This Is The Last Trailer Before Stranger Things 5 Starts, We Swear

Yikes, two days. Just two days. You as nervous as I am? Let’s take a few moments to breathe before we hit the trailer button. Ready? Then here we go…This is Stranger Things 5: the last preview.

Some of the shots are recycled; there is nothing new regarding Eleven or Hopper in this thing. But we do get some never before revealed shots of most of the teens, and confirmation that the Demogorgons have become surprisingly spry. Hop around like bunnies, they do. Where did they get all that energy? Demogorgon Crunch, that’s where — part of a complete breakfast.

The general theme of this trailer is….CARS! You need wheels to outrun the Demogorgons, so it’s a good thing our heroes have several. Steve and Dustin are rocking the WSQK van. Robin and Murray — of all the random team-ups — are fending off a Demo in a hot rod of their own (and Murray seems really into it for some reason). Multiple stick shifts are thrusted into gear. And our preview ends with the gang racing a rapidly closing Upside Down portal in a bid to get inside…can they make it? Of course they can; the real question is how they get back out.

Yesterday a section of Melrose Avenue in LA was shut down to make room for “One Last Ride,” an event promoting Stranger Things 5 that encouraged people to commute the street using their bikes instead — which feels a lot more like Portland than LA. Participants were encouraged to dress up as their favorite character from the show or just wear something fashionable from the 1980s. Netflix promised “immersive photo ops, pedal-powered activations, live entertainment, merch, giveaways, and an exclusive content drop,” but since we don’t live in the area and were unaware of this event until just now, we don’t have a clue what it looked like. But it is where the trailer released this morning first made its public debut.

The next time we probably discuss this show will be after the release of the first half. The monster army is almost here. Stranger Things 5 kicks off November 26 at 5 PM Pacific on Netflix.

Seeing the focus on cars makes me think the season is going for a faster pace than before. The earlier seasons had a lot of scenes where the characters planned things out, but now it feels like everything is happening while they are already moving. The part with Steve and Dustin in the van sounds fun because their scenes usually balance the tension with humor. The Murray and Robin team-up is unexpected, but I can imagine their talk while they drive. The Demogorgons jumping around with so much energy is a strange detail, but it shows how dangerous they have become. The event on Melrose Avenue sounds like something fans would enjoy, especially with the 80s fashion theme. Seeing people ride bikes in a city known for cars must have looked unusual. With the show releasing soon, there is a feeling of pressure because this is the last season, and everyone wants it to end well.

The trailer giving more attention to the teens feels right since they are still the center of the story. Even without new scenes of Eleven or Hopper, the preview seems to highlight what the group will be dealing with. The Demogorgons becoming more agile makes the threat stronger. The choice to show so many cars suggests long chase scenes. The Melrose event sounds interesting, but it is a bit strange that it happened with little notice. A bike-focused promotion for a show known for bikes in Season 1 makes sense though. The countdown to the release feels short, and it creates a mix of excitement and worry.

Nothing in the trailer surprises me too much, but it does feel like a reminder that everything is about to wrap up. The part with the Upside Down portal closing fast seems like the big action moment they want people to talk about. Murray driving a hot rod is the funniest mental image here. The idea of Demogorgons eating some imaginary breakfast cereal is silly, but it makes them sound more hyper than ever. The event in LA seems fun for fans who like dressing up. Releasing the trailer there first is a smart move for hype. With only days left, the wait feels heavier.

The car theme makes me curious because Stranger Things usually focuses on bikes and walking through forests, not high-speed rides. The characters splitting into unusual pairs like Robin and Murray gives the sense that the final season is mixing things up. The Demogorgon behavior sounds more intense than before, and that adds risk for every chase. The Melrose Avenue event feels like a nice idea for fans, though it must have been crowded. The release date being so soon means the internet will be full of reactions very fast.

The detail that they reused some shots feels normal since final trailers often repeat earlier material. The new scenes with the teens show how spread out the group might be this season. The portal scene sounds like the big hook at the end. The promotion on Melrose Avenue looks like something made just to create online clips and social media posts. It is interesting that they encouraged 80s fashion again since the show leans heavily on nostalgia. The premiere coming so soon brings both excitement and a bit of stress for fans who have waited years.

Murray driving a hot rod makes me laugh because he usually looks stressed, not thrilled. The car action feels very different from the early seasons, but maybe they want bigger movement for the final story. The Demogorgons being more active gives them a different presence. The Melrose event seems like something tourists and locals would both enjoy. The sudden release of the trailer there adds surprise for anyone not paying attention to promotions. With only two days left, the anticipation builds fast.

Although it seems strange, the trailer's use of cars as the central focus might be appropriate for the plot. While the other teams deal with more intense action, Steve and Dustin in a vehicle will likely provide the lighter times. The portal chase could become a spectacle that people talk about. It sounds intriguing to close Melrose Avenue for a cycling event since it encourages people to engage with one another instead of merely staring at a device. A bike-filled boulevard in Los Angeles must have seemed odd. Everything feels more genuine now that the release date is drawing near.

The trailer seems to focus more on movement than dialogue, which is a shift from some earlier previews. The closing portal scene sounds tense. Robin and Murray driving together is something I did not expect, but it might create interesting conversations between them. The promotion event in LA looks like something designed for fans who like interactive activities. The release happening in two days builds a strong sense of countdown.

The latest and supposedly final trailer for Stranger Things 5 cranks the anticipation to its highest point yet, promising a darker, more emotional, and action-packed conclusion to the beloved series.
