🎬 Trailer Highlights: Back for One Last Ride

Netflix dropped the first full-length trailer for the final season, set in the fall of 1987. Hawkins is under military lockdown following the invasion of portals to the Upside Down, brimming with Demogorgons and demodogs amid controlled burns meant to contain the chaos.

The trailer gives us powerful glimpses:

• Vecna's chilling return - He steps material‑like from a flesh wall, whispering the haunting "Found you."

• Eleven in hiding, hunted by the military while the gang rallies at a rock station to blast Loud Music - a weak point of Vecna’s. Expect another iconic song moment with a ’70s metal anthem fueling the battle.

• Max remains comatose, guarded in hospital; Eddie Munson’s grave is desecrated, a sign of fallout from past events.

• Linda Hamilton debuts as Dr. Kay, exuding Terminator-style badass energy, hinting at a pivotal new ally.

• We see emotional moments: Joyce, Hopper, Steve, Dustin, Will’s terror (“RUN!”), Mike and Lucas forming a united front.

💀 Creatures & Characters Making a Return

The trailer teases an army of Upside Down beasts - Demogorgons and demodogs roam Hawkins despite military efforts.

Key returning characters include:

• Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), David Harbour (Hopper), Winona Ryder (Joyce), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Sadie Sink (Max), Joseph Quinn (Eddie via grave & memory) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna).
