Stranger Things Season 5, Part 2: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
This was just the first round, folks.
Talk about a Thanksgiving binge. As Americans celebrated Thanksgiving (and the rest of the world went about their day as usual), Stranger Things released the first batch of episodes of its fifth and final season. With Hawkins under quarantine and the Upside Down patrolled by the U.S. military, the “Hellfire Club” reunites to find and locate Vecna and end his reign of terror once and for all.
The first four episodes of Stranger Things season 5 set the tone for the blockbuster finale yet to come. The stakes are high. Friendships are tested—Dustin and Steve’s most of all—as everyone races to rescue Holly Wheeler, now played by Nell Fisher (replacing the Price twins who played her in the first four seasons). All the while, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) stays on the lam, working to fine-tune her powers before her final confrontation with Vecna.
Whether you’ve finished all of Volume 1 or just need assurance when you can check out Volume 2 as you start your binge, here’s when you can finally watch Volume 2 of Stranger Things season 5.
