The first five minutes of the final season of “Stranger Things” have been revealed.
After the Season 5 premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday night, Netflix surprise dropped the clip on YouTube, which takes viewers all the way back to the beginning of the series after the 1983 disappearance of Will Byers (Noah Schnapp).
Titled “The Crawl,” the first episode opens on a young Will in the Upside Down, trying to calm himself down by softly singing the Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Suddenly, a Demogorgon attacks, chasing Will up a tree and leading to a gnarly fall. Knocked unconscious, Will is then dragged by the Demogorgon to the lair of Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). Wrapping Will up in his vines with one over his mouth, Vecna says creepily: “At long last, we can begin. You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together.”
Volume 1 of “Stranger Things” Season 5 is set to drop on Nov. 26, with Volume 2 debuting on Dec. 25. The series finale will premiere on Dec. 31.
“The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna,” the synopsis for Season 5 reads. “But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”
