The trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 is out, and fans are wondering if the main characters will survive. There’s a subtle clue in the trailer that suggests one or more characters might not make it to the end.
After almost ten years of revisiting the 1980s with monsters and walkie-talkies, the popular show Stranger Things will conclude with its fifth season. The final season will be released in three parts: the first on November 26th, the second on Christmas Day, and the last on New Year’s Eve 2025.
Season 5 is set in the fall of 1987, over a year after the last season’s events. The group will come together with one main objective: to locate and defeat Vecna.
While it hasn’t been officially confirmed, many fans are worried that a main character might die while the heroes try to save the world. The latest trailer seems to suggest this possibility, particularly with the song it uses.
Stranger Things Season 5 trailer hints at death with ‘devastating’ song

You were likely focused on Eleven’s incredible abilities and might not have noticed the song playing – a version of Queen’s ‘Who Wants to Live Forever.’ But it’s probably not a coincidence that song was used.
Man, ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ always hits me hard. It was originally written for the movie Highlander, which is all about living forever but seeing everyone you care about pass away. It’s basically a song about the sadness of outliving everyone you love, and it totally gets me thinking about that as a gamer – you build connections with characters, then the story ends… it’s a bummer!
The line, ‘There’s no time for us, there’s no place for us,’ perfectly expresses the pain of saying goodbye and how quickly life passes. In the context of the Netflix series, it almost seems like a hint of what’s to come.
The song implies that while some people overcome huge challenges, not everyone will survive, and those who do will be left only with their memories and the love they shared. It also suggests that sacrifice is sometimes necessary, and that all things eventually come to an end.
This song might be about the show itself, or simply a moving piece meant to accompany the Season 5 trailer. However, considering how Stranger Things often uses music to hint at important plot points, it’s worth considering that the song could be a clue.
A trailer leak for the fifth season of Stranger Things, set to Queen’s song “Who Wants to Live Forever,” has sparked speculation about Will Byers’ fate, with one person suggesting he might die. Others believe Eleven’s death would be more impactful.
One person shared their strong emotional reaction to Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever,” saying the song completely devastated them. Another commenter agreed, stating that Queen consistently makes them cry, but this particular song immediately brought tears to their eyes.
