By the end of the year, streaming platform Netflix will be saying goodbye to one of its most popular and successful shows, Stranger Things. The fifth and final season is rolling out soon, and the trailer for the same is finally out. The gang members are coming together for one big and final hoorah before the show rides off into the sunset and creators Matt and Ross Duffer sign off.
Right from the start of the trailer, the tension builds to a crescendo as the background score and visuals together paint a grim picture of what lies ahead. We are somewhat given an introduction to the main antagonist of the show, the final boss if you will. Hailed by the creators to be an upgraded version of Vecna, the villain Henry Creel has moved his base to the ‘upside down’ version of the Hawkins town hall.

He looks like he is rallying his army, but so are the good guys. Mike Wheeler can be seen talking to his friends and telling them that they have to put an end to everything, once and for all. However, some bits and clips suggest that the series might not be heading towards a completely positive ending. Eleven can be seen telling Mike, “This isn’t one of your campaigns. You don’t get to write your ending, not this time.” Another concerning shot is where One gains control of Will Byers in the final scene of the trailer and tells him that he needs his help “one last time”.
The first volume of the final season will be released on November 26, while the second volume will come out on Christmas. The final episode will be available on New Year’s Eve.
Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, the cast of the show includes Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, Joe Kerry, Winona Ryder and David Harbour.
