TRAILER: Tune into the trailer for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, the Netflix sci-fi phenomenon that will see its unlikely band of heroes reunite for one final adventure this November.

Set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana, when a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm.

Now in the fall of 1987 and after the events of S4, Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, but Vecna has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. The government has also 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.
