On November 6, also known as Stranger Things Day, Netflix gave fans a glimpse into the fifth and final season of the beloved series. A newly released teaser trailer showcased the titles of all eight episodes, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation about what’s to come. As anticipation builds, filming for this final chapter is still underway in Georgia, with production expected to wrap by January 2025.
Episode Titles Tease an Epic Finale
The trailer reveals all eight episode titles for Season 5, sparking a wave of theories and excitement as fans try to decode their meanings. Here are the episode titles Netflix has shared:
- “The Crawl”
- “The Vanishing of [REDACTED]”
- “The Turnbow Trap”
- “Sorcerer”
- “Shock Jock”
- “Escape from Camazotz”
- “The Bridge”
- “The Rightside Up”
From “The Crawl” to “The Rightside Up,” these titles hint at a season that will dive deeper than ever into the mythology of the Upside Down, as the Hawkins gang faces their biggest challenge yet in the fight against Vecna. Show creators the Duffer Brothers have shared that this season will feel like “Season 1 on steroids,” bringing back a sense of closeness among the characters and focusing on Hawkins, Indiana, as the setting.
A Landmark Production Nears Completion
Since its beginning, Stranger Things has filmed in Georgia, using the state’s diverse landscapes to bring the fictional town of Hawkins to life. For the final season, Georgia has once again provided the perfect backdrop for the show’s unique mix of supernatural mystery and small-town nostalgia. Stranger Things has filmed across the state from filming locations in Rome, Georgia to Jackson, Georgia. “Hawkins Lab” continues to attract fans to the Emory Briarcliff location where they frequently visit for pictures (even though it’s technically trespassing).
Currently, the production is nearing its end, with filming set to conclude in January 2025. This chapter will mark the end of an era, both for the Stranger Things cast and crew and for Georgia’s contribution to the series’ worldwide success.
A Cinematic Final Season
The final eight episodes promise to deliver a truly cinematic experience. Cast member Maya Hawke, who plays Robin Buckley, previously hinted that each episode would feel like “a movie,” with episode lengths expected to exceed two hours each. Fans can look forward to an epic conclusion to the series, with Georgia playing a central role in bringing the massive scale and intensity of Season 5 to life.
As the trailer stirs excitement and speculation, Stranger Things fans now await the next big release—the season itself, slated to premiere in mid to late 2025. With filming in Georgia nearly complete, this final journey with the Hawkins gang is set to bring the story full circle, giving longtime fans a thrilling, emotional farewell.
