Netflix’s cultural phenomenon Stranger Things concluded its nine-year journey on January 1, 2026, with a two-hour finale that sparked emotional reactions worldwide, crashed streaming servers, and cemented the show’s legacy as one of television’s most iconic series.
MTV will close its remaining music-focused channels worldwide by December 2025, marking the most significant retreat in the network’s four-decade history. The shutdown affects channels across Europe, the UK, Australia, and Brazil, as Paramount shifts MTV toward streaming-first entertainment and digital formats.
