Episode titles have been revealed, although Episode 2 is only the partial title:

 

Episode 1: “The Crawl”

Episode 2: “The Vanishing of ____”

Episode 3: “The Turnbow Trap”

Episode 4: “Sorcerer”

Episode 5: “Shock Jock”

Episode 6: “Escape From Camazotz”

Episode 7: “The Bridge”

Episode 8: “The Rightside Up”

 

Production began in January 2024 (significantly delayed because of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes). As of October they were almost finished with shooting it. My guess is that it wont be released until Autumn 2025 because of how long post production could take and then the time required to promote it.

 

Season 1’s story began in November 1983, and Season 5 is set in Autumn 1987 - so only 4 years have gone by. In reality the actors are 8 years older (Season 1 was filmed from September 2015 to early 2016).

 

Maya Hawke has said that the episodes will be very long - “basically eight movies”. Although I enjoyed Season 4 very much, it was quite demanding with the episodes lengths - so I’m not super thrilled by this. Kind of wish they’d do more episodes with shorter running times.

 

Regardless, I’m excited to see how this concludes!

Probably right about this! With season 2 of Wednesday being released in August looks like this'll be getting Netflix's big Halloween release slot.

I'm excited for the season now after binging seasons 1-4 a few months ago (and re-watching after forgetting everything that happened in the case of season 1 x). Hoping it delivers a satisfying ending

Netflix's TUDUM happened yesterday and we finally have a teaser trailer and release dates!

Volume 1, 27 November, 1am GMT
Volume 2, 26 December, 1am GMT
The Finale, 1 January, 1am GMT

Oh Christmas will be fun this year!

They really are out here trying to drag this out as much as they possibly can

Ooh I certainly know what I'll be doing on Boxing Day and New Year's Day without fail!

Volume 1 - 4 episodes

Volume 2 - 3 episodes

Final - 1 episode

I'm kind of relieved they're dividing it up, hopefully makes it more digestible than the previous season.

Will certainly take us as long as the breaks are between releases to get through the episodes

also I'm glad there seems to be a lot of focus on Will going by that teaser, it's what we need

Always thought he was the main character despite his absence from some of the series.

Gonna have to rewatch the previous series this autumn!!

The Boxing Day launch for Part II looks to be a future tentpole for Netflix then. Doesn't really bother me too much that theyre splitting it apart, if the eps are gonna be 80-90 minutes long as it is, then that's a lot of watching to be doing. I'd imagine the finale will be 100+ mins.
