 5 consists of 8 episodes in total.
• Part 1 (Episodes 1–4): November 26, 2025.
• Part 2 (Episodes 5–7): December 25, 2025.
• Final episode (Episode 8): December 31, 2025.

What time does it release in India?

For Indian viewers, the first volume (Part 1) will be available at 6:30 AM IST on November 27, 2025. This corresponds to the global release time offset for India.

Where to watch and what to expect

Season 5 will stream exclusively on Netflix. As the final chapter of the series, fans can expect the return of beloved characters and a concluding storyline for Hawkins and the mysteries of the Upside Down.

Why the staggered release?

Unlike previous seasons, Season 5 uses a three-part release schedule. This release strategy gives the show a cinematic rollout — shaping anticipation around holiday dates (Thanksgiving week, Christmas, New Year’s Eve) and giving viewers time between drops to discuss and digest major twists.
