Netflix announces premiere dates for Affleck and Damon crime thriller, ‘Stranger Things' final season
Advertisement Meanwhile, the final season of 'Stranger Things' comes out in three installments, starting with four episodes on Nov. 26 (that's the day before Thanksgiving, in case you were wondering), followed by three episodes on Christmas, and a finale that will pop up on New Year's Eve. Each episode drops at 8 p.m., so prepare accordingly. You can also expect a time jump — given the relentless march of time and the young cast, it was no longer exactly believable that any of these folks were pre-teens. Season 5 will begin a year after the events of season 4. The streamer has also released Advertisement Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers in "Stranger Things." Courtesy of Netflix The series, created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, first premiered in 2016. The show was a deliberate homage to '80s movies, with its suburban setting and latchkey kids getting into trouble while simultaneously juggling the challenges of school and puberty. Its world has slowly expanded over the years, although in some ways it sounds like they're getting back to their core storytelling in the final season: Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) has gone into hiding, and everyone is anxious at the approaching anniversary of Will's (Noah Schnapp) abduction. Expect the usual '80s haircuts and clothing choices, and let's continue to be grateful that the show has brought about a bit of a Winona Ryder renaissance.

Gold, chunky and chic — Pandora's new collection is an unexpected, summer-ready vibe shift
When I was growing up, a Pandora charm bracelet was a milestone for many girls. 16th, 18th and even 21st birthdays were marked by friends and families all chipping in to purchase the silver chain bracelet, in addition to a few carefully selected charms. I, however, was not one of these girls — the kind of jewellery I favoured consisted of safety pins shoved through the ear, padlocks worn about the neck and studded leather wrist cuffs from Camden Market. Therefore, a dainty heart clasp bracelet with dangling Disney characters, sentimental phrases and initials was never going to be up my street. As I have gotten older, I've held on to this perception of Pandora — that it's only for one, certain type of girl. A girl who probably loves horse riding, lives in the suburbs and gets on with her parents (no shade if that's you, it's just not me). However – and I rarely say this – perhaps I was wrong. In the past year, Pandora has collaborated with fashion designers like London-based Ahluwalia and fellow Copenhagen brand Rotate (with ambassador Pamela Anderson even attending the SS25 show). Its latest global campaign features icons such as Winona Ryder and Iman, and the brand's impressive sustainability initiatives range from lab-grown diamonds to partnering with UNICEF. Last year, Pandora launched its first Essence collection, described as 'representing the freedom to embrace natural forms and fluid lines in everyday style'. From stackable gold rings, pearl embellished earrings and wave shaped bangles, it was a far cry from the aforementioned charm bracelets of my youth. Plus, being made from sterling silver and 14-karat gold plating, all combined with affordable price tags, it's safe to say that my attention definitely piqued. Now, the brand has launched round two of Essence, again being inspired by Mother Nature, with pieces reflecting 'the wonders of the natural world'. The sleekness of the last collection is still present, with a focus on gold hardware across large-link necklaces, ripple-effect rings and wide hoop earrings. I love the bangles — the thin twisted one is £150, and I haven't taken it off since the collection came out. The stackable rings are also great, blending in easily with my own existing collection. And the freshwater pearl necklace has become an absolute staple in my jewellery rotation. While it is on the more expensive side, coming in at £350, it hasn't tarnished whatsoever despite me wearing it daily (I even went swimming in the sea in it recently, oops). It also forms the perfect base layer for other chain necklaces. Of course it wouldn't be Pandora without some charms, and the new summer range includes large starfish, cute seahorses and gem-studded seashells. Pandora introduced keyrings last year, which makes sense given that people are now (literally) fighting one another in the street to get their hands on a Labubu. Not to backtrack on the aforementioned bracelets, but given that the brand started offering charms 25 years ago, it only seems fair that the collective obsession with customisation, nostalgia and all things cute includes Pandora too. I'm quite obsessed with the fact you can seamlessly move the charms from earrings, to necklaces, to bags. As someone who loves being able to customise and alter pieces depending on my outfit, this is a massive bonus — the clippable stud earrings, £40, are kind of a revelation in that sense, and also ideal for people who love to wear mismatched jewellery (AKA me). And while the ocean themed charms demand to be worn by a beach, there's something quite fun about their specific seasonality. Who says you can't wear a starfish necklace on your office commute, anyway? So, consider me a Pandora convert — clearly there isn't just one type of girl its jewellery caters to, but many. With the price, quality, collaborations and sustainability standards all hitting just right, I look forward to seeing what the brand does next.

How much is the 'Stranger Things' star cast earning in the final season? Check out the massive raise in the pay cheques
'Stranger Things' has been winning the hearts of the audience, even if the series was upside down. With fighting Demogorgons and escaping Vecna's trap, the entire star cast managed to earn millions of dollars per season. Let's take a look at the jaw-dropping pay cheques and how the stars ran up the million-dollar hill over the seasons. Millie Bobby Brown Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), with the power of telekinesis and love for Eggo waffles, debuted the season with $30,000 per episode, which remained the same for the following season as well. However, according to IMDB, the pay took a massive jump to $250,000 per episode in season 3, and by season 4, the 21-year-old was earning $300,000 per episode. In the upcoming and final season, Brown has cracked the code and is likely to earn half a million dollars per episode. Considering that season 5 will have eight episodes, the pay will sum up to $4 million. She did not negotiate with the producers in the regular way of thinking about just the series. Netflix and Millie Bobby Brown allegedly shook hands that would cover not only Stranger Things but also another hit film franchise, Enola Holmes. She reportedly earned $10 million for 'Enola Holmes 2,' making her the highest-paid actor under the age of 20. Additionally, she produced the film as well, further boosting the millions in the bank. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like After Losing Weight Kevin James Looks Like A Model 33 Bridges Undo Winona Ryder and David Harbour The veteran stars, Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers) and David Harbour (Chief Hopper), have signed a contract of $9.5 million for the fifth season.

In the third season, the pay cheque had an additional zero at the end of the number, grabbing around $250,000 per episode. In the fifth and final season, the teenage gang, including Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), are likely to earn around $7 million. The Hawkins Magic The soon-to-be-adult and excellent babysitters of Hawkins, Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), started with $150,000 per episode during the debut. For the fifth season, they managed to bag a $6 million deal each.

‘Stranger Things' Season 5 Gets Three-Part Release, Series Finale Set for New Year's Eve
It's the beginning of the end for Netflix's 'Stranger Things.' The streamer revealed the release date for the fifth and final season of the mega hit show, created by the Duffer Brothers, and it's coming in three parts: the first debuting Nov. 26, the second Dec. 25, and the series finale Dec. 31. More from Variety 'One Piece' Casts Mikaela Hoover as Tony Tony Chopper; Netflix to Release Season 2 in 2026 'Squid Game' Season 3 Trailer: Player 456 Finally Discovers Front Man's Betrayal Netflix and Brazilian Tourism Board Embratur Announce Cooperation Agreement to Boost Film-TV Tourism in Brazil The entire cast is back for the three-volume 'Stranger Things' Season 5: 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, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman, Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair and Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna. 'Terminator' star Linda Hamilton is also joining the cast in a mysterious role. 'Stranger Things' Season 4 premiered back in summer 2022 in two parts, released separately in May and July. The episodes were supersized — all over 60 minutes, and the final episode of Part 2 was more than two hours long. It ended with an all-out battle against the evil Vecna and the Demogorgons in the Upside Down, where the beloved newcomer Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) sacrificed himself to save the gang. Vecna is weakened in the aftermath, but remains powerful enough to spread the Upside Down into Hawkins. Everyone in the main cast survives, but Max is left in a coma after Vecna controlled her body. In a cover story with Variety, Sink was especially cryptic when talking about how she filmed Season 5. 'They love having me run,' she said, perhaps referencing the viral 'Running Up That Hill' song from Season 4. 'That's all I'll say.' 'She's going to play a part in the season,' Matt Duffer said. Ross Duffer added, 'But we don't want to reveal how that's possible.' 'Right, because she's in a coma,' Matt says. 'I think she's grown just more confident as an actor and in her choices. We did film a scene the other day with her that was just absolutely heartbreaking. I don't know how she hits those notes.' Watch the teaser for 'Stranger Things' Season 5 below.
