As “Stranger Things” closed out its five-season run, the tentpole series had a seismic impact on both Netflix and the overall the TV landscape

Apple TV’s Pluribus made its first appearance in the rankings in the week its seventh episode premiered. The sci-fi series/character study from creator Vince Gilligan, which stars Rhea Seehorn, drew 360 million minutes of viewing for the week.

In any case, Linda Hamilton deserved better from her time on Stranger Things. My only hope now is that if the live-action spinoff in development takes place after Season 5, Dr. Kay is brought back for it. She has the potential to be a good character, but the now-concluded flagship show failed to utilize her properly.

“Stranger Things” also evokes the show’s upside-down mirror universe this week as its first season takes the tenth and final spot on our most-watched list, as audiences either raced to catch up, or decided to start all over again after the big finale.

After the series finale of the Netflix megahit, fans have been spiraling over a viral online theory that the flagship series may not be finished. But the Duffers have already confirmed: "This is finite.

Noah Schnapp tells PEOPLE that he felt there was "a little bit left unsaid" after Will came out as gay, so he asked the series creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, to add a scene to the 'Stranger Things' finale to "close that story properly.

Matt and Ross Duffer are the focus of the documentary, but stars Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard and Schnapp are among those who also share their experiences on the show and reflect on it coming to an end. Here, Radwan talks about how she directed “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5.”

The streamer addressed the future of the "Stranger Things" universe. Here’s what's confirmed and what remains unclear.

Sadie Sink revealed why she was accidentally "really tan" in 'Stranger Things' season 2 when her character Max Mayfield debuted on the Netflix hit show in when the actress was 14 years old.

One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 is a two-hour documentary that will hit Netflix on Jan. 12. Directed by Martina Radwan (a 2024 Emmy winner for Girls State ), the doc gives viewers an inside look at the filmmaking process of the last eight episodes of Matt and Ross Duffer 's generation-defining series.
