Stranger Things Season 5 Is Already Breaking Netflix Records

by


The long-awaited fifth season of Stranger Things on Netflix is one of this year’s most eagerly anticipated returns. During its Tudum presentation, Netflix finally unveiled the timeline for the initial release of the three parts. Although part 1 of the release is still a few months off, it hasn’t stopped the show from setting an impressive record on Netflix. In just four days since the release of Netflix’s release date announcement video on May 31st (as reported by Variety), it has already garnered over 250 million impressions across all Netflix platforms. This significant number surpasses any other similar announcement made in such a short timeframe in Netflix history, demonstrating that the show has kicked off with an incredible momentum.

For several seasons now, Stranger Things has been one of Netflix’s most-watched series. However, its upcoming fifth season carries a special weight as it marks the conclusion of the show. The suspenseful ending of season 4 paves the way for what promises to be an exciting finale, and at Tudum, Netflix announced that this final chapter will be divided into three parts, with each part set to premiere towards the end of the year.

Netflix is planning to debut the initial four episodes on November 26th, followed by three more episodes on Christmas Day (December 25th). The last episode of the series will be released on December 31st, making it an ideal viewing choice for those who prefer staying in instead of watching the ball drop in New York City.

For individuals who might not recall the ending of season 4, the group encountered the destruction of Hawkins when rifts emerged from the Upside Down. This prompts the Hawkins team to locate and ultimately eliminate Vecna, a task simpler in theory than in practice, especially if they can even find him first. Add the government’s attempt to apprehend Eleven into the mix, and you have a concoction for chaos. In the end, it will require everyone uniting for one final fight to put an end to this nightmare permanently.

The majority of your beloved characters from the series will be back for the fifth and last season, including Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair, Brett Gelman as Murray, Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna, Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler, Amybeth McNulty as Vickie, Nell Fisher as Holly Wheeler, Jake Connelly as Derek Turnbow, Alex Breaux as Lt. Akers, and Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay. For your convenience, here is a summary of Stranger Things season 5.

1987’s autumn. Hawkins bears the scars of the Rifts’ opening, and our protagonists are united by a shared objective: locate and eliminate Vecna. However, he has vanished, leaving us in the dark about his whereabouts and intentions. Worsening their mission, the government has imposed a military lockdown on the town, escalating its pursuit of Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As Will’s disappearance anniversary draws near, so does an oppressive, haunting dread. The final confrontation approaches – one that promises a darkness more potent and lethal than anything they’ve previously encountered. To vanquish this terror, they must rally their forces – the entire group – for one last stand.
