The "Stranger Things" trailer for the show's fifth and final season finally dropped -- and Hawkins' finest are ready to turn Vecna into yesterday’s nightmare in one last, epic upside-down showdown!

The nearly 3-minute trailer is worth every second -- showing the gang hell‑bent on taking down monstrous Vecna after it left Max in a coma ... and serving up an explosive first look at '80s icon Linda Hamilton as the ultimate badass Dr. Kay. Yup, pure retro gold.

The trailer pulls no punches -- the final battle is darker, deadlier, and more powerful than anything Eleven and the gang have ever faced, forcing them to unite one last time to stop the Upside Down from swallowing Hawkins whole.

Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway were voted off "Love Island USA" this week when America decided who their favorite couple is so far -- their pairing was dead last, so they got a one-way ticket home ... but they tell us their relationship wasn't given a fair chance!!!

If there's anyone they'd sacrifice for a spot back on the island, they'd throw Huda Mustafa and her connection with Chris Seeley overboard without hesitation -- saying their relationship is way more genuine than people know, and Huda's stubbornness ruined what she had going with Chris ... nothing new for our problematic queen.

Huda has been blasted with intense heat this season, online and from other islanders. Taylor and Clarke think there's no chance of her rekindling the connection with Chris, because she's stubbornly hard-headed.

The last time Katie Taylor shared the ring with Amanda Serrano, the fight was so awesome that it somehow overshadowed Mike Tyson and Jake Paul ... and now the star pugilists will once again come face-to-face to settle the score!!

TMZ Sports spoke with 39-year-old super lightweight champion leading up to the July 11 scrap at the World's Most Famous Arena, MSG, about the importance of the all-female event that'll also be streaming on Netflix ... and Katie hardly believes it's real.

"It's amazing. I think the fights are just getting bigger and bigger, to be honest," Taylor said.

Liam Payne's passion for music and impact on "Building the Band" will be felt on the new show ... this according to Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean.

The singer-songwriter -- who is hosting the show -- opened 'BtB' with a heartfelt tribute to the late One Direction star ... saying they never thought they'd be saying goodbye to him so soon.

LP appears as a guest judge in later episodes -- which will be released several at a time over the next few Wednesdays -- and, McLean says his love of music and commitment to helping contestants find their voices will be evident.

It's been a week since "Karate Kid" star Martin Kove was accused of biting Alicia Hannah-Kim’s arm at a fan convention in Washington ... and the "Cobra Kai" actress is finally ready to address the headlines.

Alicia recently took to IG where she spoke to her fans ... thanking them for their concern and support -- while making clear she's still pissed about the "serious incident." She added, “No one wants to be attacked at work, or anywhere really. And I don’t think anybody would think this is normal or warranted or acceptable.”

TMZ broke the news that police took a report after Alicia accused her costar of biting her arm so hard at the fan convention, he nearly broke the skin ... and then allegedly kissed her arm when she yelled out in pain.

"Schitt's Creek" had a rocky start with audiences upon its 2015 debut, although it quickly found a fan base after its premiere on Netflix in 2017.

And many of the show's fans remained steadfast with the program for the length of its six-season run, which ultimately came to a close in 2020.

We're going to take a look back at what the principal cast of the comedy series has described as their favorite aspects of the project and see what made the program so special in their eyes.

To kick things off, we're checking out what Eugene Levy, who portrayed former video store magnate Johnny Rose throughout the run of the show, which he co-created.

Following the conclusion of the show, the actor spoke to Variety and admitted that he "loved going into work every day" based on the strength of the show's cast, which included his son Dan.

Levy added that he felt as if the show's crew was also "great" to work with, and stated that he would have been happy to work on the show indefinitely.

However, he stated that he understood the need to leave the program on a high note, stating that he wanted to "get out while the going’s good."

Co-headlining the show is Catherine O'Hara, whose portrayal of former soap opera star Moira Rose earned her a Primetime Emmy Award in 2020.

The performer has since stated that she was grateful for the opportunity to work with the elder Levy, whom she had known for decades prior to the show's inception.

The actress told The Guardian that, despite having numerous credits to her name, she was still nervous working on her own, as she often felt "too much pressure" to succeed.

O'Hara then remarked that, as she was able to lean on Levy and his family for support while working on the show, she felt like she could "share the showing off."

Dan Levy received much notice throughout the show's run for his portrayal of David Rose, an openly pansexual small business owner forced to deal with his family's fall from grace.

The actor, who co-created the show alongside his father and served as a writer, director and producer, also became notable for writing characters who were comfortable and supportive of his character's sexuality.

The multi-talented performer spoke about the decision to omit homophobia from the series during an interview with GQ, describing it as "a very simple choice that I made."

He then stated that he had "no idea" about the impression that his show would make on LGBTQ+ fans, and claimed that many had reached out to express their gratitude for his work on the program.

Rounding out the Rose family is Annie Murphy, who played superficial daughter Alexis Murphy throughout all of the show's six seasons.

Just before the conclusion of the show, the actress spoke to Variety and recalled that, even though she had plenty of acting experience before joining the project, her nerves kicked in just before shooting its pilot.

The performer recalled that she "forgot that I would have to actually act with these people who I’d idolized for so long."

Just when you thought "Love Island USA" couldn’t get messier -- boom! The girls get whisked away to Casa Amor, while the boys play tonsil hockey with a fresh batch of bombshells!!!

Yup, you heard right -- 5 new hotties snuck into the villa and got to kiss every guy while they were blindfolded. The twist? The boys had no clue who they were making out with … until they took off everything.

As you can guess, the boys were shook -- and that’s when host Ariana Madix dropped the bomb ... the girls are off at Casa Amor, and everyone’s officially single. Time to test new connections … and loyalties.

Martin Kove got the boot from the Washington State fan convention over the weekend after he allegedly assaulted a fellow "Cobra Kai" female cast member ... and police had to get involved.

According to a report from the Puyallup Police Department obtained by TMZ ... Alicia Hannah-Kim accused the "Karate Kid" icon of biting her so hard on her arm, he damn near drew blood ... and then allegedly kissed her arm when she yelled out in pain.

Alicia, who starred alongside Martin in Netflix's "Cobra Kai," told a police officer working the VIP section of the Summer Con event that Martin allegedly completely unprovoked, grabbed her arm and chomped down after she passed by and said hello.

The suspect cops say hit and killed "Million Dollar Beach House" star Sara Burack thought she hit a traffic cone her lawyer reportedly told the court. Saturday

Amanda Kempton -- the woman who was arrested and booked on suspicion of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident -- made her first court appearance in the Hamptons ... and, the New York Post reports her attorney, William Keahon, argued his client thought she hit a cone.

Keahon reportedly said it was foggy, and Kempton didn't see Burack ... adding she only realized she hit a person when she went to a friend's house and found Burack's pink suitcase lodged under her car.

Sara Burack -- a star of Netflix's "Million Dollar Beach House" -- was killed by a hit-and-run driver in the Hamptons ... and the cops are trying to find the person who did it.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Burack was found unconscious on a roadway on Long Island, NY, early Thursday morning. She was rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Police continued a massive search Friday for the driver ... details about the car and the driver have not been released.

Happy Friday, y'all! Can you guess which sexy star put his shirtless bod on display in these eye-popping shots?

The "13 Reasons Why" actor recently posted a carousel of photos including these 3 lucky winners! You may recognize him as Justin Foley, but he was also in "Manhunt" with Anthony Boyle and "The Parenting" with Parker Posey.

"Stranger Things" is gearing up for its final curtain call this year -- and right on cue, the Byers' California family home -- which IRL is in New Mexico -- just disappeared from the market thanks to some new owners.

Real estate sources tell TMZ the final price isn't public, but the place was listed at $675K back in Feb. and we're told it sold Friday for less than asking. Sounds like someone scored a deal ... no Demogorgon included!

It’s unclear if the buyers are die-hard stans of the Netflix show -- but the "California" pad is where the Byers shacked up with Eleven post-Hawkins, Indiana … but like we said, the house is really smack bang in Albuquerque, NM.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford will be just like Jake Paul and Mike Tyson -- at least in one way ... their super fight is going to be streamed on Netflix!!

UFC honcho Dana White -- who is helping promote the fight -- dropped the announcement on his X account on Tuesday ... expressing his excitement to be involved in this event.

"Are you kidding me the first boxing fight I'm going to promote is Canelo vs Crawford," he wrote. "Live on Saturday, September 13, streaming globally on Netflix, two of the GREATEST boxers in the sport will meet in a historic fight from Las Vegas."
