Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 secured seven Emmy nominations, but did not appear 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 kept an eye on her diet while filming.
Emmy analysts see The Pitt, Widow’s Bay and Beef ahead in 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.
