Besides sharing two title card images for the upcoming episodes, titled ‘The Crawl’ and ‘The Vanishing of [redacted]’, Duffer hinted that the opening chapters are particularly noteworthy. Specifically, they claimed that “Chapter One: The Crawl” is Ross and Matt’s favorite since the first season of Stranger Things, a statement that generates excitement as it reminds us of the thrilling moment when Will Byers was abducted into the Upside Down in the series’ initial episode.

Intriguingly, Duffer also hinted that “Chapter Two: The Vanishing of…” would feature an extraordinary cold open, igniting curiosity among fans everywhere. Although they didn’t disclose who vanishes in this episode, it bears a striking resemblance to the series’ inaugural episode, “Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers.

On Reddit, fans are expressing their enthusiasm over Ross Duffer’s recent update, with some seeming more eager than ever before. One fan exclaimed, “Oh boy, what mischief have the Duffers concocted this time?” Another responded, “It seems it will be quite tasty.” A Stranger Things enthusiast struggled to contain their excitement, stating, “I’m getting more and more worked up as each day passes; I can wait no longer!! Fans also speculate that “Chapter Two: The Vanishing of…” may refer to one of the Wheeler family members, with many believing it could be Holly.

It’s a relief that we won’t have much time left to speculate about these theories and teasers because the fifth and final season of Stranger Things will be premiering in three parts from November 26th to December 25th, with the finale airing on December 31st.
