Is the Stranger Things Season 5 teaser trailer real or fake?
No, the Stranger Things Season 5 teaser trailer released on July 3, 2024, is fake, despite garnering 871,027 views, as of July 16, 2024.

The writers of Stranger Things wasted no time in starting Season 5, commencing just a month after Season 4 Volume 2 premiered in July 2022, on August 2, 2022. They have been actively updating fans on their progress, including starting the crucial “grid stage” of writing on August 25, 2022. This stage involves meticulously plotting out the season’s episodes for a cohesive and thrilling narrative.

As reported by Deadline, Season 5 will introduce new characters such as Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux, although details about their roles remain under wraps.
