Stranger Things has offered up one of the first teasers for its fifth and final season, with Netflix sharing a short clip that boasts the names of its last eight episodes.
The names alone will likely give fans plenty to speculate and consider ahead of the show’s return next year (an exact premiere date has yet to be announced). One of the most intriguing titles is the one for episode two, “The Vanishing Of —“ with the final word blurred out. Famously, the first episode of Stranger Things was called “The Vanishing of Will Byers.”
Other titles include “The Turnbow Trap,” “Shock Jock,” and “Escape From Camazotz.” Perhaps fittingly, the series, which has centered around an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down, will conclude with a finale dubbed “The Rightside Up.”
In the clip, after all eight titles are revealed, a new set of text comes up that reads, “In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins…”
Stranger Things began production on Season Five at the beginning of the year, after being delayed because of the 2023 writers and actors strikes. The show’s creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, previously announced that the hit sci-fi series — which premiered in 2016 — would end after its fifth season back in Feb. 2022, before Season Four had premiered.
Over the year, a few behind-the-scenes photos from production have trickled out, while star David Harbour recently spoke about the emotional table read for that final episode. “The end of this episode when we were reading it — just us reading it — about halfway through, people started crying,” he said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast last month. “Then about the last 20 minutes, it was just uncontrollably crying, waves of different people.”
Harbour added, “It’s such a great episode, and it’s such a great season. You guys will love it.” He also called the finale “the best episode they’ve ever done” and said, “They land the plane.”
