Just when you thought it was safe to go online again, a Netflix hacker has claimed episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 will be leaked very soon. The news arrives after Netflix suffered a major data breach , which saw segments of upcoming anime including Terminator Zero, Dandadan, and Mappa’s remake of Ranma 1/2 illegally shared online. The clips, which are of poor quality and not released as intended, were followed by leaks of other shows including the much-anticipated Arcane Season 2 and Heartstopper Season 3 .
Then, at the tail end of last week, a rumor surfaced that the hacker’s next target would be Stranger Things Season 5 . As the final chapter of Netflix’s biggest title and the fact the release date isn’t set until 2025, these claims seemed pretty far-fetched. Netflix just had a big leak, I heard from people that the first 3 unfinished episodes might release later.
Take it with a grain of salt we’ll see it ourself. #StrangerThings5 #StrangerThings #Netflix pic.twitter.

They explained in a post that while Stranger Things “wasn’t part of the website that got hacked,” they spoke with a hacker who showed them clips from Season 5 Episode 1. “He said he’ll send me the leaked episodes on Wednesday.
Should I post them even though I’ll probably get sued by Netflix?” they wrote. As was the case with last we.
