Devotees have had to wait since 2022, when the gripping fourth season of the show came to an end, to catch up with the residents of 1980s Hawkins, Indiana.

Now, after being teased with the first five minutes of Season Five, fans will finally get to see what becomes of the survivors after the showdown with the evil Vecna.

The fifth and concluding series of Stranger Things is scheduled for a three-part launch, with the first four episodes arriving on screens on Thursday, November 27, at 1am.

Audiences will then have to wait until Boxing Day to see the next three episodes, and then the final episode will be screened on New Year's Day.

Any fans who can't wait until Thursday, let alone until the show is concluded on January 1 2026, may want to look back at some of their favourite episodes and data can help.
