In the tradition of most of its previous seasons, fans have been waiting several years for Stranger Things Season 5 to drop. The production of the new season faced several delays, but things eventually got back on track. Now a new rumor suggests that this year’s release of Stranger Things Season 5 could be split into two parts.
This is a release model that Netflix has used in the past. In fact, it’s exactly how they released the fourth season on the streaming platform in 2022. The majority of the season’s episodes were released on May 27, 2022 with the final two episodes released a little over a month later on July 1, 2022.
It’s a tactic that certainly kept viewers engaged rather than allowing them to finish the season as quickly as possible. Additionally, many other streaming shows – especially major productions akin to Stranger Things – have used similar release strategies. Now, while it’s unconfirmed, What’s on Netflix suggests that the fifth season could be released in a similar fashion.
Ultimately, it’s difficult to determine when said parts for Stranger Things Season 5 could drop, especially without any exact release dates given. The outlet does note November 27 as a possible release date being theorized by fans, with the two parts potentially being released in both October and November. Of course, all of that should be taken with a grain of salt.
Fans have been waiting nearly three years now for Stranger Things Season 5 to be released, so with the release coming earlier this year, it shouldn’t be too long before Netflix announces their plans. This will confirm for us whether or not the fifth season will drop in two parts and when we can expect to see it.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Stranger Things Season 5 as we have them. Though an official release date has yet to be confirmed, much less if the season will be split into two parts, it would certainly make sense for Netflix to do so when Stranger Things Season 5 drops on the streaming service later this year.
