Season 5 is set in the fall of 1987, and Netflix has shared most of the episode titles already. One episode, though, still has a mystery title, keeping fans curious. It might be hiding a big secret!
Here are the confirmed titles:

Who’s In the Cast?
Most of the original cast is coming back — so expect to see Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and the rest of the gang. But Season 5 will also bring in some new faces.
Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux are joining the show. Plus, a big name is joining the team: Linda Hamilton, best known from The Terminator movies. At a Netflix event, she shared how excited she is to be part of the show, saying, “I don’t know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time!”
What Will Happen in Season 5?
The creators of the show, the Duffer Brothers, have promised a strong ending. They’ve written a special 25-page document that explains the mysteries of the Upside Down, and Season 5 will finally reveal those secrets.
During Netflix’s Geeked Week in 2022, Ross Duffer said, “We saved some of the biggest answers for Season 5.” So, expect major reveals, emotional moments, and an unforgettable goodbye to Hawkins.
