One part that broke fans' hearts, though, is a shot of Dustin visiting the grave of his old Hellfire Club pal Eddie Munson, who chose to stay behind in the Upside Down and distract a swarm of demobats so that his friends could escape last season – and subsequently succumbed to the creatures' fatal bites.

Metallica and the Eddie Munson character might be out of the picture in the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” but judging by the show’s latest trailer, released today, heavy metal most definitely is not.

From Metallica’s ‘Master of Puppets’ to Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’, the Netflix show has given a new lease of life to several retro hits

So, following his death in season 4, Eddie's presence is still massively felt in the teaser for season 5. Some fans have wondered if this could point to a resurrection for Eddie and, considering this is very possible in Dungeons & Dragons lore, it's not out of the question.

The new season of Stranger Things will roll out in three parts. Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 (Episodes 1-4) will hit Netflix on Thanksgiving Day 2025, aka Thursday, November 26. Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 (Episodes 5-7) will come out on Christmas Day, aka December 25. The final episode of Stranger Things debuts on New Year’s Eve.

Read on to learn some mind-blowing predictions or theories about the final season of Netflix's ‘Stranger Things’ that will lift your excitement.

Unleashed earlier today (June 16th), the trailer previews even more supernatural goings-on in Hawkins, Indiana. This includes a bunch of snarling demogorgons, trips to the Upside Down, and a visit to the gravesite of departed metal shredder Eddie Munson.

Stranger Things kept its tradition and used another iconic music in its season 5 teaser trailer which Netflix released on July 16. The music reminded fans of Eddie Munson's Metallica performance in previous season.
