This sneak peek arrives just days before the full season premieres, building excitement among fans eager to see what unfolds next.

Preview Revisits Season 1 Timeline

The preview does not reveal significant details about Season 5’s plot. Instead, it transports the audience to the Hawkins Library in the Upside Down, revisiting the moment when Will Byers disappears. The early scene features Will, aged 12, appearing tired, disoriented, and trembling inside the ominous alternate dimension.

Will Byers’s Struggle in the Upside Down

Will quietly sings The Clash’s Should I Stay or Should I Go, a song introduced to him by his brother in Season 1, which also serves as a nostalgic cue for the audience. As he sings, strange sounds alert him to danger. Soon after, a Demogorgon crashes into the castle where Will is hiding.

This new season picks up 18 months after the events of Season 4, promising further developments while grounding the story in key moments from the series’ beginning.

“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.”

As the story unfolds, fans can expect a blend of nostalgia and new thrills in the final season.
