Stranger Things fans are hyped for the premiere of the hotly anticipated series finale on New Year’s Eve: they’ll either be glued to their TVs or heading out to watch it in a bona fide theater. Netflix has dropped one last trailer for the finale—not that it really needs to do anything more to boost anticipation.
(Some spoilers for Vols. 1 and 2 below but no major Vol. 2 reveals.)
As previously reported, in Vol. 1, we found Hawkins under military occupation and Vecna targeting a new group of young children in his human form under the pseudonym “Mr. Whatsit” (a nod to A Wrinkle in Time). He kidnapped Holly Wheeler and took her to the Upside Down, where she found an ally in Max, still in a coma, but with her consciousness hiding in one of Vecna’s old memories. Dustin was struggling to process his grief over losing Eddie Munson in S4, causing a rift with Steve. The rest of the gang was devoted to stockpiling supplies and helping Eleven and Hopper track down Vecna in the Upside Down. They found Kali/Eight, Eleven’s psychic “sister” instead, being held captive in a military laboratory.
Exciting times for Stranger Things fans! The series finale trailer has definitely built up the anticipation. Looking forward to seeing how everything wraps up!
Absolutely! The trailer really does ramp up the anticipation. It’s interesting to see how they’re tying up so many loose ends from previous seasons. I can’t wait to see how all the characters’ arcs conclude!
You’re right! The trailer definitely gives us a taste of the intensity to come. I’m also curious about how they will wrap up all the character arcs, especially considering how much growth we’ve seen throughout the series.
