A story set in the 80s, young children witnessing supernatural events, a red N at the launch, no doubt, we are indeed talking about Stranger Things, the Netflix event series. Started in 2016, it will begin its conclusion nine years later. While waiting for the release of the first episodes, the streaming platform is whetting our appetite by revealing the first 5 minutes.

The conclusion of a phenomenon

The Stranger Things adventure began in July 2016 on Netflix. Created by twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, it features four young children living in Hawkins, a small fictional town in Indiana. It all begins in 1983 when one of them, Will (Noah Schnapp), disappears, abducted by a supernatural creature. His friends Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Justin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Mike (Finn Wolfhard) set out to find him, involving Joyce (Winona Ryder), Will's mother, and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), the missing boy's brother. Given the magnitude of the task, Police Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) joins the search. In their quest, Will's friends encounter Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) along the way.

This stranger is special as she possesses telekinesis and telepathy powers. A valuable ally to fight the Demogorgon, the creature in question. We won't say more to avoid spoiling the surprise for those who haven't started the series yet or are missing a few episodes to watch. For those who need it, note that official recaps can be found on Netflix's YouTube channel. Here are the direct links: Recap Season 1 (in French) | Recap Season 2 (in French) | Recap Season 3 (in French) | Recap Season 4.

A true critical success, the series has been widely watched. This led Netflix to renew it, with a second season that emerged the following year. Then, the release schedule stretched out. Season 3 was not aired in 2028 but rather in mid-2019. With the 2020 epidemic, the schedule was once again disrupted, causing fans to wait until 2022 to follow the continuation of the adventures in Season 4. For the finale, patience is required...

Indeed, it is only three years after the airing of S4 that the conclusion of Stranger Things can be discovered. More precisely, Season 5 will be released in three phases. The first episodes will be available from November 27, 2025. The following ones will arrive just after Christmas, on December 26, and the last ones will be online for the new year, on January 1, 2026. While waiting to finally know the conclusion, Netflix invites the most eager to bide their time by watching the first five minutes of the new season. Beware, we warn you: only start watching if you are up to date with the story.

The anomaly affects the Fulllife Universe

We mentioned it a few days ago in our columns, the phenomenon is so significant that it has affected the Fulllife Universe. The Specialists have confirmed the anomaly. Events were brewing. The path between worlds has thinned and a brand new collection has just emerged. For the last trip to Hawkins, new clothing and accessories have arrived. Delivered by the world-renowned capsule system, these will delight all Stranger Things fans during the holiday season... And even before. Fall for the Demogorgon jacket, put on the Upside Down Christmas sweater, taste freedom with the Hellfire Club skateboard or opt for socks, a hat, a sweater, and a scarf to keep warm for the cold winter evenings. Explore, treat yourself, or select the ideal gift for a close fan of the series. There's no shortage of choice!

Moreover, if you want to experience a unique ephemeral adventure, you can head to Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées in Paris. You will discover a Christmas market that propels you directly into the Upside Down. You will leave 2025 at the entrance and find yourself in the 80s after passing through the entrance tunnel. Once you have crossed the transdimensional portal, you will discover a Christmas tree like no other. It is the central point of the atrium, which also hosts stands reminiscent of Hawkins' shops. To keep an unforgettable memory of this experience, you can also join the crew of the Hawkins radio station to customize your WSQK radio. Available by appointment only, this workshop allows you to leave with a limited edition Bluetooth speaker.
