Netflix has released the official full trailer for Stranger Things final season.

Below is the new footage for season five of the Netflix coming-of-age sci-fi smash. The official trailer is nearly three minutes long and is stuffed with bombastic special effects, intense emotion (a lot of tears), plenty of action and one mean Vecna.

We kind of hit the ground running right away this season, which is really exciting and not how weve started any other season, says Noah Schnapp, who plays Will, in a statement from Netflix. Everyone is all in one place and we all have the same objective. Theyre not experiencing normal life, added co-creator Matt Duffer. Nothing in Hawkins is normal anymore their movement is restricted, and there are Big Brother cameras everywhere. So not only are they active their everyday, normal lives are anything but.

Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, teased that her character is in training mode at the start of the season. Shes in a warrior state, she said. As for her mindset, all she is thinking about is protecting her friends. Her friends are her chosen family, so she will do whatever it takes to protect them and were going to see that.

The new season will be released in three parts, all around holiday weekends: Volume 1 on Nov. 26 (consisting of four episodes), Volume 2 on Christmas (three episodes) and The Finale on New Years Eve. Each will drop at 5 p.m. PT.

Heres the official description of the new season: The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Wills disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything theyve faced before. To end this nightmare, theyll need everyone the full party standing together, one last time.

Back in January, co-creator Ross Duffer said about the final episodes, We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, wed captured over 650 hours of footage. So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. Its like eight blockbuster movies. Its pretty insane.

While co-creator Dufferadded, At the same time, we think its our most personal story. It was super intense and emotional to film, for us and for our actors. Weve been making this show together for almost 10 years. There was a lot of crying. There wassomuch crying. The show means so much to all of us, and everyone put their hearts and souls into it. And we hope and believe that passion will translate to the screen.

In November, Netflix announced theseason five episode titlesto tease the story arc of the season: The Crawl, The Vanishing of [censored for now], The Turnbow Trap, Sorcerer, Shock Jock, Escape From Camazotz, The Bridge and The Rightside Up.

The creators have also previously teased upcoming projects in theStranger Thingsuniverse.

There are moreStranger Thingsstories to tell and in the works, Matt said. Its a bit early at this point to talk about them, but were deeply involved in every one its very important to us that anything with theStranger Thingsname on it is of the highest quality and not repetitive that it has a reason to exist and always blazes its own path. And also, it needs to basically just be awesome. Or we need to think its awesome. And there are a lot of what we think are awesome things in the pipeline.
