Stranger Things Season 5 Episode Titles Have Been Revealed (& A Major Fan Theory Has Been Squashed)
Fans can now find out the episode titles for Stranger Things season 5, along with an exciting reveal about the new episodes of the hit Netflix show.
The official Instagram account of the hit Netflix series shared a set of BTS pictures from the sets of Season 5 and made fans wonder how the story will move forward in the remaining episodes. The first picture showed Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) sitting inside the canteen of their school in Hawkins. Meanwhile, another image revealed Dustin, Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) sharing a laugh while sitting inside a car. It was the final photo, however, that made fans go berserk. The final picture saw Jim Hopper (David Harbour) having a fun moment with none other than Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) while sitting on a bed. This particular picture made fans believe that Joyce and Jim might end up being together in the final season.
The above-mentioned BTS pictures came a few hours after Netflix unveiled the episode titles for the fifth and final edition of Stranger Things. Alongside revealing the episode titles, the teaser also confirms that Season 5 will be set in the fall of 1987, with all eight episodes premiering on Netflix in 2025. Interestingly, the second episode title, “The Vanishing of ______,” conceals a key name, leaving fans guessing about who might be missing in the upcoming season. Here are the titles of all the episodes for Season 5: “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of ______,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.”
Apart from Episode 2, the title for the fourth episode, “Sorcerer,” stands out as especially intriguing. This title may hint at connections to the show’s rich Dungeons & Dragons lore, sparking fan theories that Will could secretly possess supernatural abilities, making his “Will the Wise” persona more than just a game character. Yet, the title drawing the most attention is Episode 8, “The Rightside Up.” This clear twist on “The Upside Down”—the title of the Season 1 finale—implies a positive conclusion where life may finally return to normal for the characters of Stranger Things. Even though fans would have to wait a little longer for Season 5 to arrive, the revelation of titles and the new BTS photos might be enough to make fans talk about the show’s conclusion. Of course, they would want to see a happy ending, but things might go haywire in the final edition.
Stranger Things season 5 will premiere in 2020. All four seasons of the show are available to stream on Netflix.
