Netflix has teased fans with a new trailer for the highly anticipated fifth and final season of Stranger Things. The iconic series will conclude with a bang, releasing its episodes in three distinct installments. Volume 1 is set to premiere on November 26 at 5 PM PT, followed by Volume 2 on Christmas Day (December 25) at 5 PM PT, and the grand finale on New Year's Eve (December 31) at 5 PM PT.
Each volume contains its own set of episodes, with Volume 1 featuring four episodes, Volume 2 comprising three, and the finale standing alone as its own monumental chapter. Fans across the globe can look forward to experiencing these releases simultaneously, regardless of their location, though exact timing may vary depending on local time zones.
The official synopsis hints at a darker and more intense narrative for this season. Set in the autumn of 1987, Hawkins continues to grapple with the aftermath of the Rifts' emergence. The core group of friends is united by a singular mission: locating and defeating Vecna. However, their adversary has seemingly disappeared, leaving both his whereabouts and intentions shrouded in mystery. Meanwhile, the government imposes a military quarantine on the town while intensifying its search for Eleven, compelling her to retreat into hiding once again.
As the anniversary of Will's disappearance draws near, so too does an overwhelming sense of dread. The ultimate showdown looms on the horizon, promising challenges far greater than anything the protagonists have faced thus far. United by necessity, the entire ensemble must come together one last time to face the shadows head-on.
Netflix previously unveiled the episode titles for Season 5, marking a significant milestone three years after the dramatic conclusion of Season 4.
