Stranger Things 5 Teaser Drops with Episode Titles and Major Mystery

Stranger Things fans were in for a treat on Stranger Things Day 2024, as Netflix finally unveiled key details for the much-anticipated fifth and final season of the hit show.

Early Wednesday morning, Netflix released a teaser for Stranger Things 5, not only confirming a 2025 release but also revealing the titles of all eight episodes. One of the biggest surprises? A major callback to the very first episode, with a mysterious twist that has everyone talking.

Here’s the complete list of Stranger Things 5 episode titles:

1. “The Crawl”
2. “The Vanishing of [Redacted]”
3. “The Turnbow Trap”
4. “Sorcerer”
5. “Shock Jock”
6. “Escape From Camazotz”
7. “The Bridge”
8. “The Rightside Up”

The second episode, titled “The Vanishing of [Redacted],” is already sparking serious buzz among fans. Netflix kept a crucial part of this title hidden, blurring out the name of the character who will disappear. This title is a direct nod to the pilot episode, “The Vanishing of Will Byers,” which set off the entire series by showing Will’s mysterious disappearance into the Upside Down. Could another beloved character be facing a similar fate?

The finale title, “The Rightside Up,” is another standout. Given that the Upside Down has been the central force of horror in the series—home to everything from Demogorgons to Vecna—this hopeful-sounding title hints at a possible resolution. Could it mean that the heroes of Hawkins finally defeat Vecna and restore normalcy? Or is there another twist waiting in the wings?

Fans know that Stranger Things has a knack for surprising its audience, so while “The Rightside Up” sounds like it could end on a victorious note, nothing is guaranteed. With the stakes higher than ever and the fate of Hawkins in the balance, the final season promises to be as suspenseful and gripping as ever.
