Remember that little-known Netflix show, Stranger Things? A new trailer is here to remind us that the super-famous sci-fi series is coming back later this year, and things in Hawkins are looking ominous.
Fans are preparing to say goodbye to the iconic series with the release of the fifth and final season over three separate drops. The first four episodes will debut on Nov. 26, followed by three more on Dec. 25 and one more on Dec. 31. We last saw Eleven and the rest of the gang more than three years ago in season 4, where they went up against the villainous Vecna, an enemy that will continue to pose a threat in season 5.
9 years ago, the adventure began.

A season 5 synopsis sets the scene: «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,» it continues, «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 Netflix phenomenon premiered nine years ago yesterday, and dedicated viewers have watched its cast members, such as Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Noah Schnapp grow older over the show’s four seasons. New cast members in season 5 include Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux and Linda Hamilton.
