Fans will notice that Sadie Sink‘s Max is not featured at all in this new trailer, and her character’s fate was up-in-the-air at the end of season four.

Here’s the logline: 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 final season is expected to debut in three parts over the holidays in 2025. Part 1 will be released on November 26th, Part 2 on Christmas Day, and Part Three on New Year’s Eve.

Meanwhile, the full cast list can be found here, and there’s 2 stars who have exited the series ahead of the debut!
