Gear up \u2014 the battle for Hawkins begins in just a few days.\n<\/p>\n
The final trailer has arrived for Volume 1 of Stranger Things<\/a> season 5, teasing the gang’s plan to take their final stand against Vecna, the creature once known as Henry Creel (played by Jamie Campbell Bower).\u00a0\n<\/p>\n The fifth and final season of the nostalgic sci-fi saga picks up in the fall of 1987, more than a year after the events of season 4. After being sprawled out across the globe, the team is back together for the fight of their lives. But things in Hawkins have changed: The military is occupying the town, and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown<\/a>) is back in hiding, training for Vecna’s re-emergence as she dodges the government. Eventually, a rebuilt Vecna returns \u2014 and the young warriors must spring into action.\n<\/p>\n Noah Schnapp as Will and Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna on ‘Stranger Things’.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Netflix<\/p>\n If you thought the Battle of Starcourt <\/a>was rough, you’d better brace yourself for the horrors on the horizon. The Hawkins crew aren’t just fighting the Mind Flayer this time \u2014 they’re going head-to-head with 001 himself. And they’re not kidding around.\n<\/p>\n “We have a plan,” Mike (Finn Wolfhard<\/a>) declares. “It’s a bit insane.”\n<\/p>\n “What could go wrong?” asks a nervous Robin (Maya Hawke<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n “No idea,” replies Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo<\/a>). “But I think we should find out.”\n<\/p>\n The trailer indeed finds the gang up to their usual chaotic, perilous antics: speeding down the streets of Hawkins, averting military attention, and wielding fire and crowbars against demodogs. There are also glimpses of El using her psychic powers while her friends work to detonate some explosives.\n<\/p>\n In one ominous moment, the original crew \u2014 Mike, Dustin, Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Will (Noah Schnapp) \u2014 plot their next course of action.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n “Everyone in?” Dustin asks, as they put their hands together.\n<\/p>\n Wearing his Hellfire Club shirt in honor of their fallen friend Eddie, he then declares, “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter.”\n<\/p>\n Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, and Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair in ‘Stranger Things’ season 5.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Netflix<\/p>\n The footage concludes with Steve (Joe Keery), Dustin, Nancy (Natalia Dyer), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) barreling towards a blazing, terrifying opening into the Upside Down.\n<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
