But Vecna has vanished. Meanwhile, Eleven is once again forced into hiding as government forces close in. As the anniversary of Will Byers' original disappearance approaches, an ominous sense of dread spreads across the town. 'To end this nightmare,' the trailer warns, 'they'll need everyone, the full party, standing together, one last time.'

Liam Payne reflects on boy band days in Netflix's Building the Band
Released July 16, Episode 7 of Netflix's Building the Band features Liam Payne delivering both playful and warm guidance as he judges musical contestants. Filmed in September 2024, just weeks before Payne's death in October at 31, the episode centers on contestants from Midnight 'Til Morning performing the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris.' Payne begins with lighthearted feedback, noting that their stage movements included 'running about, waving your arms in the air.' Later, he joked, 'We're amazing dancers, obviously, in One Direction, it's what we're known for,' delivering the line with a tongue-in-cheek grin before illustrating with a deliberately understated hip sway modeled after George Michael, proving that strong presence often trumps choreography. The tone then shifts to encouragement as Payne tells the performers, 'I feel warm,' praising the emotional resonance of their performance and emphasizing chemistry and connection over flashy dance moves. Throughout the series, Payne appears as a main judge alongside Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger. The show was posthumously dedicated to his memory following his fall in October 2024. Building the Band remains his final TV project, extending his legacy of mentorship and musical guidance.

Oprah Winfrey can't resist poking fun at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's last name
Oprah Winfrey recently shared a light-hearted moment regarding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's last name, 'Sussex,' during an appearance on Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa. The conversation took place on Wednesday, when Winfrey was asked about the possibility of receiving baby chicks as a gift. She joked that she would promptly take them over to the 'Sussexes,' playfully adding extra 'xes' to the couple's already distinctive surname. Winfrey, a longtime friend of the royal couple, was invited to their 2018 wedding and also conducted their famous interview that aired in 2021. The couple, who stepped down from their senior royal duties, later settled in California, where they shared their chicken coop with Winfrey in a candid moment during the interview. The 'Sussex' surname has become a topic of conversation before. Earlier this year, actress Mindy Kaling appeared on Markle's Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, where she accidentally referred to Markle as 'Meghan Markle' multiple times. Markle quickly corrected her, remarking, 'You know I'm Sussex now,' emphasizing the importance of her new family name. In an interview with People, Markle elaborated on the emotional significance of the name for her family. "It just means so much to go, 'This is our family name, our little family name,'" she said, adding that sharing the surname with her children, Archie and Lili, was deeply meaningful. The Duchess further shared her appreciation for the name, describing it as a special bond for her family.
