""I think what's unique about this season is that it starts a little bit in chaos because our heroes ultimately lost at the end of Season 4," series co-creator Ross Duffer said in a statement. "We usually set up their normal life and how they're going about school, and then we introduce the supernatural element. But in this case, this season is sprinting from the start.""
"Throughout the trailer, we see that chaos as our ragtag group of heroes faces off against the Upside Down one last time: Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) flies up over a metal fence, Nancy (Natalia Dyer) shoots a gun, Hopper (David Harbour) cocks a bazooka, Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) holds Max (Sadie Sink) in his arms. In fact, it all looks rather promising for the crew as they battle the demon freaks spit out by the Upside Down."
"Until, of course, the Upside Down comes back for Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), who kick-started the entire series by falling into the Upside Down. Vecna levitates Will by his neck as he stalks toward him. "Help me," he commands. "One last time." Will, in response, contorts his entire face into a terrible grimace. Oh, no-ah Schnapp!"
""At long last," Vecna opens the trailer. "We can begin.""
Season five of Stranger Things opens amid chaos, with the heroes reeling from their loss at the end of season four and immediately confronting the Upside Down. The trailer shows key characters—Eleven, Nancy, Hopper, Lucas, Max—engaging in high-stakes combat against demons emerging from the Upside Down. Vecna returns and targets Will Byers directly, levitating him and commanding help one last time as Will reacts in torment. Co-creator Ross Duffer describes the season as sprinting into action rather than easing into normal life. The release is staggered across November 26, December 25, and a two-hour finale on New Year's Eve.
