Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer Drops, Fans Fret Over Steve Harrington's Fate

On October 30, 2025, Netflix released the official trailer for the fifth and final season of the hit sci-fi series Stranger Things. The trailer has already generated a lot of buzz among fans, with many expressing their concerns over the lack of screen time for a beloved character.

The trailer reveals that the Hawkins crew will once again face off against the terrifying Vecna, who appears to be more powerful than ever. Scenes show the residents of Hawkins being placed under lockdown as Demogorgons wreak havoc, and Eleven and Hopper seem to be engaged in their own battle within the Upside Down.

However, one notable absence from the trailer has caught the attention of fans – that of Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery. Many viewers have expressed their worry about the character's fate, with some speculating that he may not survive the final season.

Despite the concerns, the trailer has also received praise for its use of Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" as the backing track, which has been described as the perfect choice for the dramatic and emotional scenes.

The Duffer brothers, the creators of Stranger Things, have promised that the final season will be a thrilling and chaotic ride, with the characters no longer experiencing any semblance of normal life in Hawkins. As the town continues to be plagued by supernatural forces, the Hawkins crew must come together one last time to put an end to the Upside Down's reign of terror.
