🎬 Tainment Tuesday: Post 1 – Stranger Things 5, Scream 7 and A Comeback for Cartoons

The entertainment scene is thriving with exciting updates across multiple genres this week:

1. Stranger Things 5 - The Final Chapter Begins Netflix fans, get ready! Stranger Things Season 5 has officially begun filming after a long wait due to industry strikes and production delays. The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that the final season will air in 2025, bringing an end to the beloved Hawkins saga. The latest leaked photo shows Eleven rocking her shaved head again, and speculation is running wild on how the characters will fare in this last chapter. The show’s dark, 80s-themed aesthetic continues to shine, making fans eagerly anticipate the show’s conclusion.

2. Scream 7 Set to Begin Production in 2025 After the success of Scream VI, the next chapter in the Scream franchise is officially confirmed! Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox will reprise their iconic roles, and fans are excited to see what the newest iteration of Ghostface will bring. Reports say this one will lean more heavily into psychological horror, with more intense scares and a focus on identity—a theme consistent with the franchise’s legacy. We may see the Scream universe expand further, but we'll have to wait until 2025 for more details.

3. The Rise of Cartoons with Cultural Depth This week, animation is spotlighting cultural narratives like never before. #1 Happy Family USA, a new animated series, introduces Sharia, the first hijabi lead character in a U.S. cartoon. This milestone aims to portray diverse stories of identity, modesty, and family dynamics within the Muslim American community. The show's thoughtful handling of cultural depth and representation marks a shift in how animated TV is tackling inclusivity and societal themes.
