WTF! Is Netflix spoiling the deaths of all the "Stranger Things" characters?

Your Netflix watchlist is overflowing? Don't fret, the streaming service is delighted to assist and is running all the movies and TV shows of 2025, including "Stranger Things"!

Spoilers — fans of movies and shows find few things more irritating. Particularly with social media, there is very little time following the premiere of a new episode until the first images are posted online. Anyone wishing to view something without any background information either has to be quick or search the web with blinders on.

Strictly speaking, though, spoilers usually come from the first few weeks following a release and create a minefield. The show then turns to the following subject, and those who have stayed pristine until then generally remain so, at least in theory.

But anyone planning to watch Netflix's original shows from 2025 over the holidays or even in the new year has misjudged Netflix itself. The streaming service wants to clear your watchlist for 2026 and is therefore spoiling the most important new releases of the past few months.

A few seconds into a video appropriately named "Don't watch this," series like "Squid Game," "Wednesday," "Adolescence," "The Hunting Wives," "Nobody Wants This," and "Cobra Kai" are spoiled. You can't now say Netflix didn't warn you, but even the most dedicated show fan probably learned something in this clip they didn't know before—and perhaps didn't even want to know.

Netflix has, however, kept a tiny treat for the finale of the video…

"They all..." WHAT?!

Following a brief montage of Netflix-2025 film and series characters who perished, the "Stranger Things" actors suddenly appear. The video stops after the phrase "They all...", we still don't know what becomes of Mike, Will, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and the others. The location of this clip in the film—right after the lengthy list of deaths—definitely isn't accidental. An idea?

Netflix would probably not show the deaths of all the "Stranger Things" characters so openly and honestly, especially not just two weeks before the big finale.

One might wonder, though, if the opening sentence "They all..." will turn out to be true and whether the characters will truly all meet the same destiny, whether for better or for worse.
