Netflix have confirmed the release date for Stranger Things’ final season as well as releasing the first footage.

The Netflix series, one of the most successful in the history of the platform, is set to finally come to an end after almost a decade.

The series spawned the careers of several stars, with the returning Millie Bobby Brown by the far the biggest name to come out of the series.

Whilst the Stranger Things stars may not exactly look quite the same age as their Hawkins characters, interest is still sky high in the final showdown between Eleven and the forces of the Upside-Down.

Check out the first look trailer here:

The first look footage confirms that the series is set to be released in three parts.

Volume 1 will release November 26, with Volume 2 releasing on Christmas Day. Then, finally, Volume 3 will see the show come to a close on New Year’s Eve, 2025.

The footage shows Hawkins fully under attack by the Upside-Down, confirming what was hinted at in season four's finale.

One fan responding to the footage simply went: "CHILLS", whilst another said: "OMG 3 parts? How many episodes are we getting? Please let it be good and dont f this up!"

Whilst it has previously been confirmed that the final season will be eight episodes long, fans were less than pleased to find out that the series would be releasing in three parts.

Responding on Twitter, one fan said: "Netflix getting wayyy to comfortable with this "volume" bullsh*t."

Another said: "THREE PARTS MAKE IT STOP."

A third fan pointed out that for many, releasing the finale on New Years Eve will make it near impossible to watch on the first night, leaving the likelihood of spoilers incredibly high.

Regardless, most seemed thrilled at the footage, with one fan simply saying: "the NOSTALGIA this show gives me is insane. i'm not ready for it to end."

Though Netflix have remained tight lipped on what to expect from the final season of Stranger Things, they have given away some details.

The Duffer Brothers, the creators of the show, stated that the final season would essentially be 'eight blockbuster movies' and hinted that they filmed 'over 650 hours of footage'.

Matt Duffer however has hinted that, whilst the story that kicked off the show is coming to an end, that didn't necessarily spell the end for Stranger Things.

He said: "While this might be the end of the story for Mike, Hopper, Dustin, Lucas, Eleven, and the others, it’s not goodbye for Stranger Things. There are many more stories to tell."

By the end of 2025 however, the story for the characters of Stranger Things we've come to know and love will indeed come to an end.
