When does Stranger Things season 5 release on Netflix in the UK? Date and time, confirmed

by

It’s understandable if you’re a bit unsure about when the fifth and final season of Stranger Things is being released on Netflix in the UK, as the release plan has shifted slightly. Many eager fans hoping to watch the first four episodes of season 5 today might be disappointed, as they’re not available just yet.

The initial release date for season 5 was announced as November 26, 2025, and that date is still correct – it just varies depending on your location. Here’s what’s happening:

UK Netflix viewers are used to new shows being released at 8am, but the latest season of Stranger Things will premiere in the evening instead.

What to Read Next

Season 5 of Stranger Things starts November 26th at 5pm Pacific Time (8pm Eastern Time) in the US. For viewers in the UK, that means the new season will be available at 1am on Thursday, November 27th. Whether you stay up to watch it right away is up to you – we won’t judge if you don’t!

This new approach also affects how the next volume and final episode will be released, since the fifth season of Stranger Things will be split into three parts. To help you plan accordingly, here’s a quick explanation of the release schedule.

Stranger Things season 5 release schedule in the UK: the exact dates and times

As mentioned earlier, the first part (containing four episodes) will be released on Netflix UK on November 27th at 1:00 AM GMT.

The full schedule is:

Volume 1
 – 27 November, 2025

Volume 2
 – 26 December, 2025

The Finale
– 1 January, 2026

Fans can look forward to new episodes of Stranger Things this holiday season! While some will be able to start watching on Christmas Day, viewers in the UK will have to wait until Boxing Day for the rest of the season to be released.

Everyone’s wondering what’s next for Eleven, Dustin, and the rest of the group, and the internet is full of wild theories – especially about what might happen to Steve.

In a recent interview with Digital Spy, the creators of the show, the Duffer Brothers, explained that a popular fan theory about Will’s experiences in the Upside Down – hinted at in a preview of the upcoming fifth season – is incorrect.

Let’s be honest – if we want to understand everything that’s happening in Hawkins, we need to watch. Luckily, we now know when it will air, so you can mark your calendars!

Stranger Things season 5 is coming to Netflix.

I’m so excited – the latest issue of Living Legends is out! You can grab Ariana & Witches at all good newsagents or order it online for only £8.99. I can’t wait to read it!
