The fifth season of MyStreet, fully titled as MyStreet: Starlight[1], was announced on May 11th, 2017, alongside a five-part documentary called Aphmau's Year, following the finale of the fourth season.[2]
The season premiered on June 10th, following the finale of the five-part Aphmau series, documenting a year after the events of MyStreet: Emerald Secret.
Just like Seasons 1, 2, and 3, Starlight is more cheerful and everyday-style with more relationship building between characters and little drama, however when there is drama, it is usually very serious and involves the tragedy at the lodge during Season 4 that the main characters are recovering from. The drama also mention Aphmau and Aaron's relationship being complicated due to their species and the secret behind characters' families, as well as their fathers' Montague and Capulet-like relationship. Then, during the last three episodes, the series becomes a lot more serious as each episode acts as a prologue to the tragic drama of Season 6.
According to Jason, Season 5 is only a "build-up season" for Season 6 by gradually adding plot elements to the usual everyday, character development episodes.
