Netflix just released the trailer for the final season of ‘Stranger Things’ and it’s intense

Netflix released the official trailer for season 5 of “Stranger Things,” the final season of the wildly popular show. The trailer is intense, as might be expected, since the people of Hawkins, Ind., are trying to save the world from Vecna.

Watch it below.

The Netflix synopsis says: “The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread.

The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”

The trailer shows military operations, explosions, Demogorgons, the surreal Upside Down and our favorite cast members fighting evil. The children, now grown, are played by Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke. Winona Ryder and David Harbour return as the adults who aid the kids in their battles.

In the trailer, Hopper (David Harbour) says to Eleven: “I need you to fight one last time.”

The show will be released in parts in November and December.

It’s been nine years of alternating between exciting episodes of the massively successful show and long stretches of waiting for new installments but it looks as if the end will really come in 2025. Netflix verifies on its website that this will be the final season.

According to a video announcement for season 5, the four episodes that make up “Volume 1” will drop Nov. 26, the three episodes in “Volume 2” on Christmas Day and the last episode, the “Finale,” on New Year’s Eve.

The show has been largely filmed in small towns around Georgia, which collectively serve as Hawkins, the town where a ragtag group of kids take on the Upside Down, demogorgons and government conspiracies in the 1980s.
