Stranger Things fans, the wait is almost over! Netflix just dropped the first teaser for the upcoming Season 5, and it’s as intense as promised. With heart-racing scenes and Upside Down demonic creatures, the Hawkins squad is gearing up for their one big final fight. The new season will pick up more than a year after the explosive Season 4, with a time jump to fall 1987. Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) is still on the loose, and Hawkins is still recovering from the gate to the Upside Down being ripped wide open.

The teaser gives quick flashes of chaos: Steve is seen at a radio tower, Lucas watches over Max, who’s still in a coma, and Dustin visits Eddie’s vandalized grave. Explosions, creatures, and intrigued faces fill every second of the teaser. And this isn’t just another season. The Duffer Brothers described it as eight blockbuster films packed into one series.

Matching the intrigue, Season 5 will drop in three different moments: Episodes 1 through 4 drop on November 26. Then comes 5 through 7 on December 25. Finally, the last episode lands on December 31. This epic ending has been nearly a decade in the making, and we’re now close to saying goodbye to one of Netflix’s most iconic and successful series.
