The upcoming season is described as “the biggest season we’ve ever had in terms of action, in terms of visual effects, in terms of story.” The final season is set in the fall of 1987, after Hawkins has been scarred by the opening of the rifts. The main goal of the heroes is to find and kill Vecna, who has vanished. The mission is further complicated by the government placing the town under military quarantine and intensifying its hunt for Eleven, forcing her into hiding. The full cast is expected to return for one last battle. The series will be released in three parts:
- Volume 1 (4 episodes): November 26, 2025
