'Stranger Things' season 5 release schedule
The wait is on for "Stranger Things" season 5 to come to Netflix.
Three years on from our last visit to Hawkins, the streaming service's hit sci-fi/horror drama is finally returning in just a few months (we got "Stranger Things" season 5 release dates back in June, if you missed them).
Everything we've seen and heard about the Duffer Brothers' final chapter has set the stage for an epic battle between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and co. against their terrifying foe, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower).
