The teaser was posted on Netflix's official Instagram account with the caption:

The scene takes us back to when Will was 12 years old, hiding in Castle Byers. He appears cold, pale, and shivering while singing The Clash’s song Should I Stay Or Should I Go. Suddenly, a demogorgon discovers him and attacks.
Will tries to escape, firing his rifle at the creature. After running, he finds a tree in the Upside Down and climbs it desperately. The demogorgon follows and climbs after him.
In a courageous moment, Will attempts a risky jump to another tree but misses, falling to the ground hard.
Amid the season's launch, Millie Bobby Brown accused David Harbour of bullying and harassment, prompting Netflix to launch an investigation.
