“Stranger Things” Season 5 New Teaser Is Finally Here
The Upside Down is calling one last time. Netflix has officially released the teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things.”
Thus, they have given the fans a high-octane glimpse into what’s shaping up to be the dramatic end. Laden with visual spectacle, emotional intensity, and a view into the ensemble cast in high-stakes moments, the trailer offers plenty of atmosphere. Meanwhile, keeping key plot details tightly under wraps.
What’s Going to Come
The highly anticipated season will roll out in three parts. Each one is timed to land on major holiday weekends. “Volume 1” debuts on November 26, followed by “Volume 2” on Christmas Day. Hence, the final installment, simply titled “The Finale,” will drop on New Year’s Eve. All episodes will premiere at 5 p.m. PT.
Set in the fall of 1987, the final season picks up in the wake of Hawkins being torn open by the Rifts. According to the official synopsis, “our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna.” Yet, the Vecna’s whereabouts are unknown. Additionally, the town is now under strict military quarantine, and the stakes have never been higher.
Thus, Eleven is once again forced into hiding. Meanwhile, the shadow of Will’s original disappearance looms large as its anniversary approaches. With darkness gathering, the group must reunite into the full party. All for one last stand.
“This is our biggest and most ambitious season yet,” said co-creator Ross Duffer earlier this year. “We spent a full year filming and ended up with over 650 hours of footage. It’s like eight blockbuster movies packed into one season.”
Matt Duffer echoed those sentiments, adding, “It’s also our most personal. Filming it was incredibly emotional for us and the cast — a decade of working together came to a head. There was so much crying. Everyone poured their heart into it, and we hope that comes through.”
“Stranger Things” New Season and More Details To Come
Thus, back in November, Netflix teased the season’s story arc with a list of episode titles. Among them are “The Crawl” and “The Vanishing of [censored for now].” Following them are “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” and “Escape From Camazotz.” Lastly, there are “The Bridge” and “The Rightside Up.”
While Season 5 marks the end of this chapter, it’s far from the end of the “Stranger Things” universe. The Duffer brothers have hinted at spin-offs and future stories already in the works.
“There are more Stranger Things stories to tell,” Matt Duffer said. “We’re deeply involved in all of them — it has to feel fresh and have a reason to exist. And most of all, it needs to be awesome.”
The beloved cast of “Stranger Things” is returning for the final season. All of the fan favorites are there: Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, etc.
As the countdown begins, one thing is clear: “Stranger Things” is gearing up to go out with a bang. Leaving a few tears behind.
