It's "Stranger Things" day, and Netflix has marked the occasion with a taste of what's to come in "Stranger Things" season 5.
If you didn't know, "Stranger Things" day takes place on November 6, which is the same day that Will Byers first disappeared and the whole Hawkins saga was set in motion back in 1983.
Following that big behind-the-scenes "Stranger Things" update we got earlier in the year, the streamer dropped a handful of treats. First off, we got a new teaser confirming a few key details about the new season (embedded below).
Yes, this new "Stranger Things" teaser is really just a modified version of the title sequence, but it still tells us a few things about the new season.
Firstly, we got confirmation that the new season will indeed drop at some point in 2025. It's frustrating that it's not an exact release date, but it's confirmation that the long wait between seasons is finally coming to an end next year.
It also told us that the new season is set in the fall of 1987, roughly 18 months on from our last trip to Hawkins, and detailed the episode titles for "Stranger Things" season 5 (which we've listed later in this article).
Later in the day, Netflix then dropped some "Stranger Things" season 5 set photos. Check them out below:

The new shots don't give much away, being just a photo of our core four together for their final chapter, plus snaps of Steve, Nancy, Dustin and Jonathan looking all smiles in Steve's car, plus a snap of Joyce and Jim messing around and a moody still of WSQK radio station.
While I'm sure fans are already hard at work theorizing about what's in the frame here, I can't help but think that the biggest thing occupying fans' minds for the foreseeable will instead be those cryptic episode titles, especially that redacted one.
What are the "Stranger Things" season 5 episode titles?
Don't want to scrub through the clip? We've listed the eight "Stranger Things" season 5 episode titles below, for ease:
- Episode 1 -"The Crawl"
- Episode 2 - "The Vanishing Of..." [This title was left incomplete in the clip]
- Episode 3 -"The Turnbow Trap"
- Episode 4 - "Sorcerer"
- Episode 5 - "Shock Jock"
- Episode 6 - "Escape from Camazotz"
- Episode 7 - "The Bridge"
- Episode 8 - "The Rightside Up"
Again, a list of episode names isn't quite as exciting as, say, an actual trailer might have been. However, I'd wager there's still enough there to start digging deep into the lore and doing some serious theorycrafting.
As I'm sure everyone else is doing, I've immediately started looking for any potential clues as to what the gang might face this time around. What could Camazotz be? Who (or what) has vanished?
It's only a list of episode titles, but it's still enough to keep me occupied during the wait for another "Stranger Things" update from one of the best streaming services on the market.
"Stranger Things" season 5 airs sometime in 2025. Looking for something else to stream while you wait for the show to return? Be sure to check out our full rundown of the best Netflix shows for tons of streaming recommendations.
