Season 5 takes place in the fall of 1987, when life in Hawkins looks very different from the small Indiana town viewers know well by now.

“Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna,” reads the Season 5 synopsis. “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.”

It continues, “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.”

Stranger Things Season 5, Vol. 2 premieres Dec. 25 at 8 p.m. ET.

The season finale premieres Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET.
