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.

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.
