The popular sci-fi horror series Stranger Things is back this Friday(December 26,2025) with three new episodes from its fifth and final season, leading up to the big finale on January 1, 2026.
Since it first premiered in 2016, the Netflix show has been breaking streaming records, following a group of teens in a small American town as they battle supernatural beings and explore a parallel universe.
The series has also launched the careers of its younger stars, including Millie Bobby Brown, who became famous at just 12.
Now at 21, she produces and stars in her own hit films, like the Enola Holmes series.
Finn Wolfhard, 23, who plays Mike Wheeler, has also gained wider recognition with roles in the It and Ghostbusters franchises.
The Duffer Brothers, the creators of this beloved series, have captured the essence of 1980s classics like Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the Nightmare on Elm Street films, and Stephen King’s It novel.
Over five seasons, the characters battle supernatural creatures while rocking baggy jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers.
From Will Byers’s bowl cut to Steve Harrington’s messy mullet, the show has revitalized classic hairstyles.
Kate Bush’s 1985 hit ‘Running Up That Hill’, featured in the series, also topped the UK charts in 2022 and hit one billion streams on Spotify the next year- decades after it first came out.
Nine years in, Stranger Things has turned into a worldwide sensation.
As one of Netflix’s most-watched shows, it has helped transform the streaming service into a cultural juggernaut.
Each episode comes with a budget of tens of millions of dollars, outpacing the production costs of many Hollywood films.
The success of its fifth season, which racked up nearly 60 million views at launch, is evident in its visibility in public spaces.
The show has made its way to stages in London’s West End and Broadway with the play Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which debuted in late 2023.
The prequel, set in 1959, dives into the backstory of Henry Creel, also known as the villain Vecna in the series.
Netflix has announced an animated spin-off series set between the second and third seasons, slated for 2026.
A mystery novel focused on Mike’s older sister, Nancy Wheeler, has also just been released.
