Watch the First Five Minutes of 'Stranger Things' Season 5
Netflix released the first five minutes of the final season of Stranger Things as a treat ahead of its November premiere. The preview sets a nostalgic tone, echoing the show's roots in 1983.
Opening Scene Highlights
The clip features a CGI-de-aged Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) fleeing from a tree-climbing Demogorgon. The creature disrupts Will’s attempt to calm himself by singing The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Despite taking a shot to the face, the Demogorgon remains unfazed and reveals its unexpected ability to climb trees.
Will’s Peril and Aftermath
After a daring leap between trees, Will falls, unconscious on the ground. The scene then reveals what happens during his unconscious state: the Demogorgon drags his limp body to Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), who has been lurking in the shadows, orchestrating events like a master strategist.
“The Demogorgon, news to everyone, including the abject horror of Will, can also climb trees.”
“Looming in the shadows, moving chess pieces and whatnot.”
The preview captures the eerie atmosphere and deepens the mystery around Vecna's influence as the final season approaches.
Author's summary: The first five minutes of Stranger Things Season 5 revive a nostalgic 1983 setting, showing a vulnerable Will Byers facing new horrors linked to Vecna’s shadowy manipulations.
