23 Must-Watch Shows on Netflix Right Now (July 2025)

Yahoo23-07-2025
It seems like nothing can slow down Netflix's momentum even during the hottest months of the summer.
Netflix's new crime drama, The Waterfront, is dominating the charts and seems like a strong candidate for renewal. Ditto Untamed, a crime drama set at the Yosemite National Park.
Meanwhile, Mr. Robot has found new life on Netflix a decade after it became a critical smash on USA Network.
These are just three of the series on Watch With Us' selections for the must-watch shows on Netflix right now. You can catch them all below.

Ready for your next Netflix murder mystery obsession? Untamed stars Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, an Investigative Series Branch agent who is called to investigate a brutal murder at the serene Yosemite National Park. Kyle gets more than he bargains for as his quest to find the killer unlocks shady secrets about the park — and his own past.
Untamed ticks all the streaming murder mystery boxes and then some, with a stellar supporting cast that includes Jurassic Park vet Sam Neill and Mad Men's Rosemarie DeWitt. It's Bana, though, who steals the spotlight as the increasingly conflicted Kyle. His character has a past he's not proud of, and it will definitely come back to haunt him as he tries to find the killer.
'The Waterfront' (2025 - Present)
The Waterfront is a crime drama with a dark sense of humor which finds Cane Buckley (Jake Weary) and his mother, Belle Buckley (Maria Bello), struggling to save the family's business interests while Belle's husband, Harlan Buckley (Holt McCallany), recovers from health issues.
After discovering that Cane and Belle made a risky alliance with drug smugglers, Harlan pushes things even further. Meanwhile, Cane's sister, Bree Buckley (Melissa Benoist), is sleeping with a DEA agent and informing him of her family's crimes. That may be more than enough to bring the Buckley empire to its knees.
The Waterfront is streaming on Netflix.
'Mr. Robot' (2015 - 2019)
Rami Malek scored the role of a lifetime when he was cast in the lead of Mr. Robot. This dark cyberpunk thriller broke the mold for USA Network originals, and Malek won an Emmy for his performance as Elliot Alderson, a vigilante hack with a desire to change the world.
Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) seizes on that desire to recruit Elliot into fsociety, a hacker collective with an ambitious plan to redistribute wealth on a massive scale. It's a tantalizing prospect, but it also sends Elliot down a rabbit hole that makes him question what's really happening in his life.
Mr. Robot is streaming on Netflix.
'Blindspot' (2015 - 2020)
Blindspot gave Jaimie Alexander the chance to headline her own show as Jane Doe, a mysterious woman who was found in Times Square without any memories about who she is or where she came from.
FBI Special Agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) is summoned to investigate Jane when his name is found among the hundreds of tattoos on her body. Their pairing is not a coincidence, as Jane and Kurt realize that the tattoos are also meant to help them investigate numerous crimes as part of someone's hidden agenda. And they're only going to find out who was behind this by working together.
Blindspot is streaming on Netflix.
'Ginny & Georgia' (2021 - Present)
Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) has a son, Austin (Diesel La Torraca), on Ginny & Georgia. But as implied by the name of the series, a lot of the focus is on her daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry). Georgia has tried to be a good mother to her kids, but she's left some literal bodies in her wake.
Season 3 picks up with Georgia on trial for murder, her marriage to Paul Randolph (Scott Porter) in jeopardy, and she may lose custody of both of her children while fighting for her freedom. Ginny has her own problems at school as the media scrutiny and her complicated relationships threaten to derail her life.
Ginny & Georgia is streaming on Netflix.
'Dept. Q' (2025)
The Queen's Gambit creator Scott Frank has returned to Netflix with a new mystery series, Dept. Q, based upon Jussi Adler-Olsen's Department Q crime thriller novels. The show is making some changes to the source material, including setting the series in Scotland instead of Denmark. But the core premise remains.
Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) was once one of the top detectives in his department, but now he's been reduced to heading up Department Q, the cold case division that has nothing but crimes other detectives couldn't solve. It's a career dead end, at least until Carl actually starts making headway on these impossible cases alongside a team of misfits who just don't fit in around the regular cops.
Dept. Q is streaming on Netflix.
'The Four Seasons' (2025)
The Four Seasons is loosely based on the 1981 film of the same name, and it still revolves around three couples: Kate (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani).
The six of them are such close friends that they take four vacations a year together, hence the title of the show. While there's some drama in each of these couples, only Steve is willing to end his marriage with Anne in pursuit of a younger lover. That major life change threatens the dynamic of the group and may send these lifelong pals in different directions.
The Four Seasons is streaming on Netflix.
'Ransom Canyon' (2025)
Westerns are all the rage now thanks to Yellowstone, and Netflix is the latest streamer to throw its lasso into the ring with its new series, Ransom Canyon. The 10-episode first season stars Josh Duhamel as Staten Kirkland, a lonesome Texas rancher who is still not over the death of his wife. His mood improves considerably when Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly) returns to Staten's small town to oversee the local dance hall.
Staten and Quinn were once sweethearts, but can they rekindle the love they felt for each other all those years ago? As you can tell, Ransom Canyon is more romantic than Kevin Costner's hit cowboy series, but it's just as watchable and dramatic. Duhamel and Kelly have great onscreen chemistry as reluctant lovers and the show features some amazing shots of the Texas countryside.
'The Eternaut' (2025)
Those looking for quality shows that don't get the spotlight other Netflix shows like Stranger Things and You receive should stream The Eternaut, an outstanding new sci-fi series from Argentina. Based on a popular 1950s graphic novel, the six-episode series begins with a beautiful but deadly snowfall that wipes out most of humanity.
The survivors are left to pick up the pieces, and that includes Juan Salvo (Ricardo Darín), who wants to find his missing daughter while helping others seeking food and shelter. But deeper mysteries remain, including who — or what — caused the snowfall and why? What makes The Eternaut so entertaining is peeling away its many layers and discovering the shocking origin of the event that changed the world forever. Don't miss it.
'You' (2018-2025)
Even though it originated on Lifetime, You only became a big hit when it started streaming on Netflix. The show follows charming psychopath Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) as he travels the country — and later the world — looking for love and leaving a lot of dead bodies in his wake.
The recently released season 5 is the show's last and provides a satisfying conclusion to Joe's story. He's back in New York City, the setting in season 1, and obsessed with yet another winsome female, Bronte (Madeline Brewer). But Bronte may be hiding some secrets of her own, and they may prove to be Joe's downfall.
'Black Mirror' (2011-Present)
Is there any sci-fi show as effective and unsettling as Black Mirror? The critically acclaimed Charlie Brooker series has been disturbing audiences since 2011 — and it shows no signs of ending its reign of enjoyable terror. The show just returned from a brief hiatus with new tales of science gone awry and the dangerous allure of technology.
Season 7 features such stars as Paul Giamatti, Issa Rae, Will Poulter and Emma Corrin in stories that blend reality and fantasy. Some standout episodes include 'USS Callister: Into Infinity,' which is a follow-up to season 4's much-acclaimed 'USS Callister,' and 'Hotel Reverie,' an unusual romance that explores how artificial intelligence can make someone's dreams come true with devastating results.
'Adolescence' (2025)
When 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is accused of killing a fellow classmate who rejected his advances, his family must deal with the fallout. Meanwhile, the town's cops and teachers struggle to understand why a seemingly well-adjusted child would want to murder another.Since its release in March, Adolescence has ignited worldwide discussion about incel culture and its effects on young males. The series is only four episodes long, with each one devoted to exploring different points of view: Jamie's family, his teachers and friends, a child psychologist struggling to understand him and, finally, his father. Adolescence is a disturbing drama that is both punishing and rewarding to watch.
'The Residence' (2025)
The Residence has a setup we've all seen before — a murder has been committed at a large house, and a kooky detective must solve the case. But the man who has been murdered is a chief usher to the President of the United States, and the house he was killed in is the White House. This isn't an ordinary murder, and The Residence isn't your ordinary mystery show.Uzo Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp, the aforementioned detective who is as fastidious as Hercule Poirot and as fashion-forward as Carmen Sandiego. She has to interrogate a handful of colorful suspects —including Jason Lee as the president's brother and Ken Marino as a shady chief adviser — and figure out who did it and why before the killer claims their next victim.The Residence is a comedic thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously, yet is more uncommon than you might think. Aduba is terrific as the crafty Cupp and the supporting cast all make their suspects vivid enough to remember — and be suspicious of.
'Apple Cider Vinegar' (2025)
Belle Gibson has a secret. As the creator of the successful wellness app The Whole Pantry, the twentysomething influencer from Australia seemingly has it all: a burgeoning career, a supportive family and an inspiring backstory about how she beat multiple forms of cancer without the help of conventional Western medicine, capturing the hearts and minds of her online fandom in the process. The only problem? Belle never had cancer, and she isn't as well-intentioned as people think.That's the intriguing setup to Apple Cider Vinegar, a six-episode limited series that stars The Last of Us Season 2's Kaitlyn Dever as Belle. The show delves into the real-life case of how Gibson built an alternative medicine empire in the early 2010s and how quickly it all came apart as Belle's lies were exposed. If Apple Cider Vinegar leaves you wanting more, check out The Search for Instagram's Worst Con Artist, which unveils even more infuriating details of Belle's elaborate con.
'The Åre Murders' (2025)
Dig a little deeper into Netflix's vast catalogue, and you'll find some quality foreign mystery shows just waiting to be binged. One such show is The Åre Murders, a Swedish-language series based on a popular series of novels by Viveca Sten. It's like True Detective: Night Country, only with fewer supernatural elements and more snow.
Hanna (Carla Sehn) is a detective in Stockholm tasked to investigate a bizarre crime in Are, a remote city nestled in a mountain range. At a ski resort, a young girl, Amanda, has gone missing. As search parties frantically try to find any trace of her, Hanna suspects the girl's family and friends know more than they are telling. Can Hanna crack the case before it's too late?
'Zero Day' (2025)
Robert De Niro is a cinema legend who has never led a TV series in his long career. That all changes with Zero Day, a new political thriller with a heady premise and a stacked cast. De Niro stars as George Mullen, an ex-president of the United States who is recruited by America's current head of state, Evelyn Mitchell (Angela Bassett), to lead the Zero Day Commission, a top secret government division specializing in high-profile cases.Mullen quickly has his hands full when he's called to investigate a massive cyberattack that caused worldwide destruction. But as he discovers just who is behind the terrorist attack and why, he gradually uncovers a massive conspiracy that is closer to home than he realizes. Also starring Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton and Joan Allen, Zero Day is a captivating thriller that will prompt you to binge all of its six episodes in one sitting.
'Running Point' (2025)
Kate Hudson is due for a comeback. The Almost Famous actress and former Fabletics spokeswoman was the rom-com queen of the early 2000s, but lately, she hasn't been in anything significant. That changes with Running Point, a new series from Mindy Kaling that puts the star front and center of her own Netflix show.
The series follows Isla Gordon (Hudson), who has to take over the family business after one of her brothers, Cam (Justin Theroux), gets into an accident. The business in question is the Los Angeles Waves, a successful basketball team that has seen better days. Isla's never managed a pro team, and the Waves aren't exactly thrilled to have her there, but with the help of her brothers, friends and one hot coach (Jay Ellis), she may prove her haters wrong in the end.
'The Night Agent' (2023 - Present)
When it debuted in 2023, The Night Agent was an unexpected sensation. The story of how a lowly FBI Agent, Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), uncovers a vast conspiracy involving assassins, criminal cover-ups and the White House electrified viewers. To no one's surprise, Netflix immediately renewed it for a second season.
Now that Season 2 is here, expect more intrigue, action and unexpected narrative twists as Peter finally becomes an actual Night Agent. There's a leak in the CIA, and Peter is the only one smart enough to investigate. But what if the traitor is closer than he realizes? With scenes set in Thailand and California, The Night Agent is more like a Jason Bourne movie than ever. We're not complaining.
'American Murder: Gabby Petito' (2025)
Netflix has increased its true crime output in recent years, and its latest documentary, American Murder: Gabby Petito, immediately became one of the streamer's top shows after it debuted in February 2025. There's a good reason why — it's addictive, gruesome stuff, a true-crime tale that showcases a love story gone terribly wrong.
In August 2021, Gabby and her fiancé Brian Laundrie travelled to Utah in their van looking for adventure. By the end of September, Gabby's body is discovered and Brian is nowhere to be found. What happened to Gabby? And how was Brian involved in her eventual death? American Murder: Gabby Petito has no easy answers, but it faithfully captures an event that captivated the public four years ago and still fascinates people today.
'All of Us Are Dead' (2022 - Present)
Growing up is hard. Growing up during a zombie apocalypse is even worse. Don't believe me? Then check out All of Us Are Dead, which gives the zombie genre a new twist by setting it in a South Korean high school. A science teacher conducts an experiment that goes awry, which causes most of the students and faculty to turn into rampaging flesh-eaters. The few surviving students must try to find a way to escape their school without being eaten or turned into a zombie themselves.
Like the modern horror classic Train to Busan, All of Us Are Dead is brutally effective in depicting what might happen if an actual zombie apocalypse occurred. The genius of the show, however, is that it never loses sight of the fact that its protagonists are still just kids, and thus prone to fits of anger, jealousy and love.
If Buffy the Vampire Slayer effectively used vampires as a metaphor for the miseries of high school, this show does that just as well, with its undead antagonists symbolizing the dehumanizing effects of growing up.
'Missing You' (2024)
Netflix's hottest properties include Stranger Things, Squid Game, and … Harlan Coben?!? The famed mystery author has had a run of successful Netflix adaptations recently, with his last show, Fool Me Once, becoming one of the streamer's most-watched programs of 2024. His latest, Missing You, serves up more of what's worked so well in the past: an intriguing mystery set in England populated by a talented cast.
Detective Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar) is lonely. Eleven years ago, her fiancé, Josh (Ashley Walters), disappeared, and she's never quite gotten over that. One night, while swiping left on a dating app, she's stunned to find her missing lover alive and well … and actively looking for a hookup. How is Josh still alive? And what does this have to do with the death of Kat's father years ago? Missing You weaves an intricate mystery very well, with a genuinely shocking ending.
'Sweet Magnolias' (2020 - Present)
One of Netflix's most underrated series, Sweet Magnolias isn't anything more than an enjoyable drama about good people doing good things. That sounds boring, but throughout its four seasons, the show has provided enough entertaining moments to remain one of the streamer's most consistently watched original shows.
The show focuses on the friendship between three friends: Maddie Townsend (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), a mother of three recently separated from her husband Bill (Chris Klein); Helen Decatur (Heather Headley), a successful attorney contemplating a career change; and Dana Sue Sullivan (Brooke Elliott), a chef who runs her own restaurant. The three women navigate life, love and everything in between while living in an idyllic South Carolina town.
Sweet Magnolias is romantic escapism, but it's done well, and the three leads are genuinely charming. The fourth season premiered on February 6, 2025 and with its continued success, it's bound to return for another season.
'American Primeval' (2025)
Westerns have been making a comeback lately thanks to Kevin Costner (Horizon: An American Saga) and Taylor Sheridan (a half-dozen Yellowstone spinoffs), so it was only a matter of time before Netflix got into the game. American Primeval is a six-episode series written by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant, Twisters) and Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) and stars Taylor Kitsch, Betty Gilpin, Dane DeHaan and Jai Courtney.
The show follows new settlers in the American West, which is still a wild and unruly place in 1857. As the Utah War heats up and the Mountain Meadows Massacre takes place, they fight for their place in the new frontier and try to survive the harsh environment … and threats from within.
American Primeval is often very violent, but it depicts a time and place without rules. This isn't your dad's Western, but all the bloodshed paints an unexamined and fascinating era of American history.

Netflix is about to lose 7 shows — stream them before they're gone

Netflix regularly loses shows from its deep content library. Granted, the streaming service is also adding new ones nearly every day, and adds far more in a month than it loses — just look at the list of everything new on Netflix this August. But you still need to keep an eye out for when a favorite show or that acclaimed series you've been meaning to watch might be leaving Netflix. This month, the time to start keeping an eye out for what's leaving Netflix is right now. Between Aug. 15 and Aug. 19, the streaming service is going to remove seven shows from its library, and these shows aren't slouches either. "Ballers" was a big hit for HBO, and I enjoyed its first season — it's gone on Aug. 15, so you'll want to start binge-watching its five seasons now. Love a British crime drama like "MobLand"? Then you'll want to check out the acclaimed first two seasons of "Gangs of London" before the show goes back to being just on AMC Plus. Here are all seven shows that Netflix is about to lose this month, and why each one is worth watching before it's gone. "Ballers" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Spencer Strasmore, a former NFL player who has moved on to the world of financial management. Of course, the easiest clients for him to find are former NFL players, including mercurial wide receiver Ricky Jerret (John David Washington). This show is definitely more "Entourage" than "Any Given Sunday," and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't rather be watching either of those over this HBO series. By the end of season 5, I was officially hate-watching the show, committed to seeing it through to the end. That said, the first season of the show was genuinely good, especially ther performances of Washington as Jerret, Omar Miller as lineman Charles Greane and Rob Corddry as Spencer's partner in crime, Joe Krutel. If you just want a fun show with some sizzle, there are worse things to watch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Watch "Ballers" on Netflix until August 15 "Unreal" stars Shiri Appleby as Rachel Goldberg, a young reality show producer. She was a producer on the reality dating show "Everlasting" until she had a meltdown during the filming of a season finale. Now, she's back, rehired by her boss, Quinn (Constance Zimmer), much to the surprise of everyone on the show. Now, Rachel has to balance rebuilding her reputation, keeping the show as salacious as ever, and working alongside a rival producer, Shia (Aline Elasmar), and Rachel's cameraman ex-boyfriend Jeremy (Josh Kelly), who already moved on to someone else. This show got rave reviews across its first three seasons, when it aired on Lifetime. Its fourth and final season moved to Hulu and admittedly seems to be a forgettable one based on its 46% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences still liked it. The best endorsement I've seen for "Unreal" came from Entertainment Weekly's Dalene Rovenstine after the series premiere aired. "If you love 'The Bachelor,'" she wrote, "you're going to like 'UnREAL.' If you hate 'The Bachelor,' you're going to like 'UnREAL.' So basically, Lifetime has done it: They've found the perfect show for everyone." Watch "Unreal" on Netflix until August 19 With a title like "Kevin Can F**k Himself," you'd assume this show might be about a guy named, well, Kevin. But you'd be wrong, because it's really about Kevin's wife Allison (Annie Murphy), who's had about enough of being in an unhappy marriage with Kevin. To be fair, she's right to be fed up. Kevin is the worst — an immature narcissist whose behavior borders on domestic abuse. But what causes her to snap is when she learns from Patty (Mary Hollis Inboden), the sister of Kevin's best friend and one of her and Kevin's neighbors, that Kevin had secretly drained their savings account. What really sets this show apart is how it treats its portrayal of Allisons's life. When she's with Kevin, the show presents itself as a multi-cam sitcom complete with canned laughter. But when she's away from her awful husband and on her path of self-discovery, the show transitions to a single-camera comedy-drama. "Kevin Can F**k Himself" is worth checking out for this masterful technique alone, and at just 16 episodes, it's a quick binge-watch. Watch "Kevin Can F**k Himself" on Netflix until August 19 If you liked the "MobLand" season finale and can't wait for "MobLand" season 2, let "Gangs of London" tide you over while you wait. This crime thriller series takes its name from the 2006 video game of the same name, which was a spin-off from The Getaway video game franchise. The series centers around the Wallace crime family, which had been led by Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) until his shocking death at the beginning of the show. This throws the London criminal underworld into chaos, with Finn's son Sean (Joe Cole) and widow (Michelle Fairley) trying to keep the Wallace criminal enterprise intact. Like with "MobLand" and the British crime movies that "Gangs of London" draws inspiration from, there's no shortage of violence in this show, so much so that critics and audiences dinged the second season for being too violent. Which, given that "Havoc" director Gareth Evans created this show, maybe that shouldn't be a surprise. But season 1 received near universal acclaim, and is worth watching before it's gone from Netflix. Watch "Gangs of London on Netflix until August 19 In "The Walking Dead," Andrew Lincoln stars as Rick Grimes, a Georgia sheriff's deputy who leads a group of survivors during a zombie apocalypse. By the end of his time in the show, he became the leader of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, but in "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" he's been conscripted into the Civic Republic Military (CRM), potentially the most powerful military left on Earth. However, despite being ostensibly held captive by this powerful force, nothing is going to stop him from trying to reunite with his wife, Michonne (Danai Gurira), a katana-wielding killing machine who has been searching for Rick since season 10 of "The Walking Dead." As the old saying goes, "All's fair in love and war," and this six-episode miniseries has plenty of both. So whether you're a "Walking Dead" fanatic or just want a bingeable drama, "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" is a must-watch before it leaves Netflix this month. Watch "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" on Netflix until August 19 "The Boys" wasn't Seth Rogen's first foray into a comic book adaptation. Years before and his creative partner Evan Goldberg would serve as executive producers on the Prime Video superhero show based on the iconic Garth Ennis comic, they developed "Preacher" for AMC, based on another beloved Ennis comic series. For those who missed the show, "Preacher" stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, a Texas preacher with a penchant for hard-drinking and chain-smoking. During a crisis of faith, he becomes infused with an extraordinary power called Genesis, and it gives him some serious superpowers. It also convinces him to go find God (literally) and make God answer for all He's done wrong. Jesse won't be going alone though. He's bringing his violent ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and his new vampire friend from Ireland, Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). If you love an irreverent superhero show like "The Boys," then definitely check out "Preacher" before it leaves Netflix. Watch "Preacher" on Netflix until August 19 I'll freely admit, "Into the Badlands" is the one show on this list I had never even heard of before. But after watching the trailer and reading more about the martial arts drama, I'm bummed I missed it and will need to check it out before it leaves Netflix for good. "Into the Badlands" stars Daniel Wu as Sunny. He exists 500 years in the future, where war has turned Earth into a post-apocalyptic world. Sunny serves as a chief warrior to the Badlands' most powerful baron, Quinn (Marton Csokas). The world building in this show sounds incredible. "Into the Badlands" exists in a world largely, but not entirely, devoid of technology, where barons control vital resources and rule over a caste system that includes "cogs" (slaves), "dolls" (prostitutes) and "clippers" (warriors). If you're someone like me who loves a sci-fi or fantasy show with deep lore to explore, then "Into the Badlands" might be the show to prioritize binge-watching before it's gone. Watch "Into the Badlands" on Netflix until August 19 Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

‘Stranger Things' Final Season Teaser Drops Tomorrow as New Poster Debuts

'Stranger Things' Final Season Teaser Drops Tomorrow as New Poster Debuts originally appeared on Parade. The wait is almost over! Stranger Things announced that the first teaser for the final season of the long-running Netflix series would premiere tomorrow. 'One last adventure begins. Teaser tomorrow,' the Stranger Things official X account wrote on July 15. A new poster for Stranger Things 5 accompanied the post, and it featured a slick callback to seasons past. In the image, Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie BobbyBrown), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) are riding bikes across the landscape of Hawkins, Indiana. Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), who terrorized the group in Stranger Things Season 4, looms menacingly in the red clouds above them. Fans have been waiting for years to watch the epic conclusion of the popular Netflix show. Season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, and left viewers on quite the cliffhanger. Max () had been attacked by Vecna and left in a coma with some pretty gnarly injuries. While Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) thought they shot and killed the big bad, after exiting the Creel house, his body was nowhere to be found. In the ending shot of the season, the group looked out over Hawkins as the Upside Down began to creep into more of the real world, hinting that things were about to get a lot worse. Since then, there has been little news about the impending final season, but the streamer did give fans a tiny taste of what's to come with a short teaser during Tudum. In the clip, there were a few blink-and-you-miss-it moments that implied the kids were in some serious danger. Will, whom creators Ross and Matt Duffer have said will play a big role in the last season, was especially worrisome. He appeared to be trying to save his friends while holding off something particularly menacing and yelling at them to 'Run!' With the first real teaser on the horizon, it looks like the final battle for Hawkins is finally about to begin.

Stranger Things' Star Shares Wild Theory About the Spinoff

Stranger Things' Star Shares Wild Theory About the Spinoff originally appeared on Parade. Even though Stranger Things is coming to an end with the series finale set to premiere on New Year's Eve, Finn Wolfhard still has some ideas regarding what the spinoff series will be about. 'Like David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Sort of an anthology and different tones but similar universe or same universe,' Wolfhard, 22, said in a new interview with Variety published on Tuesday, August 5. 'I think set in different places and all tied together through this mythology of the Upside Down. Don't even talk about Hawkins. Don't have any mention of our characters.' However, before fans get too excited, the Ghostbusters: Afterlife star clarified that no official announcements about a spinoff had been made just yet. '[Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer] were toying around with ideas in case Netflix wanted them. I'm sure they do, and I'm sure it will happen, but there's nothing official,' he explained. 'I think the coolest way, the way that I would do it, there has to be labs everywhere. If there was one in Hawkins, there's one in Russia. Where else could they be?' RELATED: In 2023, Wolfhard revealed that he had previously been a little too close for comfort in his guess about what the Duffers had planned for a spinoff. 'I was like, 'But if you guys are actually going to do a spin-off, it should be this.' And then I said it and the Duffers looked at each other and looked at me and they were like, 'Could we talk to you for a second?'' he said during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. 'And then they pulled me off and they were like, 'That is the idea. Who told you?' and I was like, 'No one,' and they were like 'What do you mean? You just came up with it?' and I was like, 'Well, no, I just thought that that would be a cool way to expand.' It was really funny and they were like 'Okay, well… don't tell anyone.'' Granted, the Duffers could have easily changed their mind since then, but dedicated Stranger Things fans might want to brush up on their Twin Peaks lore just in case. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Stranger Things' Star Shares Wild Theory About the Spinoff first appeared on Parade on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
