The Hollywood Reporter shared the exciting news of third and final trailer for Stranger Things season five. Netflix shared the endless adventures and action that will fill this next season.
As if the holidays aren’t already filled with joy, The Hollywood Reporter shared the release schedule that revolves around the biggest days of the year. Volume one will be released on Thanksgiving Day, Volume two on Christmas, and The Finale on New Year’s Eve.
The official description of the new season will be sure to keep the audience on their toes via The Hollywood Reporter: “The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scared by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. 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.”
Co-creator Ross Duffer (Hidden, Eater) commented on the final episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, we’d captured over 650 hours of footage. So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies. It’s pretty insane.”
His brother and co-creator Matt Duffer added, “At the same time, we think it’s our most personal story. It was super intense and emotional to film, for us and for our actors. We’ve been making this show together for almost 10 years. There was a lot of crying. There was so much crying. The show means so much to all of us, and everyone put their hearts and souls into it. And we hope — and believe — that passion will translate to the screen.”
The Hollywood Reporter announced that Netflix dropped a major tease for the upcoming story arc in November by announcing the Season five episode titles. These include: “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of [censored for now],” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.”
“There are more Stranger Things stories to tell and in the works,” Matt said via The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s a bit early at this point to talk about them, but we’re deeply involved in every one — it’s very important to us that anything with the Stranger Things name on it is of the highest quality and not repetitive — that it has a reason to exist and always blazes its own path. And also, it needs to basically just be … awesome. Or we need to think it’s awesome. And there are a lot of what we think are awesome things in the pipeline.”
