"I need you to fight. One last time," Hopper (David Harbour) says tearfully to Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) inside the Upside Down as the crew mounts one last attempt to save the world.
"Life has been so unfair to you," he says. "Your childhood was taken from you. You've been attacked, manipulated by terrible people, but you never let it break you. Fight for the days on the other side of this. Fight for a world beyond Hawkins. Let's end this, kid."
Watch the trailer above.
Stranger Things 5 picks up eighteen months after the events of Season 4, when the crew finally reunited back in Hawkins only for Vecna to split the earth open as he began his mission to reshape the world. Over the course of the first seven episodes, Season 5 has answered many of the mysteries of the Upside Down , including what, exactly, it even is.
However, for all the questions answered, particularly in Volume 2, there are still some lingering loose ends to tie up , mainly regarding the remaining pieces of Henry's backstory and the enduring MKUltra experiments, which are responsible for creating Eleven and, by proxy, the Upside Down in the first place.
"The goal is to tie up the remaining loose ends and answer any questions that remain," creator Ross Duffer teased to Deadline in an interview for Volume 2, promising a satisfying conclusion to the series.
Stranger Things cast and crew have set some grand expectations for the finale. Executive producer and director Shawn Levy (who directed Episode 6, "Escape from Camazotz," and co-directed Episode 7, "The Bridge," with the Duffers) paraphrased star Finn Wolfhard's enthusiasm about it, telling Deadline:
"I'll say something that I think Finn said, but I'll say it with even more fervor having watched the finale episode recently. It's one of the best finale episodes of any show that I've ever seen," Levy said. "And I am so knocked out by the mastery that the Duffers show in the finale episode. I can't wait for the world to see it. I can't wait for them to see it on the biggest, loudest screen possible, because that's what it deserves."
Added Wolfhard, "Couldn't have said it better myself, something that I've said myself."
The Stranger Things finale arrives in theaters and on Netflix at 5 p.m. PT New Year's Eve.
