‘Stranger Things’ Characters Are Ready for Battle with 9 Interconnecting Posters
Netflix has released nine posters showing “Stranger Things” characters as they prepare for battle in the wake of Season 5 Volume 1.
Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton each receive their own artwork, which can connect together to create one big image.
The series also stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Cara Buono, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Linda Hamilton, Amybeth McNulty, Alex Breaux, and Jamie Campbell Bower.
With 59.6 million views, “Stranger Things” Season 5 Volume 1 had Netflix’s biggest premiere week ever for an English language show.
The next three episodes drop on December 25, followed the series finale — also in theaters — on December 31. Each volume releases at 5pm PT/8pm ET.
In 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.
Created by The Duffer Brothers, “Stranger Things” debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular properties. Although the series is coming to an end, the franchise will live on with the animated series “Stranger Things: Tales from ’85” in 2026 and a live-action spinoff in the works.
AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
