Get your bicycles and flashlights ready because the trailer for the Stranger Things series finale is arrived. It’s an exciting preview of what’s in store for Hawkins.
Hopper (David Harbour) inspires Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) with a stirring speech that reminds her of her full potential as our heroes prepare for their last conflict with Vecna. He claims, “Life has been so unfair to you.” “You were robbed of your childhood, attacked, and manipulated by horrible people, but you never allowed it to break you.”
Eleven is battling for “a world beyond Hawkins” and “the days on the other side of this,” according to her surrogate father. A stunned Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) gazing up at the blazing crimson sky and Vecna’s clawed hand coming from Henry Creel’s (Jamie Campbell Bower) flesh are just two examples of what we can see in the trailer. Hopper says, “Let’s put an end to this, kid.”
Over the course of The Finale’s 125-minute denouement, there will be a lot of action. Tudum is informed by co-creator Matt Duffer that the Hawkins gang is working on a “complex plan” to save their town. In order to locate Vecna’s abducted children, they will need to merge the two realms and ascend into the Abyss. Yes, and plant a bomb to destroy all of Vecna’s monsters, including the Mind Flayer and the Abyss.
According to Duffer, “we were able to sort of lay it out in Episode 7 before we hit it into the finale.” We won’t need to spend any time conversing by the time you reach Episode 8. We can dive straight into it.
A “sense of dread or uncertainty…” permeates the final episode, according to co-creator Ross Duffer. “Eleven and Kali [Linnea Berthelsen] exchange a gaze and a moment where it appears like Eleven has accepted Kali’s idea to remain in the Upside Down before it blows up. Therefore, there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen to Eleven, even if they are successful.
