Stranger Things season 5: everything we know so far about the hit Netflix show's final entry (release date, trailer, cast, plot, and more)
Stranger Things season 5: key information
- Will be the main show's final entry- Launching in three parts- First volume arrives in late November- Volumes 2 and 3 arrive in December 2025 and January 2026- First trailer released in mid-July- Core cast set to return- Major characters could die- Episode titles revealed in November 2024- Will answer big questions about the Upside Down- Animated spin-off's title revealed in June
Stranger Things season 5 is still four months away (at the time of this article's latest update) from being released.
Despite having to wait so long for the incredibly popular Netflix show's final entry, though, we've finally been given a trailer to pore over as we count down the weeks to its November 26/27 release on the world's best streaming service. You'll need to read this guide's trailer section to learn more about it, though.
There's plenty more to read about below, too. Indeed, from Stranger Things' fifth and final season's trio of release dates and confirmed cast, to plot details and the franchise's future, our expert (i.e. me) has combed the web to bring you the biggest and latest news about one of the best Netflix shows' final hurrah. Full spoilers follow for Stranger Things season 4. Possible spoilers for season 5 are on the way, too.
Stranger Things season 5 release date
Stranger Things season 5's release dates were revealed at Netflix Tudum 2025. It'll launch in three parts, too, with volume 1 (episodes 1 through 4) out on November 26 in the US, and November 27 in the UK and Australia. You can see when the volumes 2 and 3 will arrive in the above X/Twitter post.
Previously, Netflix only confirmed Stranger Things 5 would debut sometime in 2025. That came as a relief as we were worried that season 5 wouldn't arrive until 2026. That was in spite of principal photography wrapping on Stranger Things 5 in December 2024, too.
Stranger Things season 5 trailer
At long last, Stranger Things season 5's first official trailer was released on July 16. Netflix confirmed Stranger Things 5's teaser launch date one day earlier, so we knew it'd arrive ahead of time.
For more in-depth analysis and updates on the teaser, which you can view above, read my Stranger Things season 5 trailer launch blog.
Missed the first round of season 5 footage, which debuted at Netflix Tudum 2025 as part of a Stranger Things legacy teaser? Check it out below:
Ahead of that teaser's debut, Netflix released a behind-the-scenes look at season 5 in mid-2024.
The video represented our first proper look at Stranger Things season 5 – one that revealed new characters, fan-favorite team-ups, and a possible time jump, but didn't feature any actual footage.
Stranger Things season 5 cast: confirmed and rumored
Major spoilers follow for Stranger Things season 4.
Here's the confirmed cast for Stranger Things season 5 as of July 2025:
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
Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair
Noah Schnapp as Will Byers
Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield
Natalie Dyer as Nancy Wheeler
Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers
Joe Keery as Steve Harrington
Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley
Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair
Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman
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 Lieutenant Akers
Linda Hamilton as Doctor Kay
Established cast members notwithstanding, the biggest news is that Terminator star Linda Hamilton has joined the Stranger Things 5 ranks. She'll play a gun-toting scientist called Doctor Kay.
She isn't the only cast addition. July 2024's behind-the-scenes teaser confirmed by Fisher (Evil Dead Rise), Breaux (Waco: The Aftermath), and up-and-comer Connelly are also part of proceedings. Fisher will play Holly Wheeler, aka Mike and Nancy's younger sibling, while Connelly and Breaux have been cast as Derek and Lieutenant Akers.
I suspect supporting characters from past seasons migh show up, too. Ted Wheeler (Joe Chrest), Lieutenant Colonel Jack Sullivan (Sherman Augustus), and Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo) should be back. Meanwhile, Doctor Sam Owens' (Paul Reiser) fate is unknown after he was left handcuffed to a pipe in the subterranean Nina Project in season 4. However, I'd be surprised if he doesn't feature.
Lastly, Eduardo Franco has confirmed (per IGN) he didn't receive the call to reprise his role as fan-favorite season 4 character Argyle. Joseph Quinn's Eddie Munson won't be back, either, following his death in last season's finale. Other season 4 characters in Dmitri Antonov (Tom Wlaschiha) and Yuri Ismaylov (Nikola Duricko) are unlikely to appear as well.
Stranger Things season 5 story synopsis and speculation
Full spoilers follow for Stranger Things season 4. Potential season 5 spoilers are also discussed.
Here's Stranger Things season 5's story synopsis: "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. 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."
Given this season marks the end of one of Netflix's biggest TV Originals, it's set to go out with a bang.
For one, Stranger Things 5 will test our runtime limits, with Maya Hawke revealing that "basically, eight movies" have been filmed. Season 5's 12-month shoot yielded 650-plus hours of footage, too, which has been whittled down for its "blockbuster movie" episodes, according to co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer.
Furthermore, we know what this season's episode titles are. The season 5 premiere title, aka 'The Crawl', was unveiled in mid-2022 – here are four big theories on what Stranger Things 5's first episode title could mean – while the others were unveiled last November.
Episode 1 – The Crawl
Episode 2 – The Vanishing Of [Redacted]
Episode 3 – The Turnbow Trap
Episode 4 – Sorcerer
Episode 5 – Shock Jock
Episode 6 – Escape From Camazotz
Episode 7 – The Bridge
Episode 8 – The Rightside Up
Interestingly, the Duffers confirmed they rewrote parts of season 5 (per Netflix Tudum) based on fan feedback, which means the show will end in a different way than they originally intended. Thankfully, nothing about season 5's concluding chapter has appeared online, even after Netflix reportedly suffered a major Stranger Things 5 leak in February. For now, then, its biggest secrets are still being kept under wraps.
Before the end credits roll for the final time, our heroes must join forces to try to stop Vecna – the show's primary antagonist – for good.
"Our characters are going after Vecna from minute one," Ross Duffer told Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 unlocked episode in July 2022. "We have a lot to do, in terms of a few more revelations, and also we need to make sure we give our characters time to make these final arcs."
So, what happened in the season 4 finale? Vecna was severely injured by Nancy, Steve, and Robin at Creel House but, when they go looking for Vecna's body, it's gone. The series' main villain appears to crawled away to recover from his wounds, then.
He was technically victorious in season 4, though. Max, his final victim, died for a whole minute after he attacked her, thereby causing four rifts to the Upside Down to open in the center of Hawkins. Based on season 5's first trailer, the two realities will clash as Vecna tries to finish what he started – i.e. destroying everything that our heroes hold dear.
To put a stop to his world-ending plan, the show's main characters are already assembled in Hawkins so, while they'll break into smaller groups to cover as much ground as possible, they're still effectively working together. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Matt Duffer said that was an intentional creative decision, adding: "We want to go back to a lot things we did in season 1 and a lot of the original groupings and pairings that we had."
But back to Max. She's in a medically-induced coma following her near-fatal encounter with Vecna in the Stranger Things season 4 finale. When Eleven went searching for Max in the Void, though, she couldn't find her, so it's unclear if Max will ever wake up.
Before filming on season 5 began, Sink said she was in the dark about Max's fate, but you can read our thoughts on how Max's story could go one of two ways in Stranger Things season 5. However, in images posted from the season 5 set (see the below Instagram post's third photograph), Ross Duffer teased Lucas will try to coax Max out of her unconscious state using music – and, in particular, her love to Kate Bush.
Elsewhere Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, dropped a big hint to Vogue about his season 5 character arc, saying: "There's a lot in store for Will. It ties back to where it begins, full circle. I'm excited for fans to see where we wrap his character. I think they'll be really pleased, but also shocked."
Schnapp also told US magazine that Will is the "center point" of Stranger Things 5, before revealing (via Forbes) that the whole show "ends with Will". Based on the X/Twitter post below, it could begin with a flashback showing us a de-aged Will or, as seen in a video from Schnapp (post on Ross Duffer's X/Twitter account) showed, a present day Will revisiting Castle Byers, aka his self-erected childhood hideout.
Ross Duffer corroborated Schnapp's comments in conversation with Variety, adding: "Will really takes center stage again. This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that's being protected. So part of his journey, it's not just sexuality – it's Will coming into his own as a young man."
As for potential character deaths, Stranger Things season 5 sounds like it'll be the deadliest yet, which implies some main characters will perish. Place your bets on who'll make it out live now.
Teasing what else fans can expect, Matt Duffer told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that the show's final few episodes will be like The Lord of the Rings in its design.
"It [the season 5 finale] is going to be Return of the King-ish with eight endings," he said. "If you just watch Return of the King, it feels like too many endings. [But] if you watch all of them back-to-back, which I've done multiple times, it's exactly right. If it were any shorter, it would feel cheap and wrong."
As for other subplots that need resolving, we should find out why the Upside Down is seemingly stuck in 1984. We still don't have all the answers – outside of what's revealed in prequel stage play Stranger Things: The First Shadow – about this realm. We're also in the dark about why it's spookier and more dingy than the realm Henry Creel first traveled to, or what The Mind Flayer is. Ross Duffer (per Stranger Things season 4 volume 2's unlocked episode) claims those queries will be answered.
There's also the loose end concerning number eight – aka Kali Prasad. We haven't seen Kali since season 2 and, unlike every other test subject under Doctor Brenner's supervision (who had telekinetic abilities), she had different powers. Why was she the odd one out? And will we see her again?
It's possible Stranger Things season 5 won't answer everything. After all, the Duffers have retconned some early season plot points in later instalments (via Variety). Maybe Kali's story is just one of those lingering mysteries we'll never get closure on.
And what of the show's last-ever episode? We have no idea how it'll end, but Matarazzo told NME that fans can prepare to see a "satisfying" and "cathartic" final chapter, while Wolfhard told People.com that he was "satisfied... confused... and sad" about it. David Harbour also told THR that the series' final episode is "the best episode they [the Duffers] have done" before teasing how tear-jerking it is. Have a box of tissues at the ready, everyone!
The future of Stranger Things
Season 5 of Stranger Things is the end of the mainline show, but there are other projects in the works at Upside Down Pictures, aka the Duffers' production company.
The first of those – a stage play that's titled Stranger Things: The First Shadow – is set in 1959 and tells the tale of the Creel Family's arrival in Hawkins. It also shows us Jim Hopper, Henry Creel, and other notable characters in their teens. It's currently playing on Broadway, but it's a prequel that might mean Stranger Things season 5 hits the big Marvel and Star Wars problem. Based on a huge plot point it'll contain, The First Shadow's big lore reveal will need addressing in season 5 for anyone who doesn't get the chance to watch it.
As for other projects, an animated spin-off called Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is due out on Netflix sometime in 2026. Attendees were treated to some first-look images at the series, which takes place between seasons 2 and 3, and will feature a new supernatural threat for Eleven and company to deal with. Everything else is being kept under wraps.

Logies 2025 live: 14-year first for Gold Logie award as women dominate, nominee's fitting dress choice
The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards have arrived, with some of Australia's most popular television personalities set to walk the red carpet at The Star Sydney later today. All eyes will be on the seven Gold Logie nominees, with a record six women in the running to make it the first time since 2011 female nominations have outweighed the male nominations. Favourite Lynne McGranger may be anticipating victory with her dress choice this evening, wearing a golden gown to the Logies. There's plenty more to get excited about as we prepare for a big night of awards and we'll be bringing you all you need to know about TV's night of nights with our live coverage right here, including exclusive insights from the biggest names in broadcasting. Comedian Sam Pang will return as host for the third consecutive year, while rock legend Jimmy Barnes, singer-songwriter Richard Marx and Guy Sebastian are all performing tonight. There's also a new award on offer tonight – the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter. Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson, has received a massive eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Channel 7's red carpet coverage, hosted by Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown, will air at 7pm (AEST), followed by the live awards ceremony at 7.30pm. On the red carpet for Yahoo tonight will be Senior Entertainment Reporter Lachlan Guertin and Senior Video Producer Caitie Browne and they'll be bringing you exclusive insights throughout. Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. Poh Ling Yeow and Julia Morris show off red carpet dresses OK then, the stars are now arriving on the red carpet so let's bring you some more looks. We had sneak peek of Julia Morris' dress earlier and here it is in full. And she's posing alongside fellow Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow who looks stunning in a green and beige number. Going for gold... in gold Well, well, well. Is this Lynne McGranger anticipating a Gold Logie win tonight? The favourite for the award has donned a stunning golden dress for the evening. Make of it what you will. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lynne McGranger (@lynnemcgranger) Logies moments to remember While the stars hope it will all be plain sailing on the night, we've learnt over the years that's never the case. Whether it be slip-ups, drunken antics or a joke too far, the Logies delivers plenty of shocks, even from those you least expect. One moment that came to light years after it happened was Tracy Grimshaw's embarrassing hotel mix-up. "I locked myself out of my hotel room starkers. It was 3:45am and there was no one in the hallway," the revered host revealed to Kyle and Jackie O about her Logies night in 1998. Grimshaw, in a presumably drunken state after drinking tequilas with James Packer into the early hours of the morning, thought she was heading to the bathroom when she opened the door into the hallway. "I realised that the guest opposite [my hotel room] had The Australian delivered. Thank god it was a broadsheet and not the Herald Sun!" she joked. Read more of the Logies' most controversial moments, including several from Karl Stefanovic, here. Wild weather not dampening spirits Our team is all set on the red carpet for this year's Logies and will be bringing you exclusive moments throughout the evening. Lachlan has opted for a warm turtle neck on what is a pretty miserable afternoon in Sydney with plenty of wind and rain. However the conditions are not impacting proceedings too much, thankfully. What food is served at the Logies? While we know there's plenty of drinks had at the Logies, what is the food like? Well according to Travel Guides stars Karly Fisher and Bri Auty, it certainly matches the occasion. The pair, who are hoping their show wins Best Lifestyle Program for the fourth year in a row, revealed to Yahoo what was on the menu last year. "I had gold-encrusted lamb. [Bri] had fish, which then I think I ate as well,' Karly recalls. 'And then there was dessert. I've actually got a video of me eating them all. I did a kind of mukbang on my phone, eating all these desserts. They were stunning. 'There was a lava cake, but not a Domino's lava cake. It was like a proper, bougie lava cake. I will say the food was what I was probably most looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. It was so yummy.' Julia Morris practices Gold Logie victory kiss Gold Logie nominee Julia Morris has given us a glimpse of her dress for the night and has practised kissing the Gold Logie award in the process. Morris has been pretty active on her socials, and yesterday also revealed a late-night manicure in her preparations for the big day. And while taking to your feet with an electric file after a cocktail isn't recommended, Morris later revealed it was all a success. Take a look at her outfit for the night below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julia Morris (@ladyjuliamorris) Who has the most Logies nominations? The ABC has again dominated this year's Logies when it comes to nominations. The public broadcaster has a total of 44 nominations. Commercial network Nine is the closet competition with 23 (up to 32 if you include streaming platform Stan which it owns). Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar about wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson has an impressive eight nominations, although they are spread across just four awards. The streaming giant's Territory isn't far behind with seven nominations tonight. The ABC's Fisk has five, while Binge's Colin From Accounts and the ABC's Return To Paradise have four each. Netflix's Heartbreak High has three. Who is the favourite to win the Gold Logie? If you voted in our poll shared earlier, you would have seen Lynne McGranger is the clear favourite to win the Gold Logie tonight among Yahoo readers, with 37 per cent of your believing she'll take the top award. Nineteen per cent of you think Ally Langdon will win it, while 17 per cent say Poh Ling Yeow. And that's the way the bookmakers are going, with Sportsbet paying $1.37 for a McGranger win. They have Langdon at $5 and Hamish Blake at $8.50. Poh Ling Yeow is further back at $13.00 What time do stars start their day for the Logies? While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy. And while some celebs' days will be busier than others, Gold Logie nominee Lynne McGranger has offered an insight into how gruelling Sunday can be. "I think I've got to do some early morning television… I'll probably do hair and makeup, and then I'll probably have a couple of hours off," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I'll be in makeup again I think at around lunchtime for the Logies, and then I have to be ready to go at 2.30pm – what sort of a ridiculous hour is that?" "But because I'm presenting, I've got to stay nice. I can't be necking the champagne, otherwise I'll get on stage and I'll be dribbling. So I just have to pace myself and be sensible for once in my life." Sam Pang reveals this year's Logies jokes already had a run Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies. The comedian has been a huge hit in the top gig thanks to his brutal yet hilarious approach, with no-one across Australian TV safe when it comes to his jokes. But there's plenty of work that goes into his presenting, with Pang telling Ross and Russ on 3AW Breakfast he scripted this year's jokes and trialled them at a small comedy club in Melbourne. "I got up for twenty minutes and trialled some stuff," he said, saying some material was cut based on the reaction of the audience. 'The only thing you don't want to do is get up there on Sunday night and say a joke and at the end of it they didn't even know it was a joke." Last year Pang took aim at Channel Seven's internal issues despite the network broadcasting the awards. Who do you think will win the Gold Logie? Right. Now we've run you through the Gold Logie nominees, who do you think will win it? Have your say in our poll below. Gold Logie nominee: Hamish Blake Rounding out this year's Gold Logie nominees is Hamish Blake, who has openly discouraged viewers from voting for him as the only man in the group. The comedian and radio host is nominated for Lego Masters, and previously won in both 2012 and 2022. 2025 marks his sixth nomination. How many Logies awards are there? We have a new award tonight in the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, with a total of 23 awards up for grabs tonight. With so many awards, tonight's proceedings could easily stretch well beyond the scheduled time, as it has done in the past. Last year, the Gold Logie was only handed out close to midnight. So buckle in for a long night. Gold Logie nominee: Sonia Kruger Sonia Kruger is one of only two Gold Logie nominees this year who have already won the award, having taken home the trophy in 2023. This year, she's nominated for her hosting roles on The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, and last year's Logies red carpet coverage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by soniakruger (@soniakruger) Gold Logie nominee: Lisa Millar ABC star Lisa Millar is the only Gold Logie nominee this year who has never previously been nominated in any category at the awards show. The veteran journalist is nominated for her work on Back Roads, Muster Dogs, and News Breakfast, which she left in August 2024. 'I cannot believe that this kid who had a big dream to make it in this industry is now being nominated for the Gold Logie, the biggest award of them all,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle. 'I don't go to the Logies very often, I've only been to the Logies three times in my life, and last year was one of them. If you had told me, 'Hey, next year you're going to be at the Logies and you're going to be a Gold Logie nominee', I would've laughed at you.' Gold Logie nominee: Ally Langdon In addition to her Gold Logie nomination, Ally Langdon is nominated for the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. After taking home the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year, the A Current Affair admitted to Yahoo Lifestyle she wasn't quite sure how to campaign for her first-ever Gold Logie nomination. 'My approach last year with the Silver was I just ignored it, and like if you looked on my socials, you wouldn't have even known. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this. It's not sort of 'Ally for the Gold', it's 'ACA for the Gold', and I just happen to sit in the chair.' Can I still vote for the Logies? There's still time to get your vote in for the 2025 Logies. The Most Popular Presenter, Most Popular New Talent, and Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter categories will close at 7.30pm (AEST) tonight, and the Gold Logie votes will stay open until 10.30pm. What happened at the Logies last year? There was a first Gold Logie win for veteran presenter Larry Emdur 12 months ago, and as promised, he recognised the moment with a tattoo on his backside the following morning live on The Morning Show. The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken. Relive other moments from the night via our 2024 Logies live blog here. Gold Logie nominee: Poh Ling Yeow Fourteen years after being nominated for Most Popular New Female Talent, Poh Ling Yeow is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie this year. Fellow MasterChef judge Sofia Levin is also nominated for Most Popular New Talent, while the reality show itself is up for Best Competition Reality Program. Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women. 'It feels really amazing to be part of this historical moment,' she said. 'And I think also, quite a few of the ladies are middle-aged, which I think is amazing, because I think this is our moment to shine.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Poh Ling Yeow (@pohlingyeow) Julia Morris' swipe after 14-year first for Gold Logie Six of this year's seven Gold Logie nominees are women and if we're honest, it's about time. You have to go back 14 years to 2011 for female nominees to outweigh the men. And even then, Karl Stefanovic claimed the award on the night. In the 11 awards handed out since, only three have been won by women, with tonight a better chance than any to add to that number. Nominee Julia Morris couldn't help but take a swipe at the lack of representation for women this week, joking Hamish Blake's inclusion among the nominees was a win for men. "The girls keep getting all the opportunities," she sarcastically told KIIS' Will and Woody. "Women just kept getting so many opportunities. So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something."Poh Ling Yeow and Julia Morris show off red carpet dresses OK then, the stars are now arriving on the red carpet so let's bring you some more looks. We had sneak peek of Julia Morris' dress earlier and here it is in full. And she's posing alongside fellow Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow who looks stunning in a green and beige number.

While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy. And while some celebs' days will be busier than others, Gold Logie nominee Lynne McGranger has offered an insight into how gruelling Sunday can be. "I think I've got to do some early morning television… I'll probably do hair and makeup, and then I'll probably have a couple of hours off," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I'll be in makeup again I think at around lunchtime for the Logies, and then I have to be ready to go at 2.30pm – what sort of a ridiculous hour is that?" "But because I'm presenting, I've got to stay nice. I can't be necking the champagne, otherwise I'll get on stage and I'll be dribbling. So I just have to pace myself and be sensible for once in my life." While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy.

Sam Pang reveals this year's Logies jokes already had a run Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies. The comedian has been a huge hit in the top gig thanks to his brutal yet hilarious approach, with no-one across Australian TV safe when it comes to his jokes. But there's plenty of work that goes into his presenting, with Pang telling Ross and Russ on 3AW Breakfast he scripted this year's jokes and trialled them at a small comedy club in Melbourne. "I got up for twenty minutes and trialled some stuff," he said, saying some material was cut based on the reaction of the audience. 'The only thing you don't want to do is get up there on Sunday night and say a joke and at the end of it they didn't even know it was a joke." Last year Pang took aim at Channel Seven's internal issues despite the network broadcasting the awards. Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies.

But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this.

While she was up for the award alongside her I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-host Robert Irwin last year, she's riding solo this time around. Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle at the nominations event in June, Julia joked that she has 'a lot of strategies in place' to finally take it out this year. 'My campaign strategy is to drive mum's Uber, I drive children to various locations,' she remarked. 'Unpacking the dishwasher is definitely part of my strategy. And what else have I got to do? Oh, keep the pool filled up with the water, because if it goes beneath, then the filter won't work.' Gold Logie nominee: Lynne McGranger Lynne McGranger is a first-time Gold Logie nominee this year and is also up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. The Home and Away veteran, who recently quit the soap opera after 33 years playing Irene Roberts, was previously nominated for the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress in 2023, but lost out to Fisk's Kitty Flanagan. 'It's extraordinary. My worlds are colliding with Irene's storyline winding up, doing The Grandparents Club, touring that nationally, and then the Gold Logie. Worlds have collided, so I'm just hanging on like grim death at the moment,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle last week. 'What I'm most proud of is that a woman my age can be nominated for her first Gold Logie ever, and win, lose, or draw, I feel like it's a win. It's a win for women everywhere, and women of any age need never feel invisible again.' Who is nominated for the Gold Logie? This year marks the first time in the award show's history that there's been this many women nominated for the Gold Logie, scoring six out of the seven nominations. TV presenters Ally Langdon, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow, Sonia Kruger, and Home and Away actress Lynne McGranger are all up for the top award alongside Lego Masters host Hamish Blake, the sole male nominee.

And while taking to your feet with an electric file after a cocktail isn't recommended, Morris later revealed it was all a success. Take a look at her outfit for the night below.

The streaming giant's Territory isn't far behind with seven nominations tonight. The ABC's Fisk has five, while Binge's Colin From Accounts and the ABC's Return To Paradise have four each. Netflix's Heartbreak High has three. The ABC has again dominated this year's Logies when it comes to nominations. The public broadcaster has a total of 44 nominations.

While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy. And while some celebs' days will be busier than others, Gold Logie nominee Lynne McGranger has offered an insight into how gruelling Sunday can be. "I think I've got to do some early morning television… I'll probably do hair and makeup, and then I'll probably have a couple of hours off," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I'll be in makeup again I think at around lunchtime for the Logies, and then I have to be ready to go at 2.30pm – what sort of a ridiculous hour is that?" "But because I'm presenting, I've got to stay nice. I can't be necking the champagne, otherwise I'll get on stage and I'll be dribbling. So I just have to pace myself and be sensible for once in my life." While you'll be turning on your TV set in the evening, those involved are getting ready long before you get comfy.

Sam Pang reveals this year's Logies jokes already had a run Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies. The comedian has been a huge hit in the top gig thanks to his brutal yet hilarious approach, with no-one across Australian TV safe when it comes to his jokes. But there's plenty of work that goes into his presenting, with Pang telling Ross and Russ on 3AW Breakfast he scripted this year's jokes and trialled them at a small comedy club in Melbourne. "I got up for twenty minutes and trialled some stuff," he said, saying some material was cut based on the reaction of the audience. 'The only thing you don't want to do is get up there on Sunday night and say a joke and at the end of it they didn't even know it was a joke." Last year Pang took aim at Channel Seven's internal issues despite the network broadcasting the awards. Sam Pang is returning for his third consecutive year hosting the Logies.

'I cannot believe that this kid who had a big dream to make it in this industry is now being nominated for the Gold Logie, the biggest award of them all,' she told Yahoo Lifestyle. 'I don't go to the Logies very often, I've only been to the Logies three times in my life, and last year was one of them.

Gold Logie nominee: Ally Langdon In addition to her Gold Logie nomination, Ally Langdon is nominated for the inaugural Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. After taking home the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year, the A Current Affair admitted to Yahoo Lifestyle she wasn't quite sure how to campaign for her first-ever Gold Logie nomination. 'My approach last year with the Silver was I just ignored it, and like if you looked on my socials, you wouldn't have even known. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to get away with that this time round,' she shared. 'I feel like I'm here, I'm the face of A Current Affair, but I very much feel like that's who I'm representing for this. It's not sort of 'Ally for the Gold', it's 'ACA for the Gold', and I just happen to sit in the chair.'

What happened at the Logies last year? There was a first Gold Logie win for veteran presenter Larry Emdur 12 months ago, and as promised, he recognised the moment with a tattoo on his backside the following morning live on The Morning Show. The other big winners on the night were 15-year-old Felix Cameron who won two of Boy Swallows Universe's five Logies, while Utopia won all three comedy awards. Cameron won the hearts of the nation when he broke down in tears during his first acceptance speech which he'd written down on a piece of paper because his phone was broken.

Gold Logie nominee: Poh Ling Yeow Fourteen years after being nominated for Most Popular New Female Talent, Poh Ling Yeow is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie this year. Fellow MasterChef judge Sofia Levin is also nominated for Most Popular New Talent, while the reality show itself is up for Best Competition Reality Program. Poh told Yahoo Lifestyle that while she felt extremely honoured to be nominated for the Gold Logie, she's especially thrilled it's alongside five other women. 'It feels really amazing to be part of this historical moment,' she said. 'And I think also, quite a few of the ladies are middle-aged, which I think is amazing, because I think this is our moment to shine.'

You have to go back 14 years to 2011 for female nominees to outweigh the men. And even then, Karl Stefanovic claimed the award on the night. In the 11 awards handed out since, only three have been won by women, with tonight a better chance than any to add to that number. Nominee Julia Morris couldn't help but take a swipe at the lack of representation for women this week, joking Hamish Blake's inclusion among the nominees was a win for men. "The girls keep getting all the opportunities," she sarcastically told KIIS' Will and Woody. "Women just kept getting so many opportunities. So yes, I think it's time that male voices were heard actually. Someone needs to say something." Six of this year's seven Gold Logie nominees are women and if we're honest, it's about time.

Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle at the nominations event in June, Julia joked that she has 'a lot of strategies in place' to finally take it out this year. 'My campaign strategy is to drive mum's Uber, I drive children to various locations,' she remarked. 'Unpacking the dishwasher is definitely part of my strategy. And what else have I got to do? Oh, keep the pool filled up with the water, because if it goes beneath, then the filter won't work.'

Spider-Man: Brand New Day leaks are here already as filming begins – and they might have just confirmed Mister Negative as the film's villain
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's been filming for mere hours, but major leaks have already emerged from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. As spotted by one bystander on the streets of Glasgow, a heavy-duty armored truck was getting wheeled into position for a sequence in the fourth MCU Spider-Man movie. Look a little closer, however, and you'll see a red demon mark on its side. If you've played Insomniac's Spider-Man games, you might notice how closely that resembles the logo of the Inner Demons, led by a certain Mister Negative. It's something that has quickly sent fans into overdrive, too. It's worth tempering expectations just for now, however. As of writing, the villain for Spider-Man: Brand New Day hasn't been confirmed, nor have we had any announcement regarding which actor – if any – will be playing Mister Negative. A recent glimpse behind the scenes also hinted at D-list villains forming part of the film's rogues' gallery. First debuting in a Free Comic Book Day issue of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2007, Mister Negative (alias Martin Li) is often depicted as a ruthless gunrunner and crime lord who can utilize the power of the Darkforce to control minds, manipulate energy, and be imbued with superstrength. Notably, he worked to create the Devil's Breath, an immensely powerful bioweapon, and is perhaps best known for his appearances in Insomniac's Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 games. Spider-Man: Brand New Day once again stars Tom Holland as the titular wallcrawler. He is joined by series mainstays Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, as well as Stranger Things actor Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal, who reprises his role as The Punisher after entering the MCU as part of Daredevil: Born Again. Brand New Day also appears to be set before Avengers: Doomsday. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, will swing into cinemas on July 31, 2026.
