A new teaser for Stranger Things 5 has dropped, and it’s clear the final chapter of Netflix’s supernatural mega-hit is pulling no punches. Set in the fall of 1987, the teaser opens with ominous red skies over Hawkins, Indiana—now overrun by military personnel and once again crawling with Demogorgons.
The stakes? Higher than ever. Vecna has disappeared, Eleven is back in hiding, and the Upside Down continues to spill into the real world. The government has placed the entire town under military quarantine, and the group that started it all—Dustin, Mike, Lucas, and Will—must reunite to stop the nightmare once and for all.
“To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone—the full party—standing together, one last time,” the synopsis teases.
The final season promises epic battles, emotional goodbyes, and long-awaited answers about the Upside Down. According to Ross Duffer, fans can expect major revelations from the show’s original 25-page mythology document. “We’ve punted a couple of those [secrets] to have some big reveals in Season 5,” he said.
Returning cast includes series staples like Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, and more—plus new faces like Linda Hamilton (The Terminator) as Dr. Kay.
