Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 earned seven Emmy nominations, but was left out from the Best Drama Series category ever in its run. The nominations include work by Wētā FX, which earned a further nod for visual effects. Cast member Millie Bobby Brown revealed that co‑stars monitored her diet while filming.
Emmy analysts consider The Pitt, Widow’s Bay and Beef leading the awards race. The three programmes have gathered about 60 nominations together, placing them well ahead of the sci‑fi series. The show has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut. Fans remain hopeful that the series will regain a drama slot next year.
