The folks from Hawkins are in for a wild ride. Demogorgons are tearing through the soldiers who tried to lock down Hawkins, and Lucas is stuck in an elevator with Max, who's still unconscious, while a scary Demo-dog is hot on their trail. Meanwhile, Eleven and Hopper are off on their own adventure in the Upside Down, and Mike is watching Joyce freak out about her son Will. The creators, the Duffer brothers, say this is it—they're wrapping up everything with the Demogorgons, the Mind Flayer, Vecna, the Upside Down, Hawkins, and all the characters. They're calling it a complete story. The show has a bunch of familiar faces, like Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin, Joe Keery as Steve, and new additions like Linda Hamilton, who's joining as a military leader in Hawkins. The final season is split into two parts, with the first four episodes dropping on November 26, the next three on December 25, and the finale on New Year's Eve. Netflix is even releasing the finale in theaters, which is a big deal. The final season was written by the Duffers and a few other writers, and directed by the Duffer brothers, Frank Darabont, and Shawn Levy. It's all leading up to a big finish.
