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.

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