Stranger Things is coming to an end with its upcoming season on Netflix, and Ross Duffer is teasing the first two episodes.

In a new post on social media, one-half of the Duffer Brothers series creators teased that the post-production process on the first two episodes of the sci-fi series’ final season had been completed.

“Chapters One and Two: locked, mixed, scored, colored, Done,” read the caption on Instagram.

Duffer included photos of the episode titles with Chapter One being titled “The Crawl” and Chapter Two being titled “The Vanishing of…,” with the name of the character excluded to prevent spoilers.

The series creator said that “The Crawl” is their favorite episode as it is “the most eventful episode since Season 1.”

Duffer also teased that the second episode “has by far the craziest cold open we’ve ever done,...

Fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of Stranger Things season 5 for a while, and with the official release date having been announced two months ago, the excitement has only grown stronger. With the first set of episodes dropping on Netflix this November, everyone is gearing up for what will surely be an exhilarating start to the final season.

The cameras officially stopped rolling on the fifth installment back in December 2024, and the new episodes are currently being edited to perfection in post-production. We've been trying to keep ourselves busy in the meantime while we wait for Stranger Things season 5, and luckily, the cast and crew have been keeping us pretty occupied by sharing behind-the-scenes stories and other juicy deets about the show.

One of those cast members is David Harbour, who plays the beloved Jim Hopper in the hit sci-fi horror series. During a recent appearance at FanX’s Tampa Bay Comic Convention,...

Because of the show's fraught production schedule over the last few seasons, it can be tricky at times to keep the "Stranger Things" timeline straight. The first season begins in November 1983. The core group of Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin), and Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo) are in the fall of their seventh-grade year, while Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) and Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) are sophomores in high school. Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), who starts the series as more of an ineffectual villain before reforming his ways, is a junior, which would make him 16 or 17.

Since the first episode, the show has covered about two and a half years, with season 2 set a year after season 1 in 1984, season 3 taking place in the summer of 1985, and season 4 covering the spring of 1986. An official synopsis from Netflix released alongside the "Stranger Things" season 5 teaser trailer claims...

Finn Wolfhard was determined to stay in the moment. “Everyone was thinking about the end and was down, and I would just be like, ‘Yeah, but we’re all here hanging out. It’s fine,’” he recalls. “And I would push it away.” On Dec. 20, there was no more denial. He was filming the grand finale on a stage in the show’s Atlanta studio and noticed a massive crowd, including no less than Netflix co-ceo Ted Sarandos, gathering. Among the throng, Wolfhard spotted cast members Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery and Maya Hawke, who all remained in Atlanta even though they wrapped production days earlier. “I turned around from the monitors, and it was hundreds of people just hanging out for the first time in the same room after 10 years of working. And they were just watching,” he remembers. “So if that wasn’t enough of a mindfuck there,...

The stunner Zendaya has tons of people lining up at her front door, mesmerized by her beauty, including even celebrities from the entertainment industry. But did you know one Stranger Things actor also fell in that category so brutally that he actually couldn’t stop gushing in praise for the Euphoria actress? When it comes to Noah Schnapp, that’s only true.

Back in 2019, the actor unhesitantly expressed the same in a Wired Autocomplete Interview, getting candid about his adoration for the Spider-Man: Far From Home actress. Referencing an interview she did for the movie, he confessed:

I like Zendaya. She was just here, actually, and now I’m standing in her presence.

So, Tom Holland had competition when it came to the Challengers actress? Well, it sure sounds like it, considering how Schnapp unhesitantly declared his love for his crush more than a few times over the years before Holland stole her away.

If you can believe it, we're already well past halfway through 2025. We have already binge-watched a number of new hit Netflix shows like Adolescence, Ransom Canyon, and Untamed and obsessed over the last seasons of the streamer's biggest fan-favorites like The Night Agent, Ginny & Georgia, Sweet Magnolias, and of course we can't forget the final season of Squid Game.

Before the ball could even drop and welcome us to 2025, Netflix already got started with revealing a handful of release dates to get fans excited. The Night Agent season 2 helped get the year started on an action-packed note in January, as will the second season of teen rom-com series Xo, Kitty and Harlan Coben's latest mystery limited series Missing You.

The start of the year also brought some long anticipated titles like Mark L. Smith's Western miniseries American Primeval, Robert De Niro's debut television role in limited series Zero Day,...

Joseph Quinn is said to be sparking fresh rumors about his love life just weeks after an alleged split from rapper Doja Cat. Per Deuxmoi, The Fantastic Four: First Steps star was spotted with Amelia Zerbe at the exclusive Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles following the film’s premiere afterparty. An eyewitness revealed to The Sun that Quinn and Zerbe kept things discreet, leaving separately but clearly sharing a private moment. The source told the publication:

Joseph and Amelia were really low key and, when they left, they made sure they went separately. He went ahead and got into the car before Amelia joined him. It seemed like they were on a date, but were keen not for anyone to notice them.

This new sighting comes after Doja Cat denied rumors of an engagement by posting and then deleting a tweet that clarified her relationship status. The couple went public...

Joseph Quinn is back on the big screen this weekend, this time as Johnny Storm in the new Marvel superhero movie Fantastic Four: First Steps, and fans will likely be wanting to know more about his personal life.

The 31-year-old actor is best known for his role as Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things, as well as roles in movies like A Quiet Place: Day One, Gladiator II, and Warfare.

Stranger Things is all set to come to an end after nearly a decade, with the Netflix series expected to deliver all manner of horror, action, excitement, and surprises as it brings the sci-fi series phenomenon to its long-awaited conclusion. And one such surprise could be the return of a particular fan-favorite character.

Speaking with Extra TV, Stranger Things breakout Joseph Quinn, who has now joined the MCU as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch in the Marvel outing The Fantastic Four: First Steps, played things suspiciously coy when asked whether audiences should expect to see Eddie Munson make a triumphant comeback in Stranger Things Season 5.

“Oh my god, yeah, I mean, it’s going to be out soon, isn’t it? Who knows? There’s always a chance for anything, isn’t there, really? Nothing’s impossible.”

Not outright denying that Eddie, who was killed in Stranger Things Season...

The Promised Neverland is a Japanese anime series directed by Mamoru Kanbe.

The first official teaser trailer for “Stranger Things 5” arrived last week, followed soon after by social media rumors that the final season would run a tidy but daunting 19 hours long.

Don’t worry; series co-creator and showrunner Ross Duffer has officially debunked the “leaked” episode runtimes as false.

While it was highly circulated on social media that each of the final eight episodes would be feature-length, with many clocking in at two and a half hours or more, Ross Duffer shot those claims down via Instagram stories, stating that the rumored episode durations are “not even close to accurate.”

Of course, “Stranger Things” has featured robust runtimes before. The fourth season’s finale ran two hours and nineteen minutes, which only added plausibility to the circulating rumors. Especially as Duffer previously teased, “So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet. It’s like eight blockbuster movies.

Stranger Things is more popular than ever as fans get ready for the final season. According to Netflix’s latest Engagement Report, viewership of the show has been rising steadily throughout mid-2024, and now all four seasons combined have been watched for over 400 million hours in just the first half of 2025.

In total, Stranger Things picked up 404.10 million viewing hours between January and June 2025.

Season 3 was added to Netflix on July 4, 2019. Season 4 came in two parts: Volume 1 arrived on May 27, 2022, and Volume 2 followed on July 1, 2022. Even after all these years, the show keeps pulling in huge numbers.

In Netflix’s Engagement Report #5, released this week, the breakdown of the numbers shows how popular each season remains. The first season of Stranger Things was watched for 97.7 million hours and reached about 14.3 million views.

Season 2 brought in 88.6 million hours with 11.2 million views. Season 3 wasn’t far behind, with 82.3 million hours watched and 10.9 million views.

Stranger Things is still pulling in huge numbers on Netflix, and fans are clearly getting ready for the show’s big ending. According to Netflix’s latest Engagement Report, the series picked up a massive 404.10 million viewing hours in just the first half of 2025. This covers all four seasons of the hit sci-fi horror drama.

The boost in viewership started building throughout mid-2024, likely because fans were preparing for the long-awaited release of season 5. The show has consistently been one of Netflix’s most popular, but the new data shows just how strong its following remains years after its debut.

Looking at the numbers in Netflix’s report, season 4 led the way with 135.5 million hours watched globally between January and June 2025. Season 1 came in next with 97.7 million hours, followed by season 2 at 88.6 million and season 3 at 82.3 million. The report shows that people are either...

As Netflix‘s Stranger Things prepares to return for its fifth and final season this fall, fans are buzzing with new theories. Vecna’s terrifying new form may be hiding more than just injuries; it could be hiding someone else entirely, possibly Will Byers. A brief moment in the official Season 5 trailer shows Vecna with a more spiked appearance and an obscure face.

There is also a scene where Will’s face gets covered with vines. It intensifies the speculation that he’s possessing Will. This may be tied to Will’s lingering connection to the Upside Down that links him to Vecna. And could this mean Hawkins’ most haunted teen is Vecna’s final weapon? Meanwhile, Vecna’s actor also opened up about the mental toll of playing Vecna.

As the premiere draws closer,...

Netflix’s Stranger Things already dropped the trailer for its forthcoming and final season on July 16, promising that Season 5 is going to be darker than ever. With the new season still months away, it has once again paved the path open for the deaths of fan-favorite characters or given new meaning to old scenes from the earlier seasons.

This left us thinking: what if the impending doom upon Hawkins is far greater than Vecna and the dark creatures from the Upside Down? What if the danger that they are so afraid of is amongst them and would turn up on them when they least expected it? This betrayal could potentially come from Eleven, as it has been teased before by One, persuading her to jump ship.

Stranger Things Season 5 Could Turn Eleven from Savior to Destroyer

It comes as no surprise that Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) character has been doused in internal struggles.

Noah Schnapp, star of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” attended a performance of the Broadway prequel, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, ahead of the release of the final season of the show coming later this year. See photos here! The series star joined Tony nominee Louis McCartney, star of the stage show, to surprise Stranger Things fans at the stage door after the performance. Audiences at the Marquis Theater were treated to a showing of the teaser for Stranger Things 5 after the performance of Broadway show.

We, the fans of the Stranger Things series, are in for the ride for the last time. The show is going to premiere for the final season, and we can’t wait to see what happens to all our favorite characters. The series features Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, and others in the lead roles. The teaser trailer of the final season has been dropped, and left us with a lot of jitters, gasps, and excitement.

The dreadful danger is back, and so are the demogorgons. However, in the clip of 2 minutes 46 seconds, as we all were too invested to see what’s happening and what might come that there were a few easter eggs that might have been missed. Scroll ahead to find out the 3 things that could have slipped past your eyesight.

The end is coming for Hawkins, and fans now have a first look at how it will all play out. Netflix has released the first teaser for the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things.” This marks the final chapter of the popular sci-fi show that started back in 2016.

The main cast is returning one last time. Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Joe Keery, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Maya Hawke, and Jamie Campbell Bower will all be back. New faces are joining too, with Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux stepping into the story. Netflix confirmed this in their official announcement.

The teaser was shown on Stranger Things Day, the yearly event that celebrates the show. This day marks the anniversary of when Will Byers first disappeared in the show’s very first episode, way back in 1983. That episode was called “The Vanishing of Will Byers.

The final season of “Stranger Things” is finally on the way, and fans now have their first look at what’s coming next. Netflix has just dropped the first teaser trailer for season 5, and it looks like Hawkins is heading for its biggest fight yet. This will be the end of the story that started back in 2016.

All the familiar faces are coming back. Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Joe Keery, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Maya Hawke, and Jamie Campbell Bower will all return. Some new faces are joining too, like Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux.

According to Netflix, this will be the final time we see this group together.

The teaser was revealed on Stranger Things Day. That’s the yearly celebration of the show, marking the date when the first episode happened, November 6, 1983. That first episode was called “The Vanishing of Will Byers.

From fighting Demogorgons to building a beauty empire, Millie Bobby Brown has come a long way since we first met her as Eleven in Stranger Things. Back in 2016, she was the mysterious, buzzcut-wearing kid who barely spoke but somehow stole every scene. Fast-forward to today, she’s a red carpet regular, a skincare mogul, a movie star, and a newly married woman.

Over the years, we’ve watched her go from Netflix newbie to full-blown Hollywood powerhouse. She’s tackled monsters, award shows, launched a successful brand (Florence by Mills), and managed to keep it all refreshingly real. And with a wedding to Jake Bongiovi now under her belt, she’s officially in her adulting era.

So, how exactly did she go from Hawkins to headline-maker? Let’s take a year-by-year stroll through the evolution of Millie Bobby Brown, and it’s one heck of a glow-up to say the least.

Updated with the latest: Stranger Things Season 5 now has its first trailer.

The final installment of the Netflix tentpole series will arrive in three parts at the end of this year. Season 5 officially wrapped production December 2024 after it had reached the halfway point in July. Production on the final season kicked off in January 2024.

The fifth and final season of the show has been in the works ever since Part 2 of Season 4 arrived in July 2022, with the writers room for the next season opening August that year. A pandemic delaying Season 4’s arrival and then dual Hollywood strikes pushed Season 5 further than originally planned.

"I need you to fight one last time."

Netflix released the first trailer for Stranger Things 5, the fifth and final season of its massively popular '80s-set sci-fi adventure series. The teaser previews an epic battle between the Hawkins crew and the sinister interdimensional being Vecna. The story that began way back in 2016 has been building to this.

The trailer features a lot of exciting imagery without giving away a lot of plot details. The trailer starts with Steve Harrington inside of a van with a satellite dish on top outside of a radio station, and throughout the trailer, he's cranking the volume up on whatever he's broadcasting up to 1000 decibels. Over the radio, we hear Dustin Henderson counting down to the start of a "burn" — creatures from the Upside Down hate fire — while everyone else waits anxiously. Something big is about to happen. The trailer also features our first...

Hora de decirle adiós a Hawkins. © Netflix

Netflix ha revelado el primer tráiler y el póster oficial de la largamente anticipada quinta y última temporada de Stranger Things, que promete una despedida a lo grande.

Esta se sitúa en el otoño de 1987. Hawkins está marcado por la apertura de las Grietas y nuestros héroes están unidos por un único objetivo: localizar y eliminar a Vecna. Pero ha desaparecido, se desconoce su paradero y sus planes. Para dificultar su misión, el gobierno ha puesto la ciudad en cuarentena militar y ha intensificado la búsqueda de Eleven, obligándola a esconderse nuevamente. A medida que se aproxima el aniversario de la desaparición de Will, también lo hace un temor pesado y familiar. Se avecina la batalla final y, con ella, una oscuridad más poderosa y mortífera que cualquier cosa a la que se hayan enfrentado antes. Para poner fin a esta pesadilla, necesitarán que todos,...

“Let’s end this, kid,” David Harbour’s Hopper earnestly declares in the first teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things. The first volume of the sci-fi drama’s final chapter arrives November 26, followed by volume two on Christmas Day and the finale on December 31.

Season five picks up in the fall of 1987, not long after the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, has been invaded by the alternate dimension known as the Upside Down. The characters have gotten a bit older (it’s been three years since the season four finale) and the hair styles have grown a little bigger (Nancy Wheeler’s perm is…perm-ier).

The new episodes will see Hopper, Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapp), Max (Sadie Sink), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), Steven (Joe Keery), and...

We've been waiting for this for the past three years, but the first trailer for Stranger Things' fifth and final season is finally here. The sneak peek is suitably epic and is packed full of visual effects, and the promise of an epic conclusion to the series that first premiered on Netflix in 2016.

The story is still being kept largely under wraps, but we do get a first look at Terminator icon Linda Hamilton as the mysterious Dr. Kay and some huge set pieces.

Among them is a scene where the comatose Max is being dragged to safety by Lucas as invading Demogorgons close in. Vecna's terrifying new design can also be seen in the trailer's closing moments.

"Wherever this blood leads...I need you to fight one last time," Hopper tells Eleven before lobbing a few grenades. "Let's end this, kid."

In Stranger Things season 5, it's the fall of...

The nearly three-minute teaser for Netflix’s Stranger Things season five is loaded with clues and confirms the Duffer Brothers are sending off the popular series with an epic final season. The Upside Down will burn, Demodogs and the Demogorgon terrorize our Hawkins heroes, and Nancy cries as she washes blood off her hands. There’s so much to take in that repeat viewing is required.

Netflix’s first final season teaser release was accompanied by a batch of new photos.

“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,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches,...

Netflix has officially dropped the long-awaited teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of ‘Stranger Things,’ and it’s a chilling, action-packed glimpse into the darkest chapter yet. Set in the fall of 1987, the trailer teases an emotionally charged endgame as the people of Hawkins face a town under siege, from within and without.

Scarred by the catastrophic opening of the Rifts, Hawkins has been placed under military quarantine, with soldiers swarming the streets and the government intensifying its hunt for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), forcing her back into hiding. Meanwhile, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) — defeated, but not destroyed — has disappeared, and his ominous silence leaves our heroes bracing for a threat more powerful than anything they’ve faced before.

When Stranger Things on Netflix debuted in 2016, Joyce Byers was seen as the frantic, struggling mother whose life had been upended by her son Will’s disappearance. Almost a decade since its first installment, the show is now headed toward a much-anticipated finale season.

And with the announcement of a final season, have come plenty of Stranger Things theories that are predicting what is to be expected of the upcoming installment. One such fan theory has recently been surfacing on the internet and sparking discourse on Reddit. The theory talks about the possible death of Will Byers in Season 5, which will naturally take a toll on Joyce, much like Season 1. And with the Duffer Brothers promising us an explosive final season, the theory honestly does seem plausible.

Stranger Things Season 5 Might Be Gearing Up for Joyce’s Worst Nightmare

Online discussions are in full swing ahead of Stranger Things Season 5’s release.

The horror and innocence of Stranger Thingsmake it a one-of-a-kind show that fans are waiting to culminate despite a long gap between seasons. The show's cast has been teasing an emotional fifth and final season, and it will be as fans bid farewell to the long-running series. We have come a long way since Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) went missing and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) appeared in our lives, and fans' love for the show is further cemented by the new Nielsen data.

Per Deadline, Stranger Things is on Nielsen’s Top 20 streaming titles (Originals) list on #17. The list is full of new titles like Squid Game, Reacher, The Night Agent, and the likes, so for a show that hasn’t released a new episode in three years, it’s a feat. It also indicates that fans are getting an early binge going on as the fifth and final season arrives later this year.

Stranger Things fans finally have some big news to be excited about. Netflix has officially confirmed that the fifth and last season of the hit show is coming soon. This final chapter, called Stranger Things 5, will arrive in three parts. The first set of episodes will land on November 26, 2025.

More episodes will drop on December 25, and then the grand finale will come on December 31. In total, there will be eight episodes. According to Netflix, the Duffer brothers, who created the show, are once again in charge. Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen are also back to help produce the ending of the story.

The story will pick up in 1987, about a year after the events of season four. After Hawkins was torn open by rifts, the group’s new goal is simple but dangerous: find Vecna and kill him. But that mission won’t be easy. Things get even harder when...

Stranger Things is coming back for its fifth and final season, and fans won’t have to wait too long.

Netflix has confirmed that Stranger Things 5 will be released in three parts, with the first group of episodes arriving on November 26, 2025. Then more episodes will drop on December 25, and finally, the big ending will come on December 31. The season will have eight episodes in total.

Netflix has unveiled the first poster for “Stranger Things” Season 5, teasing the hit sci-fi series’ final adventure ahead of the release of its first trailer tomorrow.

Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) looms large in the poster. With its heroes failing to completely vanquish him, “Stranger Things” Season 4 concluded with the deformed villain’s plan to destroy the barrier between the Upside Down and the real world coming to fruition. That barrier is still broken in the “Stranger Things” Season 5 poster, which features Vecna’s face in a red, smoky sky hanging over Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and their friends as they ride their bikes near a burning Hawkins, Indiana.

The poster promises “one last adventure” still to come, and fans will get their first substantial look at the series’ final chapter when the first “Stranger Things” Season 5 trailer debuts online tomorrow.

When Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016, it didn’t hold back on the creepy. It had all the right ingredients for a retro-sci-fi thriller. But offscreen, things were just as deranged. The Duffer Brothers pulled off a prank so realistic it could’ve been lifted straight from the Upside Down.

Using a hyper-detailed dummy of Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, the creators managed to freak out someone very close to the actor. It’s none other than Schnapp’s own mom. And the story only gets more hilarious from here.

The tale dates back to Season 1, when Stranger Things was just making waves for its eerie storytelling and ‘80s throwbacks. The storyline centered around the disappearance of Will Byers, who is abducted by a monster and...

Before Stranger Things turned her into a sci-fi icon, Millie Bobby Brown had already delivered a standout act in a completely different genre. Back in 2014, the young performer stepped into the shoes of a character far removed from her later role as Eleven.

At just 10, she played Rachel Barnes in a Season 12 episode of NCIS, portraying a grade-schooler at the center of a murder case. What started as a typical crime drama episode ended with an unexpected twist involving Brown’s character. Her performance earned attention for its intensity and calm portrayal of a child with deadly intentions.

The final season of Stranger Things is almost here, the showdown fans have waited years to see. As the final season is set to premiere this November, fans’ theories are exploding on social media. With the release of the new trailer, one thing is becoming clear that this story was always leading back to Will Byers.

Meanwhile, Vecna, formerly Henry Creel, has tormented his victims through monstrous control. But despite all his strength, it seems like Vecna may have made a fatal mistake by linking himself with Will. The boy who’s been through more horror than anyone else in Hawkins. Fans believe that he might be Vecna’s greatest weakness. With season 5 on the horizon, all eyes are on Will.

Since the beginning of Stranger Things,...

Netflix may be the dominating streaming service this year with the return of several shows fans have been waiting patiently to watch, with more on the horizon. While some of the television shows will be airing their final seasons, others may just be getting started.

Covering a wide variety of genres from romance to the supernatural, we'll be talking about four popular shows with release dates and four we have yet to hear more about.

The second and final season of The Sandman, based on the popular, award-winning comic book series written by Neil Gaiman premieres in two parts: July 3 and July 24. Whether or not the decision to cancel the show after two seasons is due to the accusations against Gaiman remains unknown.

But what is known is the...

“So baby, raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways…” sang P!nk, and we can’t help but feel those lyrics apply to the hazy, flirtatious, and undeniably fascinating entanglement between Joseph Quinn and Doja Cat. But wait… Are they really dating? Or are we witnessing a tale that began in a social media crush and may now be dancing dangerously close to engagement rings and tabloid mayhem?

Here’s what we do know: Doja Cat and Quinn, aka the MCU’s freshly anointed Johnny Storm, were spotted multiple times together, most notably hand-in-hand in London, at an airport in Mexico, and at the Warfare after-party in LA. Their flirtatious origins date back to 2022, when Doja launched a digital love arrow at Quinn via Noah Schnapp, sparking an awkward internet episode that ended in mutual apologies.

Later in September 2024, Doja flashes a ring during her iHeartRadio...

It's an exciting time to be a fan of Stranger Things. Even though the hit Netflix original series has been off the air for what feels like a million years (but is actually only a little over three years), the franchise has continued with a stage show and an upcoming animated series spinoff ahead of the fifth and final series. There's some interesting news about the spinoff's depictions of iconic characters.

Netflix recently previewed the forthcoming animated spinoff Stranger Things: Tales from '85 and revealed new details about what to expect. The animated series has been described as a show following the characters we know and love battling new supernatural monsters in Hawkins and solving paranormal mysteries. It sounds similar to the show we have adored since day one.

But there could be some changes in store for Stranger Things: Tales from '85 that diehard fans of the series might not have anticipated.

Okay, Netflix, I see what you did, and I’m not okay. Just when I thought I had emotionally braced myself for the final chapter of Stranger Things, you dropped that missing poster like a sucker punch to the soul. It’s not just a flyer; it’s bait, it’s a breadcrumb, it’s a riddle asking who’s really looking for Jane Hopper.

With Season 5 set between November 26 and December 31, 2025, and the story reportedly leaping into Fall 1987, this poster jolts us back to June 13, 1986, when Eleven supposedly disappeared. Suddenly, our screens aren’t enough; we’re dialing numbers and decoding voice messages.

Yes, if this eerie poster and voicemail are clues, the show is preparing to pull the rug out from beneath us. This time, Hawkins isn’t trembling. It’s cracking wide open.

Eleven’s disappearance isn’t just a poster: Hawkins is hiding something? David Harbour...
