Netflix Drops Stranger Things Season 5 Blooper Reel
The streaming platform released the outtakes video on Stranger Things Day, nearly a year after the series finale.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Television
Netflix released a blooper reel from the fifth and final season of Stranger Things on Stranger Things Day. The release comes nearly a year after the series concluded in December 2025.
Why it matters
The reel gives fans behind-the-scenes footage from the cast's time on set as the long-running series is revisited. It marks the holiday tied to the show's November 6 date, when Will Byers disappeared in 1983.
The series has five seasons, premiering on Netflix in July 2016 and concluding in December 2025. The blooper reel arrived almost a year after the finale, and the extraction does not provide viewership or commercial figures for it.
