The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is almost here, with trailers and featurettes giving us a worrying glimpse at what fate awaits the town of Hawkins.
And now, Netflix is just straight up giving you the first five minutes — and it connects all the way to Season 1.
We’re back in Castle Byers, when a young Will (Noah Schnapp) was pulled into the Upside Down in Stranger Things‘ very first season. He’s hiding in his DIY fort from the dreaded Demogorgon, quietly singing The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” (the track that saved him), before he’s attacked, pursued, gives the Demogorgon a right royal smacking, then is hauled into none other than Vecna‘s (Jamie Campbell Bower) lair in the Creel House. There, he endures Vecna’s soul sucking wrath — a fate he was saved from by his mother Joyce (Winona Ryder) in the first season.
But from the prickling sensation on the back of our necks (and the trailer), we know it ain’t over.
From the glimpses we’ve had so far, we know we’ll probably head back to the show’s present after this, to fall 1987, a year after the Season 4 finale, where Hawkins has been ripped apart by the Upside Down rifts. WE’RE NOT READY (but we very much are).
