In the wait for the trailer’s grand reveal, a fortunate few fans were the first to feast their eyes on it. Seemingly, five ardent followers were recently bestowed with the opportunity to preview the trailer in the company of a few cast members. We sure hope it’s as impressive as they claim it to be! Let’s not forget, this isn’t the first glimpse we’ve had. Coinciding with last month’s unveiling of the release dates, Netflix unveiled a retrospective-styled preview that showcased approximately 20 seconds of footage from the upcoming Season 5.
The brief glimpse into Season 5 went as follows: We see Joyce Byers wielding her faithful ax as she guards three individuals in a barn, Karen Wheeler, the matriarch of the Wheeler family, tightly hugging her daughter Holly, Lucas spotted at a hospital next to an unconscious Max, Steve and Dustin staring at an enigmatic building enveloped in strands from the Upside Down, Eleven shrieking as she thrusts her hands to her head, Mike Wheeler pushing away Joyce, potentially Will, and three newcomers of Season 5, A squad of soldiers taking aim towards a portal leading to the Upside Down, and Will shouting ‘Run!’ twice as he gawks at something unsettling off-camera. While these fleeting clips didn’t reveal much, they sparked a spark of intrigue that’s better than zero!
The fifth season of Stranger Things is set to be the swan song for the main show, but Netflix isn’t saying goodbye to the franchise that significantly contributed to its triumph. The streaming platform has already launched one spin-off, ‘Stranger Things: The First Shadow’, a theatrical prequel that delves into Henry Creel/One’s origins and his metamorphosis into Vecna. After a successful year-long run at London’s West End, this production is now performing on Broadway.
As for what’s next on Netflix’s plate, we can expect the entertainment titan to inject an element reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons into the Stranger Things universe. An animated spin-off, ‘Stranger Things: Tales From ’85’ is inevitably set for a 2026 release. The story will unfold during 1985, that’s between Season 2 and 3 of the main show, and feature known and fresh faces battling a newly unleashed supernatural menace on Hawkins. Another TV spin-off is also rumored to be on the slate but specifics remain scarce about this mystery series or when Netflix might officially disclose it.
Even as we gear up for today’s big trailer release, it’s the much-anticipated release date of Season 5 that has fans on tenterhooks. The final season is set to stretch across three separate parts. Volume 1, consisting of the first four episodes, will be released on Wednesday, November 26. Fans will then need to exercise patience as the release of Season 5 Part 2, with the following three episodes, will only happen a month later on Thursday, December 25. Lastly, the concluding episode of the main series will be up for streaming on Wednesday, December 31.
The release dates mentioned are primarily intended for the US and other countries located near or in North and South America. Fans based in these regions can expect the new seasons’ volumes to be available at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. However, viewers from Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa will be able to stream the episodes a day after the above-mentioned dates. The schedule provided should help in understanding when the episodes will be available in your locale.
As the thrill of the upcoming season 5’s first tease looms around, some fandom were left a little unimpressed because it failed to release on yesterday (July 15). But why? Because ‘Stranger Things’ marked its ninth year on the said date. The much-celebrated show’s inaugural season graced our screens on July 15, 2016, so a trailer launch on what could have been the series’ birthday would have been a poetic gesture. However, the official ‘Stranger Things’ channel made it clear that something significant is planned for July 16, acting as a clear hint that today is likely the day when the much-anticipated trailer surfaces.
While we continue to countdown to the 5th season of ‘Stranger Things’, we’re reminded that it’s still four months away. However, breaking with its custom, Netflix plans to launch the season’s first trailer today. It sure is a grand day for the ‘Stranger Things’ fandom as we brace ourselves for a sneak peek into the mystical and captivating world of Hawkins once again. Unveiling the series’ trailer today, rather than on its anniversary, might just be what fans need to fuel their excitement for the final season.
