A new viral theory has emerged suggesting that the trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 could drop this March, and fans are excited about the possibility. As one of the most eagerly awaited TV events, fans have been eagerly speculating about when they will catch the first glimpse of the final season. The latest theory links the trailer's potential release to an important date for a key character, Will Byers. According to the theory, the trailer may be released on March 22, 2025, which coincides with Will Byers' birthday, as revealed in Stranger Things Season 4. Although the show previously made a continuity error by forgetting Will's birthday, the mistake became a beloved inside joke within the fanbase. Now, fans believe that the showrunners could redeem themselves by releasing the highly anticipated Season 5 trailer on this date, making it a meaningful nod to the character and the show's loyal followers. While Netflix has not officially confirmed the trailer's release date, this theory has gained significant traction due to the show's history of revealing small hints about the final season. Releasing the trailer on Will's birthday would not only be a clever acknowledgment of the fanbase but also serve as a tribute to the often-overlooked character. The main cast for Stranger Things Season 5 has already been confirmed, with Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Noah Schnapp as Will, Sadie Sink as Max, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, and Natalia Dyer as Nancy. In addition to these familiar faces, fans can also expect new and exciting characters to be introduced, though details about the new cast members have yet to be revealed.
