The world premiere of the first episode of Stranger Things 5 was held in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The final season will arrive in three drops: Volume 1 on November 26 with four episodes, Volume 2 on Christmas Day with three, and the finale on New Year’s Eve.
Millie Bobby Brown, 21, owned the red carpet, wearing a sheer brown Rodarte gown with black feathers before changing into a red corset mini dress for the after-party. She attended with her husband Jake Bongiovi, whom she married in May 2024.
Brown’s headline moment came on the carpet itself, where she told Entertainment Tonight that co-star Noah Schnapp is her baby daughter’s godfather. Brown adopted a baby girl with Bongiovi in August 2025 and has kept the child’s identity private, making the reveal a rare personal detail from the young star.
Brown and David Harbour arrived together, laughing and hugging — amid unconfirmed Daily Mail claims that she had filed a harassment and bullying complaint against him before the final season’s shoot. Executive producer Shawn Levy dismissed the rumors as inaccurate, and neither actor’s camp has confirmed anything.
With the premiere behind them and the release calendar set, the Stranger Things 5 premiere marked the beginning of the end for one of Netflix’s defining series. The Hawkins farewell tour starts November 26.
