Stranger Issues season 5
Netflix
We now have practically arrived on the grand finale of Stranger Issues in season 5, the conclusion to considered one of Netflix’s hottest collection of all time. Effectively, we’ve practically arrived at half of the season, the place the discharge dates for eight episodes are being unfold out over the course of a month.
It’s now not uncommon for Netflix to make its hottest exhibits air chunks of episodes a month aside, normally in halves. This appears partially to drive additional dialog, however extra pressingly, get folks to subscribe to the service for 2 months as an alternative of 1, and presumably make them overlook to cancel altogether now that they will now not binge and delete in a single sitting.
Stranger Issues breaking issues up into three elements in a single month is eye-rolling sufficient, nevertheless it has additionally determined that one of the best time for these episodes to air is on the three holidays that happen over the following month. So we’ve got:
- Stranger Issues season 5 half 1 launch date (4 episodes) – November 26, 2025

Possibly I’m alone on this, however I discover the concept Stranger Issues needs to insert itself into Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New 12 months’s Eve extraordinarily annoying.
No, November 26 isn’t Thanksgiving Day, which is the twenty seventh, however it’s each a journey day for a lot of to get into city, after which clearly the primary evening there, you’d most likely be spending time with household or associates.
Christmas Day is…Christmas Day. Clearly, you’re most likely going to be preoccupied with higher issues to do than sitting down for 3 hours of Stranger Issues throughout probably the most vital vacation of the yr. Not less than that’s how my vacation works.
New 12 months’s Eve, the grand, two-hour finale of Stranger Issues season 5, and your complete collection, is airing at 8 PM ET, making it an integral a part of the night’s plans except you wish to wade by means of spoilers by being anyplace on the web the following 24 hours.
I don’t know, it simply appears exceedingly lame to me to attempt to pressure not only one however three airings into vacation plans if you wish to catch the episodes after they air, moderately than not with the ability to and spoiler dodging. Possibly Netflix genuinely thinks that as a result of folks have break day for the vacations, it’s simpler to look at, however I simply don’t assume that’s how issues work in apply for most individuals, and sliding in actually hours of viewing throughout these days goes to be tougher than not.
As soon as once more, I believe the easiest way Netflix might air a season like that is week-to-week, one thing they’re allergic to doing. That’s the easiest way to generate hype and dialogue, and it could nonetheless have interaction folks for a month. This three-date breakup is terrible, and the dates they’ve chosen are worse. I don’t know after I’ll really get to those, provided that selection.
