Unfortunately, the production for Stranger Things Season 5 hasn't started yet so that means the series is not coming out this month or even in the following months.

The earliest possible release of Stranger Things Season 5 would probably be in later 2023 or early 2024, considering the length of time that the creators of the show would have to take in with the filming and the post-production of the series.

The renewal was confirmed in a statement alongside the release date of Stranger Things Season 4, in which the show's creators, the Duffer brothers, said: "Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things."

The Duffer Brothers added, "At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but — as you’ll soon see for yourselves — we are now hurtling towards our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last."

The release date of Stranger Things Season 5 would depend on when filming will begin. Filming on Season 4 wrapped in August/September 2021, and the first volume was released 9 months later.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production for Season 4 was significantly delayed. It was previously rumored to be released in January 2021, but was pushed back to May 2022, with the final two episodes releasing on July 1.

Netflix and the Duffer brothers will likely share an update about the final season's production status within a few months after Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2 comes out, and we can make a prediction based on that.

The good news is that the creators of the show already know how the series will end, so the writing process shouldn't take long. However, with filming and editing, especially with the huge amount of special effects expected for Season 5, it's likely that fans might not see Season 5 until late 2023 at the earliest. Hopefully, there won't be any delays this time.

Just a few days after Season 4 Vol. 2 premiered, Ross Duffer revealed when they will start writing Season 5. “We're going to take a little vacation in July,” Ross Duffer told Steve Weintraub of Collider, “And then we're going to come back. I know that the writer's room is going to start in that first week of August.”

Stranger Things Seasons 1 through 4 are all available to stream on Netflix!
