    On Wednesday, in honor of Stranger Things Day—usually celebrated on November 6, the day that Will Byers, played by Noah Schnapp, disappeared from Hawkins, Indiana—Netflix released a new teaser for season 5. The teaser revealed a number of intriguing confirmations.

    The highly acclaimed streaming series will conclude with its final season in 2025. Fans may rest easy knowing that the remaining episodes will air the following year.

    We will now begin Season 5 in the fall of 1987. Season 4’s events began in March 1986. Will (Noah Schnapp), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), and Hopper (David Harbour) were last seen standing in a field.

    It seems like some of the episode titles bring new ideas to the Stranger Things world. Series co-creator Ross Duffer shared an Upside Down-inspired poster for a local Hawkins business earlier this year, suggesting that the Turnbow Trap is a reference to them.

    According to Duffer’s Instagram teasers, Shock Jock alludes to WSQK, a radio station that will be featured in the season.
