Revealing the synopsis of the fifth and final season, the streaming giant wrote, “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,” referring to the series’ main villain, Henry Creel/ Peter Ballard/ 001 or One, a psychopathic humanoid being with psychic powers, played by Jamie Campbell Bower.
According to Netflix, Vecna has vanished, and his whereabouts and plans are unknown. Complicating the protagonists’ mission was the government’s move to place Hawkins under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding.
The heroine Eleven, like Henry Creel, has psychokinetic and telepathic abilities. She is played by Millie Bobby Brown.
“As the anniversary of Will’s 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 they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone—the full party—standing together, one last time,” Netflix said.
A two-minute teaser that looks back on the characters’ journey from Season 1 to 4 was also released on YouTube on Saturday, June 1.
“The fight isn’t over yet,” the caption read.
Aside from Brown and Bower, returning for the much anticipated season finale are cast members Winona Ryder, David Harbour , Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, and Maya Hawke, among others. /edv
