Overview
- The official trailer positions the final season as a high-stakes fight in fall 1987 with Hawkins under military quarantine and Eleven operating at heightened power.
- Footage shows Vecna confronting Will Byers, underscoring the villain’s central role in the endgame without revealing story outcomes.
- Netflix confirms Volume 1 arrives November 26 (four episodes), Volume 2 on December 25 (three episodes), and the series finale on December 31, with a limited theatrical release in the U.S. and Canada.
- The Duffer Brothers say the trailer contains shots from every episode, including the finale, and note a brief red energy flare that becomes significant later in the season.
- Netflix shifts the drop time to evening globally, and early episode runtimes shared by Ross Duffer indicate roughly hour-long chapters with a longer Episode 4; fan-surfaced press-image metadata hinting at a Volume 1 cliffhanger remains unconfirmed.
