Netflix announces episode titles for fifth and final season of ‘Stranger Things’
To commemorate November 6 — aka “Stranger Things Day,” aka the day Will Byers was sucked into the Upside Down — Netflix revealedStranger Things will return in 2025, as well as the titles for all eight remaining episodes of the streaming phenomenon’s fifth and final season.
“In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins … ” Netflix teased in a series of title cards.
Here are the titles — let your imagination run as to what they could mean:
Zack Snyder has made his share of “geek” films, from Man of Steel to The Watchmen to his latest Rebel Moon films. And now in a conversation posted by Netflix Geeked, he and another nerdcore superstar, Joe Manganiello, share their respective nerdiest treasures.
“The nerdiest thing I own is … the life-size Han Solo in carbon freeze,” Snyder began, earning an envious “Ooh” from the Magic Mike star.
Snyder continues, “I did a TV commercial with Harrison Ford, and I remember … he was like, ‘You know, I’m glad you’re just not one of those weirdo dorks, you know?'”
“And I was like, ‘Yeah! Me? Nah, of course not,'” earning a laugh from Manganiello. “Yeah, me? I don’t have you frozen in carbonite in my living room,” Joe added.
Zack said he had to “come clean” to the Star Wars star, admitting that yes, he is one of those dorks, and yes, he did have Ford’s likeness entombed as his alter ego was at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.
“And he was like, ‘That’s really disappointing,'” the director recalled.
For his part, Joe said, “Apart from all the things for the Friday night D&D games” — he hosts a weekly Dungeon & Dragons get-together for his famous friends — “the coolest thing that would appeal to nerds that I have is the Deathstroke helmet from the Justice League end credits scene.”
Snyder, Justice League‘s original director, nodded but added, “That’s not even nerdy, that’s just cool.”
Jude Law leads a ragtag group of kids in the action-packed new trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
The new clip, released Friday, features Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter) and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) as four friends who find a mysterious old starship and inadvertently get lost in the dangerous galaxy.
Law’s mysterious character, Jod, offers to help the kids get back home — which is helpful since they face the likes of “a crew of murderous pirates” and strange, and quite large, creatures.
According to the series’ synopsis, the children will meet “unlikely allies and enemies” on “a greater adventure than they ever imagined.”
Also in the cast are Tunde Adebimpe, Kerry Condon and Nick Frost as SM-33.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premieres with two episodes on Dec. 3, streaming on Disney+.
Lucasfilm is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
