"You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William."
Netflix has released the opening scene of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, but if you'd rather know as little as possible going in, here's your spoiler warning.
The season premiere takes us back to the events of November 12, 1983, as we see what became of a younger Will Byers when he was trapped in the Upside Down. After attempting to escape from a Demogorgon, Will is captured and dragged in front of Vecna, who has some nefarious - not to mention disgusting - plans for the lad.
Though there is an animated spin-off on the way (it takes place between seasons 2 and 3), this will be the end of the main story.
"We do every last remaining thing we wanted to do with the Demogorgons and Mind Flayer and Vecna and the Upside Down and Hawkins and these characters,” co-creator Matt Duffer said in a recent interview with Variety. “This is a complete story. It’s done.”
Check out the clip below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
"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."
