The latest trailer for Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 teases the show’s final blaze of glory, including bold new displays of power from Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), an “insane” plan to save Hawkins, and — wait, did three Demogorgons just burst out of the ground?

You read that correctly. While the Demogorgon was once a lone monster stalking our heroes, there’s now a whole army of them out for blood. In the new trailer, several Demogorgons burst out of mini-rifts into the Upside Down and give chase to the Hawkins party, leaving Robin (Maya Hawke) to very understandably ask, “What the hell just happened?”
These three Demogorgons don’t appear to be acting alone, as the trailer also features scenes where Demogorgons lay the smackdown on some soldiers. Frankly, one Demogorgon is already one too many for my sanity! Beyond that, I’m not sure I can handle the sheer volume of Demogorgons we’re going to get this season.
Season 5 picks up in November of 1987, almost a year after the events of Season 4. Following the opening of the rift between the Upside Down and our world, Hawkins is under military surveillance, and the government is still searching for Eleven. Despite the ongoing manhunt, she and the rest of her friends are determined to find and stop Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) once and for all. But there are a ton of obstacles — including at least three Demogorgons! — in their way.
If this is what’s in store for Volume 1, what in the world is going to happen in Volume 2?
