Netflix has dropped a chilling new trailer for Stranger Things 5, offering the most dramatic look yet at the show’s final chapter — and Hawkins has never looked more doomed. The long-awaited last season promises an explosive showdown with Vecna and the horrors of the Upside Down, and the footage suggests nobody is safe.
The scale is bigger than ever: soldiers swarming the streets, monstrous creatures tearing through town, and the chaos of full-blown battle erupting around familiar faces. Lucas appears to be racing to rescue a still-recovering Max, while Mike, Joyce, and the rest of the gang fight their way through danger as Hawkins becomes a war zone. And Eleven is once again unleashing extraordinary powers as she prepares for her ultimate confrontation.

Fans also get a first real glimpse at a terrifying updated version of Vecna — a sinister “Vecna 2.0” tangled with living vines — along with a worrying reminder that Will Byers may still be tied to the darkness that first claimed him. Vecna’s influence over him appears far from over, raising questions about just how high the stakes will climb.
Who survives? Which beloved characters could meet their end? And how far will the Upside Down’s reach extend? Viewers won’t have to wait long for answers. Stranger Things 5 begins streaming on Netflix from midnight on 26 November, with the second volume dropping at Christmas and the finale arriving on Christmas Eve.
The countdown to Hawkins’ final stand has begun — and it looks like the most terrifying chapter yet!
