It’s almost time to return to Hawkins for one last ride, and ahead of Netflix releasing the first four episodes of Stranger Things season five this week, the company dropped one more trailer. The clip sets the stage for a final showdown with Vecna, as Demogorgons aplenty break through from the Upside Down to wreak havoc on a militarized zone and Hawkins at large.
The gang seems to have a plan to take down the series’ big bad, with Dustin saying that “I wanna see Vecna’s heart on a platter.” (Dustin is also shown with a bloody face in a few shots and I will never forgive the person or thing that harmed him or ripped his Hellfire Club shirt.) As with previous trailers, there’s lots of action and explosions here. This preview ends with Steve getting a Back to the Future moment as he — with Dustin, Nancy and Jonathan in the passenger seats — guns his car into an Upside Down portal.
Anyone who’s been watching the show over the last (gosh) nine years will be hoping that Netflix and the Duffer brothers — the Stranger Things creators and showrunners — can bring the show home with a satisfying conclusion. We’ll get a better sense of how well they’ll pull that off very soon. The first four episodes of the final season debut on Netflix at 8PM ET on Wednesday, November 26, just in time for a Thanksgiving weekend watch with loved ones. Three more episodes will land on December 25 and the finale will hit Netflix (and some theaters) on December 31.
