Netflix's Stranger Things releases official season 5 teaser trailer as fans go wild
Stranger Things season five will drop in three parts later this year after over three years of waiting for the grand finale
Stranger Things has finally released a teaser trailer for its highly anticipated fifth and final season which is set to drop in three parts later this year. The trailer release comes amid the nine year anniversary of the show first premiering on Netflix, which has since gone on to become one of the streaming service's most popular series of all time.
Fans have now been waiting well over three years for the show to conclude with Stranger Things Season Four coming out in May 2022. The final three-part season will officially commence on November 26 with Volume 1 (episodes 1-4). Volume 2 (episodes 5-7) will air on Christmas Day on December 25 and the grand finale (episode 8) will drop on New Year's Eve on December 31.
The official synopsis teaser reads: "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.'
The jam packed teaser shows a first glimpse of the gang's efforts to close the portal to the Upside Down while Dustin grieves the loss of pal Eddie Munson who everyone in town believes was a murderer.
The fifth season of the show, created by the Duffer brothers, sees all the characters in the town of Hawkins, Indiana in 1987 while the community recovers from the Rifts that killed multiple people and left dozens of others missing.
The gang are more determined than ever to find and kill Vecna once and for all.

While Vecna is still missing, things are made even more complicated when Hawkins is put under military quarantine by the government, who are still trying to track down the supernatural Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown.
While Eleven is forced into hiding, Will Byers, played by Noah Schnapp, is left dreading the anniversary of his disappearance into the Upside Down as the date approaches.
The Stranger Things Instagram account dropped the trailer on their page yesterday evening with the caption: "Every battle has led to this. The Stranger Things 5 teaser is HERE!"
Fans raced to the comments to share their thoughts as one wrote: "Protect Steve! I repeat, PROTECT STEVE!!!!"
A third penned: "I am at a loss for words… my body is overwhelmed. I can't wait."
A fourth remarked: "I just know this is gonna be gut wrenching."
Another emotional fan wrote: "Started highschool with this show and graduating college with it. This is gonna HIT."
One fan, who was clearly still annoyed about how long it has taken to come out, said: "Is it called stranger things 5 cause it took 5 years to come out."
Stranger Things 5's first volume will drop on Netflix on November 26.
