Millie Bobby Brown Reveals ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Still Has 9 Months of Filming Ahead!

Since its premiere in 2016, Netflix’s “Stranger Things” has captured audiences worldwide with its evocative 1980s backdrop, riveting storyline, and appealing characters. With Season 4 left fans on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next chapter, the latest word on Season 5’s release date has arrived, courtesy of none other than Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the beloved Eleven.

Brown, who recently appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show to promote her Netflix film “Damsel,” couldn’t resist teasing the eagerly awaited fifth season. While avoiding spoilers, Brown revealed important insights about the filming process and her character’s journey.

Brown estimates that Season 5 will take around nine months to film. Furthermore, she revealed that she has discussed her character’s arc with the Duffer Brothers, the creators of “Stranger Things,” and has already read scripts for six of the season’s eight episodes.

Based on this information, filming for “Stranger Things” Season 5 is expected to wrap in November-December 2024. Fans will have to be patient as the show moves into post-production, which can last anywhere from a few months to a year.

Given these circumstances, Season 5 is likely to be released in late 2025. Given the series’ habit of releasing new seasons around Halloween, a spooky-themed introduction at that time seems appropriate. However, Netflix is unlikely to divulge any specifics until filming is completed, as unforeseen set delays may affect the anticipated release date.

Before the SAG-AFTRA strike, series lead Finn Wolfhard hinted at a possible early 2025 release date, but strike-related delays may have stretched the timeframe even further. Fans should brace themselves for a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere of “Stranger Things” Season 5.

Fans should take comfort in Millie Bobby Brown’s confirmation that Season 5 is well underway and promises to be another fascinating chapter in the “Stranger Things” saga. Watch for more updates as the countdown to the Upside Down’s reappearance begins.
