Oh boy, are you READY for more Stranger Things?! 🙄 Because Netflix clearly thinks we haven’t had enough of this 80s nostalgia-fest. Volume 1 of the *FINAL* season (they swear!) drops this Thursday, November 27th, at the crack of dawn (1am GMT, because Netflix hates sleep). The trailer? Unveiled at some fancy-pants bike ride event. Because what screams “fighting interdimensional monsters” more than a leisurely cycle down Melrose Avenue? 🚴♀️🚴♂️
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 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..
So, Hawkins is trashed (again). Vecna’s playing hide-and-seek (classic villain move). The government’s hunting Eleven (because she’s *totally* the problem). And Will’s disappearance is still a plot point (seriously, LET IT GO). Get ready for more contrived drama, convenient plot armor, and teenagers saving the world AGAIN. 🌎
The fight isn’t over yet! (Surprise!) Brace yourselves for the “epic” series finale. Expect lots of screaming, questionable CGI, and emotional speeches that will make you roll your eyes so hard, you’ll see your brain. 🧠
Volume 1: November 27, 2025 @ 1am GMT
Volume 2: December 26, 2025 @ 1am GMT
The Finale: January 1, 2025 @ 1am GMT

Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
