Stranger Things Final Trailer Confirms Major Vecna Plot

Netflix has confirmed a major Stranger Things plot after releasing the final trailer for the show's epic end season.

Coming to living rooms around the world on 26 November, we're heading back to Hawkings, Indiana for one final fight against Vecna and his minions.

Set one year after season four's finale which saw Eleven seemingly kill Vecna - only for Will to sense that wasn't quite the case.

And in the new trailer, their connection is confirmed to be greater than we ever thought.

Watch it below:

"William, you are going to help me, one final time," Vecna says in the trailer while using telekinesis to carry his body through the air so that they are both face to face. Terrifying, and ultimately confirming the Stranger Things fandom link between the two characters that Will might be used by Vecna to stop the gang.

It's an action packed advert for the final outing, which is being released in two volumes, the second being on Christmas Day this year.

The finale is then coming to us on New Year's Eve, with it confirmed to be released in cinemas on a limited run in the United States.

Now that Demogorgons are flooding the streets and the town cut off from the outside, it is up to our young (or not so young anymore) group to do what they do best.

"Now we’re in the final season, we don’t have to hold anything back," co-creator Matt Duffer said in a recent interview.

Ross added, "We didn’t want to tie everything into a perfect bow, but I think we answer most questions and resolve every arc. It was our intention to write a definitive ending to this story."

It seems as though fans are already feeling the excitement thanks to this final trailer and have taken to Youtube to share their thoughts.

Stranger Things fans can't cope

““Will, you are going to help me one last time””, one fan quoted.

“Sends shivers down my spine.”

“Over 3 years ago I was in high school, skipping my computing class to watch season 4’s trailer drop. Now I’m employed and hiding in the staff bathroom to watch this. How far we’ve come!” Another added.

Finally, another fan summed up all of our feelings when they said:

"There’s only one thing more terrifying than the Upside Down …realizing this is the final ride with the Hawkins gang."

It has been a long ride indeed with Stranger Things airing for the first time way back in 2016.

Stranger Things season five airs on 26 November 2025.
