Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 received seven Emmy nominations, but was left out from the Best Drama Series category ever in its run. The nominations feature work by Wētā FX, which earned 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 front‑running the awards race. The three programmes have collected about 60 nominations together, putting them well ahead of the sci‑fi series. The show has turned into a cultural phenomenon since its debut. Fans stay hopeful that the series will regain a drama slot next year.
