After almost a decade, the end has come for the strange tales of four friends who battled forces of evil with the power of friendship. Netflix has released the trailer for the final episode of Stranger Things. View the Hopper-narrated clip below.

In the trailer, scenes from the previous four seasons are highlighted as David Harbour’s (Marvel’s Thunderbolts, Manhattan) Hopper motivates Millie Bobby Brown’s (Damsel, The Electric State) Eleven for the final battle. He describes how she had her childhood taken by manipulative forces, bent on hurting others to secure their own personal agendas. We are shown monumental moments from the show — the night Noah Schnapp’s (Abe, Bridge Of Spies) Will Byers vanished, the showdown at the mall, and the moment five kids learned friends don’t lie. It all culminates in the present, where we see our war-torn Hawkins heroes approaching what appears to be the Mind Flayer on a massive ship. To which Gaten Matarazzo’s (Prank Encounters, My Father’s Dragon) Dustin whispers, “Mother of God.”

If, for some reason, you aren’t caught up, the latest two volumes have found the citizens of Hawkins under military occupation as Eleven, Will, Dustin, Finn Wolfhard’s (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, It: Chapter Two) Mike, Caleb McLaughlin‘s (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) Lucas, and the rest of the gang prepare to vanquish Vecna. But this task is easier said than done when the violent monster unleashes a plan to kidnap the children of Hawkins and merge their worlds.

Season five of Stranger Things has had viewers in a chokehold, even before its Thanksgiving premiere date arrived. In the weeks leading up to the debut, the past four seasons landed in Netflix’s TV top 10, a record-breaking feat for the highest-streamed series.

Despite fans’ mixed reaction to the latest volume, thousands of viewers are locked in for the series finale. Netflix expanded locations for the two-hour episode’s theatrical release, a first for the streamer to have a series stream at home and in theaters.

Prepare for the beginning of the end of Stranger Things on New Year’s Eve only on Netflix and in a theater near you.
