Stranger Things Season 5: Netflix Reveals the First Five Minutes

Netflix has unveiled the opening scene of Stranger Things Season 5, taking viewers back to Will Byers’ disappearance in 1983 and his haunting link to the Upside Down. The final season begins where the story first started, immersing fans once again in the eerie world beneath Hawkins.

A Return to the Night of Will’s Disappearance

The new season’s premiere, titled “The Crawl,” revisits November 12, 1983—six days after Will went missing, according to Netflix’s Tudum. The scene features young Will, played by Noah Schnapp, sitting alone inside the Upside Down version of Castle Byers, physically and emotionally drained.

He quietly sings “Should I Stay or Should I Go,” the song introduced to him by his brother Jonathan in Season 1.

The familiar tune, a recurring symbol in the series, remains Will’s emotional anchor amidst the darkness.

An Ominous Shift in the Upside Down

Moments later, unsettling noises ripple through the stillness outside his fort. Will grabs a hunting rifle, echoing the early episodes, and attempts to defend himself. In a desperate effort, he climbs a tree, but the unseen creature seizes him and pulls him into Vecna’s lair — marking a chilling reintroduction to the dangers of the Upside Down.

Trailer Connection

Alongside this scene, Netflix also dropped a new trailer teasing the season’s climactic showdown. Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven returns for the final battle that will determine the fate of Hawkins.
