Yes, there is one more Stranger Things–related release coming, but not a new in‑story episode of the show itself. The main series ended with the Season 5 finale that dropped on December 31, 2025, on Netflix.

What’s officially coming next

  • Netflix has announced a behind‑the‑scenes documentary called “Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5.”
    It’s described as a “final chapter” look at how the last season was created, with cast and crew reflecting on the end of the series.
  • The documentary is scheduled to premiere on January 12, 2026 on Netflix, giving fans one last official piece of Stranger Things content, but it is non‑fiction, not a narrative episode continuing the story.

Secret “extra episode” rumors

  • Fans online have been buzzing about a possible “secret episode” tied to the fan theory nicknamed “Conformity Gate,” with some expecting a surprise drop around January 7, 2026.
  • As of now, this is speculation only : Netflix has not confirmed any additional scripted Stranger Things episode beyond the eight episodes of Season 5 and the making‑of documentary.

So, is there another episode?

  • Confirmed:
    • Season 5 is complete with its finale already released.
    • A making‑of documentary special on January 12, 2026 is on the way.
  • Not confirmed:
    • Any new scripted Stranger Things episode or a “hidden” Episode 9; that remains a fan theory unless Netflix makes an official announcement.
