What the Teaser Reveals
The footage is heavy on special effects, spectacle and the sprawling cast looks full of intense emotions while keeping the storylines largely under wraps. The new trailer teases the final battle with Vecna.
Official Plot Synopsis
“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.”
Release Schedule
The new season will be released in three parts, all around holiday weekends: Volume 1 on Nov. 26 (consisting of four episodes), Volume 2 on Christmas (three episodes) and The Finale on New Year’s Eve. Each will drop at 5 p.m. PT
Episode Titles
The season five episode titles are: “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of [censored for now]” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge” and “The Rightside Up.”
Scale and Scope
Co-creator Ross Duffer said about the final episodes, “We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, we’d captured over 650 hours of footage. So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies. It’s pretty insane.”
The teaser marks the beginning of the end for the beloved Netflix series, which has been a cultural phenomenon since its debut in 2016. You can watch the official teaser on Netflix’s YouTube channel and social media platforms.
