After the series finale of the Netflix megahit, fans have been spiraling over a viral online theory that the flagship series may not be finished. But the Duffers have already confirmed: "This is finite.

The Duffer Brothers' new shows The Boroughs and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen are coming to Netflix in 2026.

Netflix users spent 325.6 million hours watching season five last week — not counting those who went to movie theaters to watch the final episode on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. The finale made an estimated $20 million to $25 million in revenue for theater chains over those two days.

Stranger Things' Season 5 has joined Netflix's list of its most popular English-language TV titles of all time in ninth place.

Until the Stranger Things spinoff and animated series come to Netflix, fans can still enjoy the universe with the Stranger Things: The First Shadow play. The stage show — which was written by Kate Refry from an original story by the Duffer Brothers and Jack Thorne — has been running on Broadway since April 2025.
