Vecna's Reign of Terror Wasn't Over
Season 4 of Stranger Things ended on a nerve-wracking note, with Vecna nearly succeeding in merging Hawkins with the Upside Down. Though the villain appeared to be defeated—set on fire and shot multiple times by Eleven, Nancy, Steve, and Robin—his demise wasn't certain. As the smoke cleared, it became evident that Vecna had survived the assault, leaving fans with the chilling realization that his dark plans were far from over, according to CNET.
Hawkins Turns Into a War Zone
The Stranger Things Season 5 teaser wastes no time ramping up the tension, picking up right where the chaos of Season 4 left off. Vecna's sinister plan is still in motion, and Hawkins has turned into a battleground. The teaser teases intense Demogorgon fights, strategic counterattacks, and a determined squad ready to risk it all. But the most spine-chilling moment? Vecna's haunting voice whispering, 'Found you,' directly to Eleven—signaling that the final showdown is about to begin.
Military Lockdown and a Full-Powered Vecna
The teaser also reveals that Hawkins is now under strict military quarantine, with the government ramping up its hunt for Eleven. Tensions are high, and the threat is greater than ever. In a fiery final moment, Vecna is seen unleashing a powerful blast—proof that he's back at full strength and more dangerous than ever. The stage is clearly set for an epic, no-holds-barred conclusion.
Stranger Things Season 5 will be released in three parts on
Netflix
, kicking off with Volume 1 on November 26, 2025. Volume 2 is set to drop on December 25, bringing an eerie twist to Christmas, while the epic series finale will arrive on December 31, 2025—closing out the year with one final showdown in Hawkins.

Who Won Netflix's Building The Band and What Was Prize Money? Season 1 Finale Crowns New Superstar Group
Netflix's new music competition series, Building The Band, crowned its first-ever winners in the Season 1 finale released on Wednesday, July 23. Girl group 3Quency, comprising Nori Moore, Wennely Quezada, and Brianna Mazzola, walked away with the title and a USD 500,000 prize. The trio impressed celebrity judges Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland, and the late Liam Payne in the finale performance with their rendition of Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby. They beat out finalist group SZN4, the show's only mixed-gender band, which included Donzell Taggart, Aaliyah Rose, Cameron Goode, and Katie Roeder. How did 3Quency win the competition? Judge Nicole Scherzinger praised the group's growth and energy in the finale episode. 'They have proven to us that they are ready,' Scherzinger said. 'A band that has shown so much growth, the band that pulled out all the stops tonight.' 3Quency formed early in the show and remained consistent throughout the season. Their chemistry became a key strength. 'Once we locked in on three, we were still open to anything shifting it, but three just felt so good. Our chemistry felt so strong,' Brianna Mazzola told USA TODAY ahead of the finale. The judges gave the group three important tips that helped them succeed. Scherzinger advised them to maintain eye contact, Payne encouraged them to 'claim your presence on stage,' and Rowland reminded them to 'just breathe.' Nori Moore shared how the group stayed connected after filming. 'We've been in a long-distance relationship,' she said, adding that they stayed in touch through FaceTime movie nights, group trips, and daily chats. While 3Quency won, SZN4 gave a powerful performance of Rag'n'Bone Man's Human, which brought judges and host AJ McLean to tears. Kelly Rowland even predicted they would win, saying mid-episode she thought they had it in the bag. But in the end, 3Quency's consistency and chemistry gave them the edge.
