The end is nigh for HBO Max Original Search Party. Highly praised by critics, the comedy series is set to debut its final season in early January, and earned itself a new trailer that showcases the new lengths the show is willing to go for its final run. The series originally followed a group of friends that searched for a missing girl in a messy investigation, but many turns have been taken in this journey since, as the trailer reveals.

The trailer for season five shows off Dory (Alia Shawkat) transcending reality as she recovers from a near-death experience, leading her to join forces with tech billionaire Tunnel Quinn (Jeff Goldblum), who believes in spiritual enlightenment. It only gets worse as new-Dory starts to gather believers and announces a revolution is coming, cult-style.

Of course, the same trailer also reveals that enlightenment is not all it’s cracked up to be as the police get involved, Dory starts getting confronted, lab rats are poisoned, and even creepy children pop up to make things even weirder. “Humanity’s true nature will be revealed”, and we get to laugh about it.
