The episode titles include The Crawl, The Vanishing of ___, The Turnbow Trap, Sorceror, Shock Jock, Escape from Camazotz, The Bridge, and The Rightside Up. The Vanishing of ___ is the title that will generate the most conversations. The video censors the name of someone or something on the next line to avoid spoilers.

The video coincides with Stranger Things Day, which happens every year on November 6, the day Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) was kidnapped in season 1. The video’s caption also reveals what year the series will take place. “In the fall of 1987, one last adventure begins,” reads the video’s tagline. Stranger Things season 1 is set in 1983, meaning season 5 happens four years later.

Most of season 5’s plot is under wraps. However, this season should address the events in the season 4 finale, with Vecna still alive as the Upside Down invades Hawkins.

Season 5’s ensemble includes Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, and Jamie Campbell Bower. Nell Fisher, Alex Breaux, Jake Connelly, and Linda Hamilton are some of the notable additions joining the cast.

While Stranger Things season 5 has no official release date, it will undoubtedly become one of Netflix’s most popular shows. Stranger Things seasons 3 and 4 are two of Netflix’s nine most-watched English-language TV shows.

Ted Lasso season 4? Jason Sudeikis finally ‘feels good about it’ as show eyes return
Jason Sudeikis in Ted Lasso.

If Coach Ted Lasso is to return, the ball is in Jason Sudeikis' hands.

In a recent conversation at MIPCOM‘s C-Suite Conversations in Cannes, Channing Dungey, Warner Bros. TV Group's chairman and CEO, provided an exciting update for Ted Lasso season 4. Though not official, things are moving forward on a potential fourth season of the Apple TV+ hit show. It all depends on Sudeikis, who seems to be coming around to the idea.
“We are in conversations about season four, and they are very exciting conversations, but it’s still early days,” Dungey said via The Hollywood Reporter. "We had always been clear that there wasn’t going to be more Ted Lasso if Jason [Sudeikis] and team weren’t feeling excited about it, and I can tell you firsthand that he’s in a place where he’s feeling really excited and feels good about it”
In August, Deadline reported Ted Lasso season 4 was on the verge of being greenlit. Warner Bros. Television picked up the options on three original cast members: Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins).
With the trio's deals in place, the studio is expected to negotiate new deals with other cast members and producers. This group includes Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), and Juno Temple (Keeley Jones).

Ted Lasso was created by Sudeikis, Hunt, Bill Lawrence, and Joe Kelly. The original plan for Ted Lasso was to run for three seasons. However, Sudeikis holds the key to season 4, so if the Emmy-winner wants more of the show, it will come back.
Premiering in August 2020, Ted Lasso stars Sudeikis as the titular character, a former college football coach hired to run AFC Richmond, a struggling soccer team in the English Premier League. The series became a smash success and one of Apple TV+'s signature shows. During its three-season run, Ted Lasso has received over 60 Emmy nominations, winning Outstanding Comedy Series twice.

stranger things season 5 finale david harbour cried

Judging by David Harbour's comments, fans will need tissues when watching the Stranger Things season 5 finale.

On Thursday, Harbour appeared at the Happy Sad Confused podcast's 10th anniversary celebration at New York Comic Con. Harbour gave the live crowd a little treat by teasing what they can expect for Stranger Things season 5. Harbour and his castmates have read the series finale, which he called "the best episode they've ever done." The finale was so good that it moved people to tears.
“The end of this [final] episode, when we were reading it — just us reading it — about halfway through, people started crying,” Harbour said. “Then about the last 20 minutes, it was just uncontrollably crying, waves of different people. Noah Schnapp being my favorite.”
In Harbour's mind, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer "landed the plane" for a satisfying conclusion to the five-season show. Harbour, who stars as Jim Hopper, has worked with this young cast for nearly a decade, so he's witnessed their growth from a young age. The transition from childhood to adulthood plays a major theme this season that Harbour believes will be a hit with fans.
