BREAKING: There were rumors all weekend that Netflix had secret “Stranger Things” content dropping next week, presumably a surprise episode. Truth be told, it’s a full-blown making-of documentary that takes fans behind the scenes of the final season.

Netflix has set the premiere date and released a trailer for “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5”, set for release on January 12, 2026.

Directed by Martina Radwan, it will provide, “An inside look at the years of effort and craft that went into the final installment of the Duffer Brothers‘ generation-defining series.”

Variety first reported the news and shares the trailer that ends with Ross Duffer, on the final day of filming, saying, “And that is a wrap on ‘Stranger Things,’” as confetti falls from the ceiling.

In a statement accompanying the announcement, the Duffer brothers said: Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers — but Hollywood felt impossibly far away. Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ — on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made. We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream. With the decline of physical media, that kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling has largely disappeared. We wanted to bring it back. ‘One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5’ — beautifully captured and directed by Martina Radwan — is our attempt to do just that. If you love ‘Stranger Things,’ or if you’re simply curious how a major Hollywood production comes to life, this one’s for you.”
