It’s doubtful they’ll release episodes on a weekly basis for season five.
With Stranger Things season four breaking Netflix premiere viewership records less than two weeks after its release, the excitement for season five, or Volume 2, continues to grow.

Some are wondering if Netflix will alter its release pattern for Stranger Things following the series’ massive success. According to Variety’s Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s head of scripted series in the United States and Canada, there are currently no intentions to change the Duffer Brothers’ program to a weekly release. He said, “For the fans of Stranger Things, this is how they’ve been watching that show, and I think to change that on them would be disappointing…To not not give them exactly what they’ve been expecting — which is Stranger Things is a seasonal experience, they go through that with them — I think that it would be an abrupt change for the member.”
Friedlander did confirm that the binge model will continue to be Netflix’s path of choice for scripted series, “We fundamentally believe that we want to give our members the choice in how they view. And so giving them that option on these scripted series to watch as much as they want to watch when they watch it, is still fundamental to what we want to provide.”
The new season of Stranger Things will premiere on Netflix on July 1.
