The countdown to the Upside Down’s final chapter is officially on. Stranger Things Season 5 has fans buzzing as Netflix’s hit sci-fi series prepares to wrap up its story after nearly a decade. Since its explosive debut in 2016, the show has become a cultural phenomenon, and now, the long-awaited final season is almost here.

While production was originally set to begin in 2023, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes caused major delays across Hollywood, pushing filming for season 5 into 2024. But now, things are back on track — and it won’t be long before Eleven and the gang return for one last ride.

Hollywood Life has rounded up all the latest news we know about the fifth and final season.

‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Release Date

Stranger Things will release its season 5 episodes in three parts: four episodes on November 26, 2025, three on December 25, and the finale on December 31 in select theaters in the U.S. and Canada.

How to Watch the Stranger Things Season 5 Finale

Screenings of the season 5 finale will be available in 350 theaters across the country and in Canada starting at 5 p.m. PT on December 31, and it will run through January 1, 2026. The finale’s global premiere will still take place on Netflix.

What Will ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Be About?

The show will be coming full circle in the final season. The focus will be back on Will Byers in Stranger Things 5. “Will really takes center stage again in 5,” Ross Duffer told Variety for Noah Schnapp’s Power of Young Hollywood cover story, which was released on August 7. “This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.

Just as filming was about to get underway in May 2023, the Duffers released a note on the official Stranger Things writers’ page and gave an update about the status of season 5. “Duffers here. Writing does not stop when filming begins. While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out. #wgastrong,” the Duffers tweeted.

The Writers Guild of America went on strike on May 1 after negotiations broke down between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which includes companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Disney. The members of the WGA are asking for increased pay, better residuals, staffing requirements, and clarification about the use of AI. Almost two months later, SAG-AFTRA also went on strike. As of August 2023, both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are still on strike.

On March 21, 2023, the Stranger Things writers’ Twitter account gave a little (but exciting) morsel about the fifth and final season. “Season 5 is like if season 1 and 4 had a baby. And then that baby was injected with steroids,” the tweet read.

During his March 2023 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Gaten Matarazzo admitted that it’s going to be bittersweet to say goodbye to the show. “There’s kind of an excitement there because you always want to wrap it up and see how these characters are going to finally develop one last time, and how they’re going to finish their journeys. But also there’s like a deep fear. Not only has it been amazing, but it’s been pretty great job security for a while. Back to freelance,” he said.

When it comes to what he wants to see happen in the final season, Gaten said, “I’d love to see a good launchpad for growth. I’d love to see these characters thrive and move on from the trauma they’ve endured over the past few years.” You ain’t kidding.

Back in January 2023, Noah Schnapp revealed that Stranger Things season 5 would start filming in May 2023. He was asked during a TikTok Live session if the season 5 shooting schedule would interfere with his schooling at the University of Pennsylvania. “I’m done with school in May, and starting to shoot in May,” he said.

During Stranger Things Day on November 6, 2022, the season 5 premiere episode title was announced. The premiere is officially titled “Chapter One: The Crawl.” The first episode of the final season is written by The Duffer Brothers.

On September 20, 2022, the Stranger Things writers confirmed that the grid for the fifth and final season was “complete.” They revealed all the major plot points of season 5, but the entire photo was blurred to prevent spoilers. It appears that, as of right now, season 5 will consist of 8 episodes. Episode 7 is going to be a big one. A portion of the plot is blacked out along with the blurring to keep anything from leaking.

The Stranger Things writers revealed on August 2, 2022, that the writers’ room for the first and final season was officially underway. “Day 1,” the tweet read. The writers also included a photo of a whiteboard with just the Stranger Things 5 logo written on it. Ross Duffer previously revealed that the writers’ room would start in August. “We’re going to take a little vacation in July,” Ross told Collider. “And then we’re going to come back. I know that the writer’s room is going to start in that first week of August.”

When Netflix announced that season 4 would be split into two volumes, the streaming service also included a letter from the creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, a.k.a. the Duffer Brothers. While they wrote that season 4 would be “bigger than ever,” they noted that “it’s also the beginning of the end.”

Their letter continued: “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but — as you’ll soon see for yourselves — we are not hurtling toward our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; season 5 will be the last.

There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes. But first we hope that you stay with us as we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends, of a broken police chief and a ferocious mom, of a small town called Hawkins and an alternate dimension known only as the Upside Down. As always, we are grateful for your patience and support.”

The Duffers have always been adamant that Stranger Things wouldn’t go on for seasons and seasons. However, season 4 was never intended to be the end of the hit Netflix series. “Season 4 won’t be the end,” Ross told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2020. “We know what the end is, and we know when it is. [The pandemic] has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is best for the show. Starting to fill that out gave us a better idea of how long we need to tell that story.”

Stranger Things director and EP Shawn Levy fully supports the decision by the Duffer Brothers to end the show with season 5. “Well, we never wanted to run on fumes and we wanted to only tell as much story as the brothers saw and feel with clarity,” Shawn told Screen Rant in March 2022. “So it’s been clear for a while that they know exactly where we’re headed and this is the arc. We wouldn’t want to stick around for one moment beyond that vision and the clarity of that voice. So rather than focusing on that sad day that happens who knows when, the end of season 5, I’ll just once again reaffirm what I’ve told everyone, which is it has been a long-ass wait for season 4. But I swear to God, the world will realize it’s worth it.”

In an interview with E! News in September 2022, Shawn revealed that the final season “will definitely be more Hawkins-centric.” He didn’t reveal anything about a premiere date but did promise that season 5 “ain’t gonna be smaller” than season 4. “Our ambitions remain pretty high,” Shawn also said, “and the way the audience has grown along with the cinematic scope of the show, I don’t expect that we’re going to mess with that approach going into season five.”

‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Cast

The Hawkins crew is gearing up for one final showdown, and yes, your favorite characters are returning. Netflix has confirmed that the core cast who survived Season 4 will be back to finish the story.

That includes Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Noah Schnapp (Will), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Sadie Sink (Max), Natalie Dyer (Nancy), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), Joe Keery (Steve), and Maya Hawke (Robin). The series veterans Winona Ryder (Joyce) and David Harbour (Hopper) will also return, rounding out the original lineup.

In addition, Brett Gelman (Murray Bauman), Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler), and Amybeth McNulty (Vickie) are all confirmed to return in Season 5. Hollywood Life spoke exclusively with Cara Buono in 2023, and she shared her hopes for one last classic Wheeler family dinner scene. “I hope that there are more of like, in season one, there were a lot of family dinners,” Cara said. “And I loved when the kids came over for dinner… so I hope there’s at least one big dinner at the Wheelers where the kids come over and there’s a lot of awkward stuff going on. That would be really, really fun.”

Jamie Campbell Bower is also set to return as Vecna, and according to him, the villain is far from finished. “He’s pissed, he’s properly vexed,” Jamie told NME. “He’s rebuilding, and he’s out for blood… That classic Jason Voorhees thing—you’ve made a big mistake.”

Maya Hawke opened up to Rolling Stone in 2022 about what she hopes for Robin in the final season. “Well, it’s the last season, so people are probably going to die. I would love to die and get my hero’s moment… But I love the way that the Duffer Brothers love their actors… and they don’t want to kill them. I think that’s a beautiful quality.” She also teased she’d be down for a spinoff—but only if it included co-star Joe Keery, who plays Robin’s best friend, Steve. “He’s so funny and wonderful and smart… I would do anything with him.”

And in a surprise reveal at Netflix’s 2023 TUDUM event, Arnold Schwarzenegger helped announce that Linda Hamilton — his legendary Terminator co-star — joined the cast. “A fantastic actress, a badass,” Schwarzenegger said on stage, as Hamilton appeared via video, adding, “I don’t know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time… I’ll see you in Hawkins.”

Netflix later confirmed Hamilton’s casting with a signature upside-down photo on the Stranger Things Instagram account. Additional new cast members include Nell Fisher as Holly Wheeler, Jake Connelly as Derek, and Alex Breaux as Lt. Akers, among others.

‘Stranger Things’ Run So Far

Stranger Things became a global phenomenon when it premiered on Netflix in 2016. The series catapulted the young stars to superstardom, and they have grown up before our eyes.

Following the success of the second season, the cast reportedly scored major pay raises for season 3 and beyond, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The cast was divided into “different pay tiers” with Winona and David making up the “A tier” that earned them up to $350,000 an episode. The “B tier” included the younger stars like Finn, Gaten, Caleb, and Noah, who started making $250,000 an episode. The “C tier” featured the older kids — Natalia, Charlie, and Joe — who began making $150,000 an episode in season 3.

At the time, it couldn’t be confirmed exactly what Millie was making. After making $30,000 per episode alongside Finn, Gaten, and Caleb, Millie separated herself from the rest of the cast during renegotiations. For season 3, Millie was at least making $250,000 like her fellow young actors, but sources told THR she could be making as high as $350,000 per episode or in her own tier of $300,000 per episode.

What Happened In Season 4?

Stranger Things season 4 introduced the show’s biggest bad yet: Vecna. The Upside Down was created after Eleven battled Henry Creel, who also happened to be One, the first child to be experimented on by Dr. Brenner. When Eleven was a child, Henry/One posed as Peter Ballard at the Hawkins Lab. Once he gained Eleven’s trust, he betrayed her and killed the other children at the lab.

Henry/One faced off against a young Eleven, and she opened the first gate to the Upside Down as she tried to destroy him. Henry/One didn’t die when he was thrown into the Upside Down. Vecna was born. Vecna is the one behind all the chaos that’s been wreaking havoc in Hawkins.

In Volume 2 of Stranger Things season 4, the Hawkins crew (with Eleven’s help) tried to take down Vecna. In the midst of this fight, Eddie sacrificed himself and died in Dustin’s arms, Eleven infiltrated Max’s mind, Jason and Lucas got into a brutal fight, and Max was nearly killed by Vecna. Joseph Quinn became an instant star after his breakout performance as Eddie Munson. Even though Eddie died in season 4, many fans hope that Eddie will return in season 5. “He feels kind of gone, it feels pretty hard to bring him back, I’d say, but, I don’t know,” Joseph told Access about possibly returning.

Shawn Levy spoke about Eddie’s possible return in an interview on the 2022 Emmy Awards red carpet. “A lot of people can’t even handle the thought of a season five without some excuse for Eddie present, he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Highly unlikely, but we hear you world. We know you’re obsessed with Eddie. So are we.”

Joyce and Hopper finally kissed and got out of Russia with Murray. They returned home where they reunited with their kids. However, the current state of Hawkins is borderline ruin. Max did die for a moment before she was brought back to life by Eleven. Max’s death allowed Vecna to get that fourth kill he needed to open the last gate. The faultlines created by the 4 collided at the center of Hawkins, creating massive openings to the Upside Down. The end of the season 4 finale showed the effects of the Upside Down creeping in on Hawkins, and the biggest fight for Eleven and the others is still ahead. Meanwhile, Max is in a coma after her confrontation with Vecna.

“Now that I’m here in Hawkins, I can feel him,” Will said to Mike about Vecna. “And he’s hurt. He’s hurting. But he’s still alive. It’s strange, knowing now who it was this whole time, but I can still remember what he thinks and how he thinks. And he’s not going to stop. Ever. Not until he’s taken everything. And everyone. We have to kill him.”

Is ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 the Last One?

Yes, Netflix and the crew behind the series have said that season 5 is its final one.

Limp Bizkit to continue with tour next month as details emerge on Sam Rivers’ death

by jummy84 October 22, 2025

written by jummy84

Limp Bizkit will reportedly go ahead with their forthcoming tour dates, despite the death of bassist Sam Rivers – further details of which have now emerged.

Rivers, who founded the band with Fred Durst in 1994, passed away last Saturday (October 18). He was 48 years old.

Paying tribute online, Limp Bizkit wrote: “Sam Rivers wasn’t just our bass player – he was pure magic. The pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound.”

Frontman Durst later shared an emotional video message, where he called Rivers a “legend, truly”. He added: “Such a gifted, unbelievably sweet and wonderful person.”

A cause of death was not disclosed at the time. Yesterday (Tuesday October 21), TMZ reported that Rivers had suffered a cardiac arrest on October 18, and was “nonresponsive”.

“Deputies responded to an attended death at that address,” a spokesperson for the St. Johns County, Florida Fire Rescue told the outlet.

An “attended death” is when a person is already suffering from a life-threatening illness. Rivers had worn a “Fuck Cancer” T-shirt while performing with Limp Bizkit this year. However, the official cause of death currently remains unknown.

Additionally, it appears that Limp Bizkit are set to go ahead with their upcoming scheduled live shows. Their ‘Gringo Papi Tour’ with Yungblud, Riff Raff and more is scheduled to kick off in Mexico City on November 29.

Further dates are lined up across South America, with stops in San José, Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.

As The PRP reports, promoters for the Mexico City concert issued the following statement: “Limp Bizkit has decided to continue with its performance on November 29th at the Explanada Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, as part of its ‘Gringo Papi Tour‘ 2025.”

The message added: “That night, every riff and every scream of the crowd will resonate in honor of the great legacy Sam offered to to Nu-Metal, because his energy will never cease.”

Rivers’ final performances with Limp Bizkit took place at Reading & Leeds 2025 in August. The bassist had temporarily departed the band in 2015, before returning to the line-up in 2018.

In 2020, Rivers revealed that his exit five years earlier had been due to liver disease as a result of “excessive drinking”.

“I quit drinking and did everything the doctors told me,” he said. “I got treatment for the alcohol and got a liver transplant, which was a perfect match.”

Durst’s recent video tribute saw him recall meeting Rivers in the 1990s, when he was trying to put together a band in Jacksonville, Florida. He said he saw the musician “killing it on the bass” with another band in a small bar. “I went, ‘Oh my gosh, this guy is amazing’,” he continued.

He later added: “It’s so tragic that he’s not here right now, and I’ve gone through gallons and gallons of tears since yesterday. And I’m thinking, gosh, Sam’s a legend, you know? He did it, he lived it.”

More Details Emerge on Limp Bizkit Bassist Sam Rivers’ Death

by jummy84 October 21, 2025

written by jummy84

More details are surfaced regarding the death of Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers. Meanwhile, the band has vowed to carry on with its upcoming tour.

TMZ has reported that authorities in St. Johns County, Florida, responded to a call this past Saturday, October 18th, for a “nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest.” The St. Johns County Sheriff’s office has not yet determined a cause of death, but deputies noted that their response was part of an “attended death” call, meaning that the deceased individual had been battling a serious or life-threatening illness with death as an expected outcome.

The new details shed light on the state of Rivers health when he passed. The 48-year-old bassist had recently been seen wearing a “Fuck Cancer” shirt while performing onstage, leading fans to speculate that he had been battling the disease. Limp Bizkit bandmate DJ Lethal also posted a photo of Rivers performing in the T-shirt with the hashtag #fuckcancer following Rivers’ passing.

Thieves, What Was Stolen & More Details – Hollywood Life

On the morning of October 19, 2025, the Louvre Museum in Paris became the scene of a shocking daylight heist when a group of masked thieves broke into the Galerie d’Apollon and stole priceless jewels from the French Crown collection. The robbers entered through a window near ongoing renovations, smashed display cases, and vanished within minutes — leaving behind chaos, damage, and global disbelief.

Authorities have since launched a full investigation as experts question how such a high-security institution could be breached so swiftly.

Find out what was stolen, who’s suspected, and what investigators are uncovering about the Louvre robbery below.

Who Are the Louvre Thieves?

French investigators believe a small team of three to four experienced thieves carried out the robbery using a truck-mounted lift to access a side window before museum hours. Security experts say the precision of the operation—from timing to escape—suggests the work of a professional art-crime network rather than opportunistic burglars.

What Did the Thieves Take from the Louvre?

Officials confirmed that nine pieces of jewelry were stolen from the French Crown collection, including items once belonging to Empress Eugénie de Montijo. The jewels include a diamond diadem, gold brooches, and an emerald-studded crown that was later recovered but damaged near the museum’s perimeter.

Laurent Nuñez, France’s interior minister, said to France Inter radio, “They stole jewels which have a real heritage value, an inestimable heritage value.”

Have the Thieves Been Caught?

As of now, no arrests have been made. Authorities are analyzing surveillance footage, tracking cell signals, and coordinating with Interpol to trace possible escape routes. French officials say the suspects acted “calmly and with clear knowledge of the building,” fueling speculation that the group had inside help or prior access to restricted areas.

With the high-profile nature of the theft, the case is being treated as one of the most audacious museum robberies in recent European history.

Was the Louvre Museum Robbed Before?

Yes. The most famous example is the 1911 theft of Mona Lisa by former museum employee Vincenzo Peruggia, who entered disguised as a worker and made off with the painting.

More recently, a painting titled Le chemin de Sèvres was stolen from the Louvre in 1998, marking the last major documented theft prior to 2025.

Dave East Details Nipsey Hussle Collab, Reflects On Balancing ‘Karma’

by jummy84 October 18, 2025

written by jummy84

On a late afternoon video call, Dave East appears relaxed but focused — the kind of energy that suggests both reflection and momentum.

After more than a decade in the game, the Harlem rapper speaks like someone who knows exactly where he’s been and where he’s headed. His voice carries the weight of experience: years of lyrical output, collaborations with heavyweight producers like Harry Fraud and Scram Jones, and a steady rise from hungry newcomer to respected mainstay in hip-hop’s evolving landscape.

Now, with the release of Karma 4 on October 15, 2025, East is looking to the future while honoring everything that’s shaped him. The fourth installment of the series he launched in 2017, Karma 4 is his most ambitious to date — a fully realized project that threads together the raw storytelling fans expect with records tailored for a broader audience.

Laze Cartel

It’s gritty and polished, confident and vulnerable. And with a star-studded guest list, the album serves as a reminder of the respect East commands across the industry.

Among its standout moments is a long-shelved collaboration with the late Nipsey Hussle, a track that symbolizes East’s independent spirit and commitment to betting on himself. He talks openly during the call about the importance of good karma, the creative freedom that came with releasing the album independently, and how the streaming era has helped him build a deeper connection with fans over time.

Outside of music, East continues to make strides in acting, growing his on-screen presence while maintaining the authenticity that built his name. But Karma 4 is the moment that centers it all. It’s a statement project that pulls from every corner of his identity and pushes his artistry forward with purpose.

VIBE spoke with Dave East about the making of his latest album, expanding his ground as a creative, and his continued evolution as an artist and as a man.

VIBE: You’re currently getting ready to release your new album Karma 4? How would you say that you have evolved the most musically and otherwise from the first one to now?

Dave East: Just getting older, man, I had two more daughters, Kobi and Kasey, since Kairi. And just living. Took a lot of losses, a lot of wins. I felt like it was a really balanced journey for me, as far as the good and the bad, which is regular life sh*t. Nothing that even has to do with the music. And I think just over time of me learning how to channel that energy better into the music, you’re going to hear it on Karma 4.

The project is led by the singles “Bottega Trunks” and “Havana.” How did those songs come together, and what spurred you to preview the album with those two tracks?

The “Havana record, shout to Chad and Lex, Hot Honors, they produced that. It just had like a golden New York bounce to that joint. So I wanted to come out with some energy as far as the first record I wanted to put out. The “Bottega Trunks.” Shout out to Stove God Cooks. That’s the first time me and him got to really collab, [but] we’ve been kicking it for a while. And that’s just a different whole type of sound and vibe. Shout to Nic Craven. He produced that one. But that’s just a more melodic, different sound from me that I feel like I didn’t put out before.

Right. One of the tracks from the album that people are looking forward to is the joint with you and Nipsey Hussle, with whom you built a brotherhood prior to his passing. What’s your recollection of the making of that track?

We recorded a bunch of joints before he passed and sh*t like that. That was one of them. I never got a chance to put him on none of my tapes. So the records that me and him are on together that are out, like “Clarity,” “Blueprint,” he put them on his project. I felt like now with me being independent, and that’s really what Nip stood for [it was time]. He really waved that independent flag, ‘F**k the middle man.’ That’s what he was about. With this body of work, I think it was the perfect time to drop that joint.

Who are some other producers you worked with on Karma 4?

Mr. Authentic. He’s an early dude in my camp. Me and him have been locked in for years. Like I said, Chad and Lex, they go by Hot Honors. They were really the new sound for me moving forward with this project. Nic Craven, too. I would say those two were the newer producers that I hadn’t worked with before.

But I got Mike & Keys on this joint, that’s the home team. I got Buda & Grands on this joint, that’s home team. I kind of mixed it up. I’m always working with the home team, but I like to kind of [collaborate with other producers] if somebody got a new sound or something that fits. If it moves and pushes the music forward, I’m all with it.

Aside from those joints, what are like two or three tracks that you’re excited for the fans to hear? Maybe they’re your favorites, or maybe they brought out a certain emotion or mood?

I would definitely say “Stand On That” with Jeremiah. And I would say “Can’t Get Enough” with Jacquees just because I get a lot of feedback about me not really doing a lot of female-driven records. And those two are definitely female-driven. I just can’t wait to see the response to them.

Right. You got any other features besides those?

I got Mozzy on a joint. Skyler Blatt did the outro. Wiz Khalifa, me, and Wiz locked back in. Key Glock. That was the first time me and Key Glock were able to connect. Rest in peace to [Young] Dolph, that’s how I kind of got with Glock, through Dolph. My brother Cruch Calhoun. I got Neek Bucks on there. I got King Streets on there. I got Maino on there. I got some joints on there, man. I don’t want to leave nobody out, but it’s definitely balanced out as far as features.

In addition to Hip-Hop, you’ve also built your resume as an actor. What’s the latest news on those fronts?

I just got cast for a new movie. I can’t really speak on the details and sh*t like that, but maybe later this year or top of ’26, that information will be coming out. I got cast [for another project]. It’s a different type of film, too. A different look for me. So I’m looking forward to that.

You recently appeared on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 streaming event. How did that opportunity come about, and what was that like tapping into the streaming world?

That was dope. I was in L.A. already running around, getting this album ready to roll out or whatever, and they invited me over there. I f**k with Kai Cenat. I like his whole platform and just what they’re doing for the youth right now.

I feel like for me, that was a great look to premiere the Nipsey record up there because I felt like I brought Nip up there with me, you know what I mean? Big shoutout to the whole streaming world. I like what they’re doing. I like how they’re pushing the culture forward. That was a great opportunity.

What would you say is the best karma you’ve ever had?

The best karma? Just in life?

Yeah, whatever you feel.

(Ponders briefly) I think I put out good energy. I think the way I’ve been with my parents, my mother, my father, my grandmother, all of the people that raised me. I think the way that I’ve been back to them has given me good karma. It’s giving me a great way to navigate through this life.

They always say, ‘Watch how you treat your parents. Watch how you treat your people that really raised you or cared about you.’ So, I think a lot of my good karma comes from just how I am as a father. How I am as a son. How I was as a grandchild. God bless my grandma’s soul. My aunts, my uncles, you know what I mean? I’m always respectful. Nobody’s perfect, but I’ve I’ve always been respectful to those that I know really, truly love me.

I think the karma that I’m seeing from that now is the success. Me being able to live out my dreams and do the things that I once really sat and dreamed about and had no idea how I was going to do it. Now, all that is a part of my reality. I think karma is just putting [out] good. Whatever you put into the universe, it’s going to come back to you. I mean, in some form or fashion. It’ll come back.

Do you have any plans to tour in support of this album?

Hell yeah. We’re putting that together now. Definitely going to touch overseas with this one. In the U.S., of course. But yeah, we’re putting that together right now.

Do you have any thoughts on any acts that you’ll bring along with you?

I’m not sure right now. I’m going to see.

Will there be a Karma 5, and how long do you plan on keeping the series running?

You know what’s crazy? Somebody asked me that the other day. I feel like the title Karma is something that I could keep going with. But yeah, I don’t know when I’m going to stop that one or when I’m going to do Karma 5.

I’ve got so many other projects and other bodies of work that I’m already cooking up and working on. So, I might tap back into the Karma series later on at another date, but right now, I’m all about Karma 4, intro to outro. That’s what I’m pushing right now.

What’s next for Dave East?

Just more music, man. More acting, me [being] more in the fashion world. Just more of everything that falls under my umbrella. I feel like I’ve branded myself in a way where the sky’s the limit. I could tap into a bunch of different platforms and worlds, and it’s all me.

None of it’s forced. I ain’t sold my soul or none of that weirdo sh*t. I think about just moving forward, watching my daughters grow, sh*t like that. And just branding myself even more as a staple when it comes to New York City and Hip-Hop in general.

Listen to Dave East Karma 4 below.

‘The Rainmaker’ Season 2 Details Revealed: Everything to Know

The case came to a satisfying end in The Rainmaker‘s finale on Friday (October 17) night. But is there more to come from this book-to-screen world?

The first season of the new USA Network series followed Rudy Baylor (Milo Callaghan), a brand-new lawyer, as he took on the case of the century against a major healthcare corporation on behalf of his client, a grieving mother who was convinced her son’s death was the hospital’s fault. In the process, he had to go toe-to-toe with his own ex-girlfriend, Sarah Plankmore (Madison Iseman), and the man who’d fired him on his first day, Leo Drummond (John Slattery), on behalf of the ragtag team assembled by Bruiser (Lana Parrilla). All the while, they dealt with a serial killer on the loose, a neighbor’s abusive husband, and nonstop twists in the courtroom proceedings.

So, will the show return for Season 2? And what might a second season of the series entail? TV Insider talked to the cast and creatives to get the scoop.

Will The Rainmaker Season 2 happen?

At this time, USA Network has not announced a second season order for The Rainmaker. However, the ratings were very strong at the start of the series, with 16 million viewers, and it became the most-watched new series for the network in years throughout its run. In other words, the answer, at this time, is a definite maybe.

What will happen in The Rainmaker Season 2?

Creator Michael Seitzman told TV Insider that while he was pondering a second season, he hadn’t quite landed on whether it would involve bringing back the first season’s slate of characters or not.

“I don’t know. I have a lot of ideas for Season 2, but none of them have really calcified yet in my mind, and some of them include those characters, and some of them don’t. There’s a part of me that wonders if we just completely wipe the slate clean in Season 2, and the characters who are not in trouble come back, and the other characters who were in trouble, we treat that as backstory. There’s another part of me that wonders how I could bring them back, but it’s a tricky thing. I have to think about it some more,” he said. “But I really love these characters, so, it’s very hard to say goodbye to them. I also really love the actors who played the characters. It was a very special experience for all of us. We all went to Dublin together. Everybody got very close. We worked really closely together, and we felt very proud of what we created together by the end. So, saying goodbye to the actors is as hard as, I think, the characters.”

Who will star in The Rainmaker Season 2?

A cast list for a second season hasn’t been announced, and, as noted above, even Seitzman hasn’t decided a creative direction for it. However, Milo Callaghan is ready to jump on board if it happens.

“I’m here for seven seasons, so let’s go,” he said. “We’re always having conversations… I hope so. I hope we get the gang back together, and I hope we meet another adversary on the road, and I’m excited.”

He’s not the only Season 1 star who’d like to return to their roles, either. P.J. Byrne revealed that his hope for a second season would see Bruiser’s firm take on even bigger nemeses: “Honest to God, I want to see, now that we’ve sort of got a little jingle in our pocket, if you will, and we’ve finally got the seal of good housekeeping that the world can see we are truly a super duper law firm, let’s go fight bigger, badder humans,” he said.

Meanwhile, Lana Parrilla said she would like to explore more of Bruiser’s personal life in Season 2 and she’d want to “dive into her relationship with men a little bit more, what’s going on there?”

The photo showed the couple with Joe’s dog Bubbles, and Caitlin flashed her ring. The caption read “June 24th, 2025”, confirming the day of the proposal.

While Joe Manganiello is expected to have a net worth of around $40 million, as of 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth, many are curious about his fiancée’s net worth as well.

Caitlin O’Connor net worth

Manganiello has an impressive net worth on the back of successful acting stints in shows like True Blood or the Magic Mike series. However, his partner’s net worth is not a matter of public information.

One report claimed that Caitlin O’Connor is worth somewhere between $3 – $6 million, but there is no confirmation of the same. HT.com could not verify the claims about O’Connor’s net worth.

One of O’Connor’s previous jobs was at Disneyland, where she was Sleeping Beauty, according to IMDb. In 2024, it was reported that people portraying characters at Disneyland made $24.15 per hour, and an additional $4.75 per hour, if they appeared on stage. However, O’Connor’s major source of income is from her acting career, and her jobs as a host.

The 36-year-old has served as a host for ArsenicTV, Maxim Magazine and TheChive, and has interviewed many celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Post Malone. Speaking to City Scene, O’Connor had explained “Maxim is one of my biggest platforms. Hosting for them, as well as TheChive and a few other outlets, has really been my bread and butter.”

She has also appeared in numerous films and TV shows including Two and a Half Men, Southpaw, Key & Peele, and Winning Time, which was on HBO. However, O’Connor’s salary for her hosting and acting gigs is not known.

She reportedly met Manganiello in a ‘hot tub’ in 2023, People reported.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is no longer moving at a glacial pace. The project is currently in production in New York City, and Disney has confirmed a 2026 release date! The movie will premiere about 20 years after the first film hit theaters and went on to become a timeless classic with references that nobody in Hollywood tires of (Gird your loins!)

Now, the question is when can we finally see Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and company reprise their roles from The Devil Wears Prada?

Hollywood Life has all the details on The Devil Wears Prada sequel below.

Devil Wears Prada 2 Release Date

The Devil Wears Prada sequel will be released on May 1, 2026, Disney confirmed.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast

Anne, Emily, Meryl and Stanley are all reprising their roles — with Anne as Andrea “Andy” Sachs, Emily as Emily Charlton, Meryl as Miranda Priestly and Stanley as Nigel — Disney confirmed in June 2025. They officially began production that month.

That fall, Lady Gaga was reported to be appearing in the film.

What Will The Devil Wears Prada 2 Be About?

The Devil Wears Prada 2 will focus on Miranda struggling to manage the gradual downfall of print magazine publishing, according to The Wrap. With Runway in decline, Miranda asks her former assistant Emily for advertising dollars, and the latter now works as an executive at a luxury brand.

Is The Devil Wears Prada About Anna Wintour?

The creators behind the film — which is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger — have not held back in sharing their inspirations behind the film’s apathetic fashion world setting. While it’s not entirely inspired by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, fashion designers were too afraid to lend costume pieces to the film in fear of Anna’s reaction, writer Aline Brosh McKenna told Entertainment Weekly in 2021.

“I had enormous trouble finding anyone in the fashion world who’d talk to me, because people were afraid of Anna and Vogue, not wanting to be blackballed,”Aline said. “There was one person who spoke to me, whose name I will never divulge, who read it and said, ‘The people in this movie are too nice. No one in that world is too nice. They don’t have to be, and they don’t have time to be.’ After that, I did a pass to make everyone a bit busier and meaner.”

In spite of this, Anna has had a sensor of humor about the film. In January 2024, the fashion queen and Anne made cameos in Broadway’s Gutenberg as producers, who hand the stars of the show a Broadway contract at the end.

Anna announced she was stepping down from her role as EIC of Vogue in June 2025.
