A "trailer" for Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 1 appeared on YouTube back on March 20, 2024, and has started gaining traction online. Uploaded by the channel Screen Culture, the trailer has already surpassed over 146,000 views at the time of writing this article.
While fans are excited for the upcoming Stranger Things season 5, they will be disappointed to learn that the trailer is not exactly real. It's a fan-made trailer that just repurposes scenes from season 4 of the Netflix sci-fi show, and doesn't contain any scenes from season 5.

While fan trailers have been quite common on YouTube, the trailer's title doesn't seem to hint so which certainly did attract fans to it. However, fans can anticipate official updates on Stranger Things season 5 to come soon as the show is slated to premiere next year on Netflix.
What can fans expect from Stranger Things season 5?
Going into Stranger Things season 5, fans can expect a finality to come as the show heads into its concluding season. Season 4, saw the main characters taking on the show's biggest villain yet - the Vecna. Sharing a history with Eleven, Vecna plans on decimating Hawkins completely, and it certainly looks like the final season of the show will be revolving around that.
Season 4 of Stranger Things revealed that Vecna needs at least 4 victims to complete his plans. While Max was supposed to be that 4th victim, his plan failed to kill her as the group of heroes used her to weaken Vecna, and turned the tables. But Max was still left in a bad state that saw her go into a coma and escape within an inch of her life.
The season ended with Hawkins being surrounded by clouds as Will was greeted with goosebumps on his neck. It certainly looks like the Upside-Down has some more horrors in the store, and the band of heros certainly isn't ready for it.
Will Byers to be the focus of Stranger Things season 5
With Vecna wanting to destroy Hawkins, fans can also expect Will Byers to have a bigger role in Stranger Things season 5. While the character, who is arguably one of the most important parts of the show, hasn't been that active in the previous seasons - it definitely looks like he will have a bigger part to play in the upcoming season.
The entirety of Stranger Things began because of Will being pulled into the Upside-Down and the effort to find him. Alongside Eleven, it's easy to state that he is the next character with a direct connection to the Upside-Down, and season 4 certainly sets up a bigger role for him to come.
In an interview with Collider in July 2022, The Duffer brothers confirmed that the character will be a "primary focus" in season 5.
"Will's going to be a big part and focus, is really all I can say of Season 5, in his journey. We're starting to see his coming of age, really. Which has been challenging for a number of reasons, some of which are supernatural. But you're starting to see him come into his own. I also love that scene between him and Charlie, him and his brother, Jonathan," said Matt Duffer.
