Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer Just Dropped, And Yes, It’s As Insane As You Hoped

That Stranger Things Season 5 trailer just dropped and I was not prepared. At all. I went in thinking, "Alright, let’s see how dusty this thing feels after sitting on the shelf for three years." But it actually hit. Like, legit gave me chills.

I almost didn’t even check the comments because I figured it’d be a bunch of people already trashing it. But weirdly enough, most of them were hyped too. Which, honestly, surprised me more than the trailer itself.

My expectations were low just because of how long it’s been. The gap between seasons made it easy to stop caring. But now that I’ve seen this thing? I'm back in. Full send. Some of those scenes got me weirdly emotional. Not even because something sad happened, just because it reminded me how long we’ve been with these characters. These kids grew up and so did the stakes.

The trailer doesn’t show too much, which I appreciate. No giant spoiler dump, no over-the-top “here’s everything we’re doing” montage. It just sets the tone and gets your head back in Hawkins. The vibe is heavy, and it actually feels like an ending.

If you haven’t watched it yet, go check it out. Even if you gave up on the show a while ago. This might pull you back in. And if it doesn’t, well, at least now you know what song’s gonna be on every dramatic TikTok edit for the next six months.

Also, if sweating through a suspenseful Netflix trailer is a thing you do, might be a good time to hit up this deodorant. Smells better than the Upside Down.
