From You To Stranger Things: 8 Web-Series That Ended in 2025

If 2025 felt like a year of emotional farewells on streaming platforms, that’s because it was. Several of the past decade’s most influential web series wrapped up their journeys, closing chapters that shaped pop culture, binge-watching habits and online fandoms. From psychological thrillers to genre-defining sci-fi, these finales marked the end of an era.

Web-Series That Ended in 2025

Below are nine web series that officially ended in 2025, leaving behind devoted audiences and lasting legacies.

You (Netflix)

Penn Badgley’s chilling turn as Joe Goldberg finally reached its end in 2025. What began as a twisted character study evolved into a dark satire on obsession, identity and self-delusion. The final season leaned fully into consequences, delivering a divisive but unforgettable conclusion that refused to romanticise its anti-hero any longer.

Stranger Things (Netflix)

Few shows defined the streaming age quite like ‘Stranger Things’. Blending ’80s nostalgia with horror, friendship and blockbuster spectacle, the series closed its story in 2025 after nearly a decade. Eleven’s journey, and Hawkins’ reckoning with the Upside Down, ended with a finale that felt suitably epic and deeply emotional.

The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu)

After six harrowing seasons, the dystopian drama concluded with quiet fury rather than easy catharsis. Elisabeth Moss’s June Osborne remained as complex and defiant as ever, with the final episodes underscoring that resistance is rarely neat or complete.

Squid Game (Netflix)

The global phenomenon that changed how the world viewed non-English language television came to a close in 2025. The final chapters shifted focus from survival to systemic rebellion, bringing its brutal social commentary full circle.

Cobra Kai (Netflix)

What could have been nostalgia bait became one of streaming’s most heartfelt success stories. ‘Cobra Kai’ ended after six seasons, staying true to its themes of redemption, rivalry and second chances, with just enough cheesy charm intact.

Poker Face (Peacock)

Natasha Lyonne’s lie-detecting drifter wrapped up her road-trip mystery saga in 2025. With its case-of-the-week structure and retro flair, ‘Poker Face’ stood out as a rare modern procedural that prioritised character over spectacle.

The Sandman (Netflix)

Visually ambitious and philosophically rich, ‘The Sandman’ concluded its surreal journey through dreams, nightmares and mythology. Tom Sturridge’s Dream left behind one of Netflix’s boldest fantasy adaptations.

The Umbrella Academy (Netflix)

The dysfunctional superhero family finally closed its chaotic timeline in 2025. True to form, the finale balanced emotional reckoning with offbeat humour and cosmic absurdity.
