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, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming—and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone—the full party—standing together, one last time.”
The series stars Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, and Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair. Noah Schnapp is Will Byers, Sadie Sink plays Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer is Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton is Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery is Steve Harrington, and Maya Hawke is Robin Buckley.
Rounding out the ensemble are Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair, Brett Gelman as Murray, Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna, Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler, Amybeth McNulty as Vickie, Nell Fisher as Holly Wheeler, Jake Connelly as Derek Turnbow, Alex Breaux as Lt. Akers, and Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay.
Stranger Things season five Volume 1 premieres on November 26, 2025 at 5pm PT. Volume 2 arrives on December 25 at 5pm PT, and the finale streams on December 31 at 5pm PT.

First-time feature filmmaker Eva Victor earned the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award: U.S. Dramatic award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival for Sorry, Baby. Victor (Billions) also stars in this profoundly moving dramedy, which tackles sexual assault and its lasting effects with raw honesty.
Sorry, Baby doesn’t show the assault. The word rape is barely uttered. Instead, Victor assumes the audience knows exactly what happened. Refusing to grant the attacker any power in her story, Victor’s screenplay figuratively tosses the character onto the trash heap and laser-focuses on the survivor.
Sorry, Baby is told in chapters, and it’s not until Chapter Two-“The Year with the Bad Thing”-that the attack occurs. Before that happens, Chapter One establishes the close relationship between Agnes (Victor) and her ride-or-die best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie, Blink Twice). They share an easygoing bond, even closer than most sisters.
Agnes continues to live in the house she shared with Lydie during their college years and is now the youngest full-time professor in the English department at the college they attended. The fact she chooses to remain at this college after the bad thing happened shows her inner strength and unwillingness to allow her rapist to control her life moving forward.
Chapter Two takes the action back a few years to when they were grad students working on their theses. Professor Decker (Louis Cancelmi, also from Billions) is Agnes and Lydie’s thesis advisor and a fan of Agnes’ writing. Life for Agnes, up until this point, has been relatively good. And then the bad thing happens.
It’s during the period immediately following Agnes’ sexual assault that both Victor’s writing and acting really shine. Victor convincingly portrays Agnes’ recounting of the rape to Lydie, capturing a sense of shock and dissociation, as if the event were experienced from outside herself, through a blurry filter. It’s also from this point forward in the film that Naomi Ackie’s Lydie is fully developed as a fiercely loyal friend who would bury a body if asked without pausing to consider the ramifications. (We could all use a Lydie in our lives.)
When Agnes brings home a kitten, Lydie tells her to do whatever she needs. And when Agnes wants to burn down her rapist’s office, Lydie volunteers to do it for her. Would Agnes begin to heal without Lydie? Yes. But having Lydie at her side makes the process much less scary. Agnes doesn’t have to go through the stages of trauma recovery alone.
Eva Victor’s Sorry, Baby is more than just a solid first feature. The moving, sometimes hysterical, and often heartbreaking dramedy signals the arrival of a filmmaker with a unique voice capable of honestly portraying difficult subjects. In Agnes, Eva Victor has created a character who’s vulnerable yet resilient, a character audiences empathize with, embrace, and want to support through her journey. She’s complex, imperfect, and, most importantly, undeniably relatable.
GRADE: A
Sorry, Baby premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award: U.S. Dramatic.
Riverdale‘s KJ Apa and Outer Banks‘ Madelyn Cline team up in an adaptation of J.P. Monninger’s 2017 novel, The Map That Leads to You. The lengthy trailer shows how the onscreen couple meet and how an instant connection changes their plans for the future.

The Map That Leads to You premieres on August 20, 2025 on Prime Video.
“The Map That Leads to You follows Heather (Cline), a young woman setting off on an adventure across Europe with her best friends before settling into her perfectly planned life. When she crosses paths with Jack (Apa), a magnetic and mysterious stranger, their instant spark ignites an emotional journey neither of them expected,” reads Amazon MGM Studios’ synopsis. “As their connection deepens, secrets, life choices, and hidden truths will test their bond—and change her life in ways she never imagined. From director Lasse Hallström comes this adaptation of JP Monninger’s novel about love, destiny, and the courage to choose your own path.”

George Lucas is heading not to a galaxy far far away, but to San Diego for the 2025 Comic-Con. The panel planned for Sunday, July 27th will mark the first time the filmmaker has been confirmed to participate in the popular culture convention.
Four-time Oscar nominee George Lucas will appear with three-time Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro and Oscar winner Doug Chiang in SDCC’s largest hall, Hall H, which seats 6,500. Grammy winner Queen Latifah will moderate the “Sneak Peek of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art” panel that will focus on “the power of illustrated stories and the role of narrative art in society. From ancient cave drawings and hieroglyphics to paintings, murals, illustrations, comics, digital media, and sculptures, this panel will delve into the universal language of illustrated storytelling.”
Commenting on the much-anticipated panel, David Glanzer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer of Comic-Con, said, “We are beyond thrilled to welcome George Lucas to Comic-Con for the very first time. Nearly five decades ago, Star Wars made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention, along with a booth featuring Howard Chaykin’s now legendary Star Wars poster as a promotional item. Now, to have Mr. Lucas return—this time to debut the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art—is a true full-circle moment. His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community, and the museum’s mission to celebrate narrative art in all its forms perfectly reflects what Comic-Con has championed from the very beginning.”
George Lucas is a co-founder of the museum, and Guillermo del Toro serves on the Lucas Museum’s Board of Directors.
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is scheduled to open in Los Angeles’s Exposition Park in 2026. The 300,000-square-foot building will feature works by Norman Rockwell, Kadir Nelson, Jessie Willcox Smith, N. C. Wyeth, Beatrix Potter, Judy Baca, Frida Kahlo, and Maxfield Parrish. Works by comic artists Winsor McCay, Jack Kirby, Frank Frazetta, Alison Bechdel, Chris Ware, and R. Crumb will also be on display, along with photos by Gordon Parks, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Dorothea Lange.
