Netflix has released the first five minutes of the eagerly awaited Stranger Things Season 5, returning fans to the pivotal moment in the first season when Will Byers disappears.
The clip offers a glimpse without revealing much of the new season's plot. It revisits the Hawkins Library in the Upside Down, where Will Byers goes missing, an event that shaped the series' early storylines. Season 5 is set 18 months after the last season's events.
The episode starts with a 12-year-old Will Byers inside the Upside Down, looking exhausted and disoriented. He quietly sings The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go," a song significant to his character and introduced to him by his brother in Season 1:
“The song here is important for Will and acts as a reminder for the audience, as it is the track introduced to the teen by his brother in Season 1.”
As Will sings, he suddenly hears unsettling sounds outside and hesitates. Soon after, the Demogorgon bursts into the scene. Will fires a hunting rifle at the creature, barely escaping the attack. He attempts to climb a tree for safety, but the Demogorgon aggressively throws him to the ground.
The preview has stirred excitement among viewers awaiting the new episodes, promising a gripping continuation of the story.
