"I don't know if it's because I'm constantly comparing current times to living in the Upside Down or what, but there's just something about Stranger Things Season 5 that feels... symbolic. Bigger than the show itself. And the behind-the-scenes teaser trailer that just dropped hits on that feeling in a way that'll honestly make you super sentimental. "There's something magical about childhood," Matt Duffer says at the start of the featurette, as clips from early seasons of the show play."
"When I first started watching it, my oldest kid was 5; they're now a teen who has joined me in watching the show. Together, we've followed along as young stars Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), and Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield) have sprouted into adulthood before our eyes - something the new trailer really crystallizes."
Season 5's behind-the-scenes teaser centers on the magic of childhood, beginning with Matt Duffer's line "There's something magical about childhood." The Duffer brothers state the show's heart is the nostalgia and sincerity of growing up. The trailer highlights nearly a decade of storytelling, showing the young cast maturing into adulthood and reinforcing long-term fan investment. Winona Ryder reflects on watching the cast grow as the show's biggest gift. Cast members describe feeling like the same group of friends despite expanding story scale. The featurette frames the series as both a coming-of-age saga and a communal, life-affirming experience.
