Watch the First Five Minutes of 'Stranger Things' Season 5 Right Now
Netflix has released the opening sequence of the final season of Stranger Things, where a younger, digitally de-aged Will Byers is chased through the woods by a tree-climbing Demogorgon. The scene sets the tone for the nostalgic return to November 1983, the year the story first began.
The five-minute preview continues Netflix’s tradition of nostalgic teasers. Instead of commentary or cast reactions, viewers are transported straight into the eerie events of Hawkins, where familiar horrors resurface in new and chilling ways.
Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), frightened and disoriented, faces the Demogorgon in the dark woods. The creature, defying expectations, climbs trees and survives a gunshot before dragging Will’s unconscious body toward Vecna’s lair.
As Will collapses, the sequence cuts to a mysterious scene showing Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) in the shadows, suggestively manipulating unseen forces — a grim reminder that he was always present in the background of Will’s story.
Summary
A haunting five-minute preview of Stranger Things Season 5 dives back into the origins of the series, blending nostalgia, terror, and the unsettling connection between Will and Vecna.
