All The New First Looks Just Released for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Volume 2

Dec 15, 2025 - 14:00

It’s here! Just a few days after Ross Duffer delivered the news that post-production had been completed on Volume 2 of Stranger Things, the new teaser trailer for the upcoming episodes, which arrive on Christmas Day, has just dropped alongside a bunch of new stills from the upcoming season.

In case you missed Ross’s tease late last week about the upcoming episodes, here’s a recap of what was said:

“Shock Jock” picks up moments after the end of “Sorcerer”. Frank Darabont is back, but he flexes very different muscles on this one than he did on “Turnbow Trap”— it’s far darker, and far scarier.
“Escape from Camazotz” is Shawn Levy’s return to the director’s chair. It’s the biggest episode of the three— and the performances make us cry every time we watch it.
“The Bridge”… we co-directed this one with Shawn. Don’t want to say too much, but aside from the finale, it’s probably the most emotional chapter of the season.

The finale episode premieres on New Year’s Day and will also appear in select theaters. According to one source, 490 locations across the United States and Canada are showing the episode (the United Kingdom has none), with California leading with 76 locations and Ontario, Canada, with 24.

Here is that trailer and all 19 new snaps for the upcoming three episodes. The official tease for the trailer states, “Everything we have ever assumed about the upside down has been dead wrong.”
