Sharing a sneak peek into the sheer effort and skill that went into the final instalment of the hit series.

The trailer opens with the cast at the final reading as Ross Duffer says in voiceover: “Writing the last lines these characters would ever say, it was really hard to do.”

The camera then pans to Noah Schnapp and Millie Bobby Brown who are crying on a couch because of the show ending.

Schnapp can then be seen cuddling into Cara Buono (who plays Karen Wheeler), as the trailer flashes pictures of the cast from the show’s earlier days- literal babies!

Adding even more emotion to the trailer- the song plays softly.
