Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 earned seven Emmy nominations, but was omitted from the Best Drama Series category ever in its run. The nominations feature work by Wētā FX, which received a further nod for visual effects. Cast member Millie Bobby Brown said that co‑stars watched her diet while filming.
Emmy analysts consider The Pitt, Widow’s Bay and Beef leading the awards race. The three programmes have collected about 60 nominations together, putting them significantly 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.
