With the fifth and final season of 'Stranger Things' due to premiere later this year, the creators are pulling out all the stops to generate excitement.

He posted two images from an editing suite and revealed that the first two episodes of 'Stranger Things Season 5' are complete. In the caption, he wrote, 'Chapters One and Two: locked, mixed, scored, coloured, DONE (sic)."Take a look at the picture:

He went on to say, ''The Crawl' is our favourite and most eventful opening episode since Season 1 (sic).'
The pilot episode of 'Stranger Things', titled Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers, originally aired on July 15, 2016, and launched the gripping saga that would become a global sensation. That debut not only introduced audiences to the terrifying Demogorgon but also depicted young Will's desperate attempt to escape it.

Ross also teased the second episode of Season 5, writing, ''The Vanishing of' (yes yes, you think you know who, blah blah) features by far the wildest cold open we've ever done. One of the sequences we're most proud of this season.' He refrained from revealing which character vanishes in the episode. Ross signed off cheekily, adding, 'I would tell you runtimes, but I was told not to. Maybe later.'Following the Instagram post, 'Stranger Things' fans quickly began sharing their reactions, many expressing their eagerness and emotional anticipation for the final season. One fan quipped, 'The vanishing of my emotional stability.' Another commented, 'I'm ready to watch but not ready for it to end,' while someone else joked, 'The vanishing of my childhood after this season wraps, smh (sic).'On July 16, Netflix released the first teaser trailer for 'Stranger Things Season 5'. The three-minute preview promises a gripping, emotional, and action-packed finale, as the residents of Hawkins brace themselves for a final confrontation with Vecna. According to Netflix's official synopsis, '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.'advertisementTo mark the occasion with grandeur, Netflix will release the final season in three parts. Volume 1 arrives on November 26, Volume 2 on December 25, and the concluding chapter drops on New Year's Eve. The beloved ensemble cast returns, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, and Maya Hawke.

Meet Kishore Kumar's granddaughter, who is as beautiful as any Bollywood heroine, stays away from glitz and glamour, works as a…, she is…

Whenever the children of Bollywood stars and singers enter the limelight, fans expect them to make a name for themselves in the entertainment world. However, many star kids neither liked glamour nor did they dream of making a name for themselves in the industry. One of these star kids is the granddaughter of legendary singer Kishore Kumar. Meet Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Ameet Kumar may have followed in the footsteps of his father Kishore Kumar, but his granddaughter neither carried forward her grandfather's legacy nor entered the world of entertainment. Let's see the list of fields in which Vrienda Ganguly has become an expert, apart from her grandfather Kishore Kumar and father Ameet. What does Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Vrienda do for a living? Kishore Kumar, who gave many great songs to Hindi cinema, has two granddaughters, Muktika and Vrienda Ganguly. While his first granddaughter, Muktika, is making a name for herself in the music industry like her grandfather Kishore and father Amit Kumar, and is carrying forward their music legacy, Vrienda has no connection with the entertainment world. According to a report in The Times of India, Vrienda, who has recently come into the limelight, is the elder daughter of singer Amit Kumar, a well-known tarot card reader, physical healer, and spiritual mentor. She runs her own YouTube channel, Vreevolution, where she inspires people on various topics, ranging from love to life purpose and financial problems. She has 6000 subscribers on YouTube. Took acting training with Shah Rukh Khan Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Vrienda may be far from the world of acting, but she has complete knowledge of the art of acting. She has taken her acting lessons from the same John Barry Acting School, which has produced kings of the industry like Shah Rukh Khan. Despite learning acting, Kishore Kumar's granddaughter never tried her hand at films. Since 2017, she is focusing only on astrology and tarot card reading. She guides people in their life challenges and decisions. Kishore Kumar's granddaughter is very beautiful It is very difficult to take your eyes off the beauty of Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Vrienda Ganguly. In terms of beauty with brains, Vrienda gives tough competition to big actresses like Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Priyanka Chopra. Apart from YouTube, Tarot Card Reader Vrienda Ganguly has around 5 thousand followers on Facebook. Where her bio says, 'I will help you find your path in life, love life, financial future, etc., through Tarot Card Reading'. She is also on Instagram, but her account there is private.

'Futuristic' Ground With Nap Zone, Special Staff To 'Play With Over-Active Kids'. It's Located In...

Last Updated: August 06, 2025, 07:00 IST From spotless bathrooms to café-style meals, the space is designed for both kids and parents. (Photo Credits: Instagram) A woman shared why she has chosen to raise her child in China instead of America, and her latest reason has left the internet amazed. Through a now-viral video, she gave a sneak peek into what indoor playgrounds in China look like today. 'I can't believe what some indoor playgrounds in China look like now… I took my son to Meland in Beijing and was BLOWN AWAY. It felt like stepping into the future, a mix between an amusement park, a massive jungle gym, and endless pretend-play stations where kids can go wild all day," she shared in her post on Instagram. The video shows an indoor space that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie, complete with glowing tunnels, space-themed installations, and soft padded play zones. Parents can be seen comfortably enjoying the surroundings while their kids explore freely. Designed for Kids, Loved by Parents More than just fun, the playground offers convenience and comfort for parents too. 'They've got a café with legitimately yummy food (and I'm picky!), plus nutritious kids' meals. Need a nap zone? Done. Baby feeding or diaper changes? They've got dedicated spots for that too. And the bathrooms? Spotless—staff were constantly cleaning, so everything felt pristine," she added in her post. Unlike many indoor play spaces that often feel chaotic and poorly maintained, this one stands out for its cleanliness and thoughtful design. The woman appreciated how the playground seemed to have been built with both children and parents in mind. Futuristic and Beautiful 'But the real shocker? The aesthetics. Most playgrounds are… let's be real—ugly. Clashing colours, zero design sense. Meland's the opposite. They collaborate with artists, and every detail looks like it was styled by a pro. Even the colour scheme feels intentional," the post read. The design isn't just functional; it is visually stunning. The lighting, artwork, and colours come together to create a space that feels futuristic and imaginative. It is easy to see why kids would want to spend hours there, and why adults are equally impressed. Watch the video here: Social Media Loves It The video, shared on May 9, has already gained over 9 lakh views. In the comments, many users were in awe. A person asked, 'Omg, where is this? Would love to check it out!" Another said, 'Where's the adult version of this? I need to go!" Swipe Left For Next Video View all 'How much does it cost to go there? So interesting," a user asked. China's playground game is on another level, and the world is taking notice.
