Calling all Stranger Things fans! If after finishing season 5 you find yourself craving even more details and tidbits from the series, Random House Worlds has you covered. Introducing Stranger Things: The Complete Scripts, Season 5, which gathers together all of the scripts from the final season into one enormous tome, ready to be studied by ardent fans.
As much as everyone loves Stranger Things, the show has taken so much longer than it should have to conclude. It was put on pause thanks to the pandemic, and then myriad strikes took place throughout Hollywood. Before long, the 'kids' had become adults. The longer time passed, the more fan theories hit the internet, and the larger the anticipation became. Sure, we're all loving watching the final season as it airs on Netflix, but when it's over, fans will have the chance to dive deeper into the making of season 5 thanks to this complete and comprehensive book containing all of the scrips.
The official description for the book reads: "Go deeper into the groundbreaking, Emmy-winning series with the complete, authorized scripts ofStranger Things: Season Five, including an exclusive introduction from the Duffer Brothers."
The book contains scenes, dialogue, and character directions for all eight episodes. It comes in at 688 pages, including an introduction by the Duffer Brothers. Given the number of feature-legnth installments in the final season, I thought it'd be a bit bigger. Perhaps there's some ommissions. Perhaps not. But regardless, we're very excited to check it out!
Stranger Things: The Complete Scripts, Season 5 releases on Jul 14, 2026. This installment completes a collection of script books from each season of the show.
While the show might be ending, there's an animated spinoff, Stranger Things: Tales from '85, coming in 2026. In addition, the Upside Down will continue to be explored in numerous tie-in novels and comics. There's already a ton of them out there, many well worth checking out. Some of the most popular novels include Darkness on the Edge of Town and Suspicious Minds. In terms of comics, there's The Other Side, Tales from Hawkins, and many more.
In the meantime, Stranger Things 5 returns for 3 more episodes on December 25, before airing the much-anticipated series finale on January 1, 2026. It's gonna be a big opening to the new year. Will it be worth the wait? If you have any theories, now is your final chance to get them in,
