A teaser for the fifth and final season of Netflix's hit supernatural drama Stranger Things has been released, which counts Irish actress Amybeth McNulty among its cast members.
The streaming service has also announced the release dates for the final instalment of the series, with Volume 1 launching on 26 November, Volume 2 landing on 25 December and the finale debuting on 31 December.
A description of the season reads: "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 blurb continues.
"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."
Created by The Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery and Maya Hawke.
Co Donegal star McNulty plays Vickie in the show, a student at Hawkins High School who plays the clarinet in the school band. She is described as "quirky, friendly, fast-talking, and clearly has a unique personality that stands out from the crowd".
