'Stranger Things' Gets Official New Release Next Month
It’s no secret that Netflix has had a huge year in 2026, and one of the first massive projects to emerge from the shadows for the streamer was War Machine. The sci-fi epic stars Reacher veteran Alan Ritchson, and after earning over 125 million views during its first month on streaming, Netflix has already announced that a sequel to the film is officially in the early stages of development. This demand for more sci-fi content coming from Netflix subscribers started with the finale season of Stranger Things — Season 5 began airing last November, and it concluded over three parts, with the final episode arriving on Netflix and in theaters on New Year’s Day. It didn’t take long for Stranger Things to come back and assert its dominance over Netflix streaming charts, though, with the first animated spin-off, Tales From ‘85.
Netflix has already renewed Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85 for Season 2, and also confirmed that the next batch of episodes is coming before the end of this year. Stranger Things fans don’t have to wait that long for more content out of the franchise, though. A new listing on the Stranger Things Books website confirmed that the complete set of scripts for Season 5 are coming out next month, on July 14. The listing says this new release will let fans “go deeper into Stranger Things with the complete, authorized scripts of Stranger Things: Season Five, including an exclusive introduction from the Duffer brothers.” The script book is also available for pre-order on the Stranger Things Book website, as well as other large retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Netflix is working on another Stranger Things spin-off, which the Duffer brothers confirmed not long after the flagship show went off the air for good. However, while fans would like to see more content from the core group of kids they’ve grown attached to, the creators of the Netflix sci-fi show have revealed that the offshoot will tell a new story with new characters, completely unrelated to any members of Hawkins introduced in Stranger Things. The only things fans will recognize in the new Stranger Things show is the mysterious rock a young Henry Creel found in the cave that gave him his powers.
