Tomorrow is the big day, and I don’t just mean New Year’s Eve. The series finale of Stranger Things airs tomorrow, and Netflix has released a . We only get flashes of the final episode, as well as a voiceover of an emotional Jim Hopper telling Eleven that he needs her to fight one last time.
It lasts just over a minute and 30 seconds, with what appears to be only about 30 seconds of new footage. There’s not much to go on here, as most of the footage features emotional moments from past seasons. Netflix is no doubt hoping to keep much of the excitement under wraps until tomorrow’s premiere.
Warning: some spoilers ahead for Stranger Things season 5.
Among the new images, we briefly see Vecna, hanging from the ceiling in her cave of power on her other world. There’s also an explosion at what looks like a military site, as well as a few other out-of-context flashes of our heroes.
One particularly disturbing moment shows Hopper walking through a smoke-filled room with almost zero visibility, gun drawn, when we see what appears to be Vecna appear behind him. We also see Eleven climb back into the sensory deprivation tank in the Upside Down, presumably to fight the show’s big bad.
The trailer’s only continuous scene shows most of the gang standing atop a radio tower as the world of Vecna gets close enough to collide with the tip of the tower. Dustin blurts out a “mother of God” as the so-crazy-it-might-work plan the group concocted in Chapter Seven appears to be well underway.
After nine years and five seasons, we will finally reach a conclusion for the heroes of Hawkins. The episode will air at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). For those who still want to discover the world of Hawkins after the finale, Netflix is releasing a in 2026.
