Stranger Things fans, get ready for one last thrill. After three long years, the iconic gang from Hawkins is returning for one final battle and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is set to premiere on Netflix on Nov 26. On Wednesday (Jul 16), Netflix dropped the official teaser, sending fans into a frenzy.
Season 4 left fans with a storm of unanswered questions but one thing finally came to light: The origin of the Upside Down. We learnt that Henry Creel, a troubled child with psychic powers, was twisted by Dr Benner’s experiments. After being banished into an alternate dimension by Eleven, he transformed into the terrifying Vecna, the mastermind behind the years of horror.
The new season's teaser wastes no time plunging us back into chaos and once again, Stranger Things stuns with its soundscape. This time, it’s a thunderous rendition of Deep Purple’s iconic song, Child In Time. The music sets the tone for the pulse-pounding tension as the teaser opens with Steve Harrington, now seemingly working as an employee at the WSQK radio station.
As the music intensifies, Hawkins is shown fully overrun by the Upside Down, leaving the government helpless.
“Burn commencing,” announces Mike Wheeler as military forces sprint through the streets with Demogorgons tearing through the town.
The emotional stakes climb higher when we see Max Mayfield, still in a coma in her hospital bed following her attack by Venca. A broken Lucas Sinclair holding her hand and weeping in agony. Will Byer, haunted by his connection to the Upside Down world, is seen collapsing.
Then, just when it seems the dark might settle, we catch a glimpse of an ever-more horrifying Vecna growling, “Found you.”
True to form, the teaser shows our heroes not breaking but banding together. Fear turns into resolve. And that’s what makes Stranger Things, well, Stranger Things. No matter how dark it gets, the Hawkins crew is ever ready to win the battle.
The final season will consist of eight episodes, released in three parts: Volume 1 on Nov 26, Volume 2 on Dec 25 and the epic finale on Dec 31.
