The long-awaited first trailer for “Stranger Things 5″ has been unveiled, yet it’s facing similar criticisms from fans. As the fifth and concluding season of “Stranger Things”, anticipation is running high for the ending of Netflix’s beloved original series. Following years of speculation, Netflix has officially announced the release date for “Stranger Things 5” (divided into three parts). However, the streaming platform is maintaining secrecy about the details of the final chapter.
In the upcoming fifth season of “Stranger Things”, the main actors such as Millie Bobby Brown (as Eleven), David Harbour (Hopper), and Winona Ryder (Joyce) will return to their characters. The final installment will consist of eight episodes, some of which will be helmed by the show’s creators, known as The Duffer Brothers. The ending of season 4 concluded with an imminent invasion of Hawkins by creatures from the Upside Down.
Stranger Things 5’s New Trailer is Receiving 1 Major Complaint
At Netflix’s TUDUM event on May 31, it was announced when season 5 of “Stranger Things” will be released. This announcement trailer has already garnered over 12 million views. The two-minute video primarily reviews scenes from previous seasons of “Stranger Things,” with only about 30 seconds featuring new footage from the final episodes.
Critics have expressed disapproval towards this method, as numerous fans have voiced their concerns that the trailer’s reliance on flashbacks detracts from showcasing the 650 hours of footage shot for “Stranger Things 5”, potentially leaving out significant scenes.
Fans have been eagerly anticipating the results of the five-season’s filming process of Stranger Things, which has taken a year. However, even though Netflix is now intensifying promotions for Stranger Things Season 5 before its first part releases in November, people were hoping that the initial trailer would provide more insights into the upcoming season.
A YouTube viewer expressed their disappointment by saying, “‘I assumed this was a trailer, but I barely saw any season 5 content,’” with another chiming in, “‘There’s only about 10 seconds of footage.’” Meanwhile, on platform X, a fan pleaded with Netflix to create an ‘authentic trailer rather than recapping all four seasons,’ while another urged the streaming service to ‘improve their efforts:’.
It seems we’ve been waiting quite a while now, and what we receive feels rather minimal. Here’s a brief summary of all the seasons – you guys really need to step up your game.
Despite this being labeled a “date announcement” trailer, it’s important to note that an official trailer for “Stranger Things 5,” featuring more new footage, is expected within the following months as the release date approaches. This should help alleviate any concerns about the show’s upcoming season.
Apart from expressing dissatisfaction over reusing familiar scenes, viewers took to the comments section of the Stranger Things 5 trailer to share their concerns about the delayed release of the fifth season. Since Season 4 premiered in 2022, it’s been a three-year wait for new episodes of Stranger Things. By the time the final episode of Stranger Things 5 airs on December 31, nine years will have elapsed since the initial episode first appeared in 2016.

What Does Netflix’s New Stranger Things 5 Teaser Reveal?
As a dedicated cinephile, I eagerly anticipate delving into the tantalizing glimpses of Stranger Things 5, even though some of the material appears to be repurposed clips from previous seasons. However, there are fresh, intriguing sequences that will undoubtedly captivate us fans in the months ahead.
The teaser opens as Joyce (Ryder) reminisces with her son Will (Schnapp) about the night he vanished back in 1983. “I often think about that night,” she shares with him. After a brief recap, we see Joyce readying herself for battle, gripping an axe to face an unseen danger on behalf of the children.
The trailer additionally provides fleeting looks at some well-known characters: Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Steve (Joe Keery) found within the Upside Down, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono) tightly holding her daughter, Holly, in terror, and Eleven shielding her ears as she cries out in agony – a behavior typically indicating that the forces from the Upside Down are disturbing the young psychic.
In the latest news, viewers get a quick glimpse into the current statuses of Max (Sadie Sink) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin). Notably, Max is now in a coma following her near-death experience with Vecna during season 4.
In the teaser, Finn Wolfhard’s character Mike can be seen frantically guarding a group of children, including Jake Connelly’s fresh character named Derek. Regrettably, Linda Hamilton’s unidentified character from Stranger Things was absent from this sneak peek.
In the trailer, there were suggestions that the realm of the Upside Down was attempting an invasion of Hawkins. Scenes depicted armed soldiers staring in disbelief as a mysterious force beneath a luminous floorboard caused them to topple over.
In the Upside Down, it appears that the characters will stumble upon fresh revelations, and there’s an unsettling scene where something alien seems to be sprouting on a wall in this parallel world.
The teaser concludes with a shot of Will, who has had an enigmatic bond with the Upside Down since he was imprisoned there in Season 1, staring upwards and urgently shouting for those nearby to “flee!”. Curious fans can find out why when the initial part of Stranger Things 5 becomes available on November 26.
