The final season of Stranger Things<\/a> approaches, and Netflix has dropped a terrifying new trailer just in time for Halloween. Stranger Things Season 5 will drop its first batch of episodes on Nov. 26.<\/p>\n

The new trailer gives fans their best look yet at the fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit sci-fi horror series. In the clip, Vecna looms closer as Netflix teases “At long last…we can begin.” Clips then appear of the desperate situation in Hawkins, with the characters beginning to realize the danger that awaits them in the final episodes. Stranger Things Season 5 will be set a year after the events of the fourth season, with the cast of characters looking to finally hunt down and kill Vecna<\/a> after the Rifts opened in Hawkins \u2014 but their mission is made even more difficult when the military arrives in the town and begins hunting Eleven. Episodes are scheduled to drop in three parts, with two volumes arriving on Nov. 26 and Dec. 25, and a finale following on Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

The conclusion of Stranger Things’ story will see many returning faces, including Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Cara Buono, and Jamie Campbell Bower. Some new faces will also be making their way into the mix, with Amybeth McNulty confirmed to appear as Vickie after having a guest role in Season 4. Linda Hamilton (The Terminator) has also joined the cast as Dr. Kay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new season marks the end of Netflix’s massively popular series, as well as the first time fans are getting new episodes in over three years following Season 4’s conclusion in July 2022. Netflix is gearing up to make the end of the Stranger Things era one for the record books, and it’s been rumored that the two-hour-long series finale will also be shown on the big screen<\/a> at AMC and other theater chains on Dec. 31 \u2014 the same day it drops on the streamer.<\/p>\n

Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer have also teased that fans will finally get answers to the questions they’ve been asking for years now when the series is completed. This includes the answer to the origins of the Upside Down<\/a>, the dark, parallel dimension that has plagued the show’s cast. They teased: “Every season would be like, \u2018Should we talk about it?\u2019 And we’d go, \u2018No, let\u2019s wait.\u2019 And then finally, we\u2019re like, \u2018Well, we have to now!\u2019”<\/p>\n

Stranger Things Season 5 is Only the Beginning<\/p>\n

The upcoming final season of Stranger Things may be the end of an era, but it’s shaping up to be only the beginning for the franchise. Earlier this year, the Duffer Brothers confirmed multiple offshoots of Stranger Things were in development<\/a>. “It\u2019s not goodbye for Stranger Things,” Matt said, confirming “There are many more stories to tell.” This included Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the franchise’s stage play that tells a prequel story.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very important to us that anything with the Stranger Things name on it is of the highest quality and not repetitive, that it has a reason to exist and always blazes its own path,” he continued. “And also, it needs to basically just be awesome \u2014 or we need to think it\u2019s awesome. And there are a lot of what we think are awesome things in the pipeline.” Exact details about any new Stranger Things spin-offs have not been officially announced at this time.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things Season 5 will kick off with its first batch of episodes arriving on Netflix on Nov. 26.<\/p>\n
