It’s been a few years since the fourth season of Stranger Things left us wondering how the series would conclude. Though we still have no idea how the kids in Hawkins, Indiana, will stop the Upside Down from running rampant across our reality, Netflix has dropped a new teaser trailer for the upcoming final season of the popular show.

No actual scenes from the forthcoming fifth season of the show were shown, but the teaser trailer does reveal the upcoming titles of each episode. Judging from that alone we’re going to be in for quite the ride. Coming in eight episodes strong the titles are as follows: “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of…,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.”

While these titles don’t give away much we can at least expect a lot of heart-pounding scenarios in which our young heroes will find themselves in life and death situations. According to Variety, some titles may suggest familiar scenarios.

Per Variety:

Some of these titles allude to earlier episodes: “The Vanishing of…” — revealed with the name fully obscured — invokes the series premiere “The Vanishing of Will Byers.” Fans online have already speculated that the new abductee could be Holly Wheeler, the younger sister of Mike (Finn Wolfhard) who was reportedly recast with “Evil Dead Rise” actor Nell Fisher, but Netflix has not officially confirmed.

The Season 1 finale was titled “The Upside Down,” the name of the phantasmagoric alternate dimension connected to Hawkins, so it is fitting that the series finale title, “The Rightside Up,” is the reverse. And the penultimate episode title, “The Bridge,” evokes curious titles like Season 4’s “The Piggyback” and Season 2’s “The Gate.” 

Should be interesting to see how the series comes to an end after eight years of build-up.

The final season of Stranger Things will hit Netflix sometime in 2025. What do you expect to see unfold when it’s all said and done? Let us know in the comments section below.
