Netflix isn’t just handing over all episodes of Stranger Things 5. That’d be too easy. The streamer is following their season 4 strategy by splitting the final season of their mega hit show into multiple parts.

Presented by stars Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp during Saturday’s Tudum live event, where Netflix showcases their upcoming titles, a video teaser announced that Stranger Things 5 will be split into three premieres. Volume 1 will arrive on Nov. 26, Volume 2 on Christmas, and the finale on New Year’s Eve.

“I can’t believe how much we all have grown and learned throughout the show,” Wolfhard said, as the actor trio reflected on their beginnings on the show while sharing a retrospective look back on the series from its infancy all the way until now.

Watch the new footage below:

The fifth and final season’s premiere episode is titled “The Crawl” and will pick up in the fall of 1987, which is more than a year after the events of season 4. The last time we saw the gang, Max (Sadie Sink) was unresponsive in the hospital, watched over closely by Lucas (McLaughlin). Meanwhile, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Wolfhard), Will (Schnapp), Hopper (David Harbour), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) stood aghast as horrors from the Upside Down poured into their world through various portals.

Episode 2’s title is currently redacted in official Netflix materials, but it teases “The Vanishing of…” someone. The other installments of the eight-episode final season are titled “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.”

Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the franchise’s Broadway play, also offers clues about the final season. The prequel goes back to the origins of the young Henry Creel/future Vecna to show how he’s not necessarily evil but rather possessed by dark Upside Down forces beyond his control.

Series co-creator Ross Duffer teased at an earlier Netflix preview event in January with brother Matt, “We spent a full year filming this season. By the end, we had captured over 650 hours of footage. So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies. It’s pretty, pretty insane.”

Stranger Things 5 Vol. 1 hits Netflix on Nov. 26.
