Stranger Things star Joe Keery left Hawkins for the thrill that has now taken a surprising turn. Graduating from the Demogorgons to a horror-comedy twist in Cold Storage alongside action legend Liam Neeson, Keery shines bright. The newest trailer for the movie shows a thrilling mix of bioterror, fungus-zombies, and dark humor that might just revitalize Keery's post-Stranger Things reputation with one daring move. A brainchild of the screenwriter of Jurassic Park and the producer of Zombieland, the movie presents a quiet night shift, where everything goes wrong.

The newly unveiled Cold Storage trailer features Liam Neeson as a veteran bioterror agent who is caught up in a total underground crisis when the parasitic fungus escapes confinement. Joe Keery plays the role of Teacake, a young employee at the storage facility whose working hours change into a battle to stay alive. The trailer promises exploding heads, body horror, and strange comedic moments, making it very much like a cross between zombie-apocalypse classics and cult horror comedies. It is rated R for its violence and gore. 

Prepared to be grossed out while on an adrenaline rush, as Joe Keery leads the upcoming sci-fi horror comedy film with Georgina Campbell (Barbarian, The Watchers), Sosie Bacon (Smile), Vanessa Redgrave (Mission: Impossible), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) from Studio Canal and Samuel Goldwyn Films. Based on David Koepp's debut novel, the film will be unleashed in theatres on February 13, 2026. Expect Keery in full monster-killer mode, offering viewers a funny and refreshing horror flick that even the most devoted Stranger Things fans might find redeeming through its camp and chaos, as he says goodbye to Hawkins.

Though Netflix's sci-fi epic is coming to an end, Joey Keery seems rest assured when it comes to the fate of his character Steve Harrington. 

Joe Keery's satisfaction with the ending of season 5 has calmed the hearts of Stranger Things devotees who were worried about the grim predictions leading up to the demise of major characters. Speaking with ExtraTV, Keery reflected, “I was very happy, though, with the way it wrapped up for me, personally." Adding to his revelations, Keery assured the world that the ending the Duffer brothers have reserved for Steve Harrington would inevitably be loved by all. 

The fifth and final season of the Netflix blockbuster picks up in 1987, reuniting the Hawkins heroes to find and kill Vecna, which is easier said than done. On top of the foreseeable chaos, co-creator Matt Duffer told Netflix that “nothing in Hawkins is normal anymore," letting out a warning. But at least Steve Harrington hopefully makes it out alive. Meanwhile, as viewers, buckle up for one last Stranger Things adventure this November, Joe Keery promises not only a great ending but also a new beginning, carrying forward his monster-fighting skills in his upcoming horror flick.
