“Stranger Things 5” is still months away, but it’s already breaking records for Netflix.
The release date announcement video, which was originally released on May 31, has generated 250 million impressions across all Netflix channels in just four days of availability. Per Netflix, that is more impressions than any similar announcement in the same timeframe in the history of the platform. The video can be seen below.
The date reveal was made at Netflix’s annual Tudum event, which was held live at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. As previously reported, the fifth and final season of the megahit series will debut in three parts: the first four episodes will drop on Nov. 26; the next three will drop on Dec. 25; and the final episode will premiere on Dec. 31.
The official synopsis for Season 5 states:
“The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”
The cast for the final season includes: Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), Priah Ferguson (Erica Sinclair), Brett Gelman (Murray), Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna), Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler), Amybeth McNulty (Vickie), Nell Fisher (Holly Wheeler), Jake Connelly (Derek Turnbow), Alex Breaux (Lt. Akers), and Linda Hamilton (Dr. Kay).
“Stranger Things” was created by the Duffer Brothers, who serve as executive producers via Upside Down Pictures. Shawn Levy of 21 Laps Entertainment also executive produces along with Dan Cohen.
