The Official Trailer for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Is Here

The fate of Hawkins will unfold across two volumes, premiering this November and Christmas Day.

Summary

• The Stranger Things Season 5 trailer is out, set in Fall 1987 amidst the Rifts’ opening
• The season begins in chaos, with Eleven hiding and Hawkins under military quarantine
• The final battle looms, requiring the “full party” to unite against a powerful new darkness

Netflix has finally dropped the official trailer for the highly-anticipated Stranger Things season five. The upcoming final season will be split into two volumes, with the finale also hitting select theaters.

Season five of the long-running series is set in Fall 1987. The town of Hawkins is still reeling from the opening of the Rifts. The young characters are determined to find and take down Vecna, who has since vanished. Meanwhile, the government has amped up its search efforts to find Eleven, placing Hawkins under military quarantine.

“As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before,” the synopsis continued. “To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”

“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. 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,” co-creator Ross Duffer said in a statement. Matt Duffer added,
“They’re not experiencing normal life. Nothing in Hawkins is normal anymore…their movement is restricted, and there are Big Brother cameras everywhere. So not only are they active — their everyday, normal lives are anything but.”

Executive producer and director Shawn Levy stated, “The action is next level, the visual effects are next level, but I’m also happy to say that the emotional center remains the same. And part of the magic of this show is that even as we evolve, even as the storytelling becomes more epic, it’s always anchored in these characters that we love.”

Watch the trailer above. Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 premieres November 26, followed by Volume 2 on Christmas and The Finale on New Year’s Eve.
