The renewal was confirmed in a statement alongside the release date of Stranger Things Season 4, in which the show’s creators, the Duffer brothers, said: “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but — as you’ll soon see for yourselves — we are now hurtling towards our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last.” Now, that we know that Stranger Things Season 5 is in the works, fans are wondering if it will be released soon. Check out the latest updates about the final season’s release date below.
Is Stranger Things Season 5 coming in October 2022?
No, Stranger Things Season 5 is not scheduled to release in October 2022. The final season will not be released this year, and it’ll likely take more than a year for them to finish production and post-production work.

Stranger Things Season 5 Release Date Prediction
The release date of Stranger Things Season 5 would depend on when filming will begin. Filming on Season 4 wrapped in August/September 2021, and the first volume was released 9 months later. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production for Season 4 was significantly delayed. It was previously rumored to be released in January 2021, but was pushed back to May 2022, with the final two episodes releasing on July 1. Netflix and the Duffer brothers will likely share an update about the final season’s production status within a few months after Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2 comes out, and we can make a prediction based on that. The good news is that the creators of the show already know how the series will end, so the writing process shouldn’t take long. However, with filming and editing, especially with the huge amount of special effects expected for Season 5, it’s likely that fans might not see Season 5 until late 2023 at the earliest. Hopefully, there won’t be any delays this time.
Just a few days after Season 4 Vol. 2 premiered, Ross Duffer revealed when they will start writing Season 5. “We’re going to take a little vacation in July,” Ross Duffer told Steve Weintraub of Collider, “And then we’re going to come back. I know that the writer’s room is going to start in that first week of August.”
