Stranger Things season 5 trailer release could arrive sooner than expected
A new viral theory has emerged suggesting that the trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 could drop this March, and fans are excited about the possibility.
As one of the most eagerly awaited TV events, fans have been eagerly speculating about when they will catch the first glimpse of the final season. The latest theory links the trailer's potential release to an important date for a key character, Will Byers.
According to the theory, the trailer may be released on March 22, 2025, which coincides with Will Byers' birthday, as revealed in Stranger Things Season 4. Although the show previously made a continuity error by forgetting Will's birthday, the mistake became a beloved inside joke within the fanbase. Now, fans believe that the showrunners could redeem themselves by releasing the highly anticipated Season 5 trailer on this date, making it a meaningful nod to the character and the show's loyal followers.
While Netflix has not officially confirmed the trailer's release date, this theory has gained significant traction due to the show's history of revealing small hints about the final season. Releasing the trailer on Will's birthday would not only be a clever acknowledgment of the fanbase but also serve as a tribute to the often-overlooked character.
The main cast for Stranger Things Season 5 has already been confirmed, with Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Noah Schnapp as Will, Sadie Sink as Max, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, and Natalia Dyer as Nancy. In addition to these familiar faces, fans can also expect new and exciting characters to be introduced, though details about the new cast members have yet to be revealed.

Cate Blanchett shocks fans with Squid Game season 3 cameo
Cate Blanchett makes a surprise cameo in the final moments of Squid Game Season 3, which was released globally on June 27, 2025. She plays a mysterious recruiter in what appears to be a US based extension of the deadly game. The scene is set in Los Angeles, where Blanchett's character engages in a game of ddakji with a man on the street mirroring the original recruitment method from Season 1. After delivering a slap and handing over the familiar invitation card, she walks away, while the Front Man observes the interaction from a distance. The brief yet impactful appearance has led to immediate speculation about a potential American spin-off of the series. Show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed Blanchett's involvement was kept under wraps and praised her for filming the scene in a single take. He noted her charisma and precision made her an ideal fit for the teaser-style role. Though Netflix has not officially confirmed an American version of Squid Game, industry reports suggest development discussions are underway. Blanchett's cameo is being interpreted by fans and critics as a strategic setup for a global franchise expansion. Season 3 continued Seong Gi-hun's journey and expanded on the international scope of the Squid Game operations. Reviews have been mostly positive, praising the show's sustained tension, thematic complexity, and the unexpected twist in its closing moments. Blanchett's role, brief but symbolically loaded adds a new layer to the series' evolving universe, possibly positioning her as a central figure in future installments beyond South Korea.

'Squid Game' recap: Everything to remember ahead of Season 3 launch
Netflix's global hit Squid Game returns for its third and final season today. Ahead of the highly anticipated release, here are the key developments from Season 2 that fans need to remember, which expanded the story beyond the original deadly contest. Season 2 followed Seong Gi-hun as he launched his own search for the game's architect, sending henchmen to locate the mysterious Recruiter. A tense face-off ended with the Recruiter's death in a rigged game of Russian roulette, revealing deeper corruption in the system. Meanwhile, detective Jun-ho resumed his investigation, uncovering Gi-hun's headquarters and chasing fresh leads on the island's location. The series also introduced new perspectives. Kang No-eul, a North Korean defector, entered the games disguised as a guard in hopes of finding her daughter. A crypto scammer, a shaman, and a mother-son duo were among the desperate contestants caught in a web of betrayal and shifting alliances. Games like the Six-Legged Pentathlon initially fostered cooperation, but the structure quickly collapsed under pressure, with non-game violence escalating tensions. An attempted rebellion by Gi-hun and allies inside the dormitory was short-lived, culminating in the Front Man infiltrating their ranks and killing Jung-bae. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk has teased a 'hopeful' but emotionally intense finale. As viewers prepare for the concluding chapter, Season 2's expanding narrative and psychological complexity set the stage for what may be the series' most dramatic turn yet. Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix at 12 am PT / 3 am ET.

Court issues new orders against Liver King following release after Joe Rogan threats
Brian Johnson, known as the "Liver King," has been released from jail after posting a $20,000 bond following his arrest on charges of making terroristic threats against podcaster Joe Rogan. Johnson, 47, was arrested on June 24 in Austin, Texas, after police contacted Rogan, who expressed concern over Johnson's online posts, which he believed were threatening. Johnson's arrest took place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, where he was booked for a terroristic threat causing fear of imminent bodily harm. In addition to posting bond, Johnson is subject to a restraining order that requires him to stay at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family members. The court also mandated that Johnson undergo a mental health evaluation within a week of his release (Travis County Court records). Despite the legal trouble, Johnson resumed posting on Instagram, where he has 3 million followers, and continued to claim that he wanted to fight Rogan. In one video, Johnson said, 'We came here to pick a fight, and we're gonna do it,' further addressing Rogan with, 'I would love to man-to-man challenge you to a fucking fight. No one's going to die. But I hope we'll both get hurt.' Johnson even made a joke about his conflict being with actor Seth Rogen, while also revealing that he was wearing an ankle bracelet and had a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. The situation stems from comments Rogan made on his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' where he criticized Johnson's steroid use and mocked his 'ancestral diet.' Despite this, Rogan told the police he had never interacted with Johnson before, and it's unclear what motivated Johnson's public feud. Johnson's controversy further escalated with the release of Netflix's documentary, "Untold: The Liver King," which exposed his steroid use after promoting an all-natural, ancestral lifestyle online.
