Stranger Things Season 5: First Five Minutes Released
Netflix has released the first five minutes of the highly anticipated Stranger Things Season 5, bringing fans back to the series' beginning when Will Byers disappeared. The full season premieres in just a few days.
Preview Recap
The preview doesn’t reveal much of the new season’s plot but revisits the moment Will Byers goes missing, a key event from the first installment. This scene unfolds at the Hawkins Library in the Upside Down.
“The first episode of the new season begins with 12-year-old Will Byers, exhausted, confused, and shaking inside the Upside Down, singing The Clash’s Should I Stay or Should I Go to himself.”
Will’s singing is significant, linking back to a song introduced by his brother in Season 1. As he sings, he hears strange noises outside and pauses. Then, a Demogorgon crashes into the castle where he hides.
Will’s Struggle
Will fires a hunting rifle at the creature and nearly escapes. He climbs a tree trying to find a way out, but the Demogorgon catches him and throws him to the ground.
Setting the Timeline
Season 5 picks up 18 months after the events of Season 4, promising to continue the story with deeper developments.
Author's Summary
The released preview powerfully reconnects fans to the original mystery of Will’s disappearance, setting a suspenseful tone for the final season of Stranger Things.
