Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures began airing on CBBC on 3 October 2011.
On 4 March 2010, the BBC announced that it had officially commissioned both a 4th and 5th series of the spin-off.[1] Part of the series was planned to film in 2010 alongside Series 4[2] and it was later announced that half the series had been completed as planned.[3]
With the death of Elisabeth Sladen in April 2011[4], the BBC announced that no new episodes will be made[5]. Three stories (six episodes) of Series 5 were completed[6], and are presently airing as an abbreviated final season.

- A Sontaran will appear.[8] This was false. Plark turned out to be a different alien altogether. Though an episode featuring them could have been scripted, but never filmed due to the sudden cancellation of production
- Clyde and Rani will get married in The Man Who Never Was episode 2.[9]False, they posed as a married couple while undercover.
