The initial five minutes of Stranger Things Season 5 have been released, delivering an intense and chilling experience. The opening scene brings viewers back to the eerie and mysterious town of Hawkins, capturing the dark atmosphere fans remember.
Return to Hawkins and Will Byers' Ordeal
These minutes revisit Will Byers' first entrapment in the Upside Down. This time, viewers also encounter Vecna, who utters a terrifying promise setting up the final showdown of the season.
Opening Scene Details
The premiere, titled "The Crawl," wastes no time, immediately transporting us to November 12, 1983—the day Will disappeared in Season 1. A digitally de-aged Noah Schnapp portrays 12-year-old Will, lying alone inside Castle Byers, softly singing The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go,” evoking nostalgia for the early days of the series.
However, the calm quickly turns to terror as a horrifying screech erupts, followed by a sudden loud boom. Will flees through the forest, his flashlight flickering while his rapid heartbeat fills the tension. Attempting to hide in a tree, he falls when the branches break beneath him.
The situation worsens dramatically when the Demogorgon captures Will and drags him to the Upside Down version of Hawkins Library, where Vecna awaits.
“Netflix couldn’t have picked a better way to kick off Stranger Things Season 5.”

The first five minutes deliver a gripping mix of nostalgia and terror, bringing the story full circle and setting the tone for the season’s epic conclusion.
