Ironheart
After countless delays, Ironheart will finally get her chance to fly on Disney+ this summer as Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams makes her long-anticipated debut in her new self-titled Disney+ original series!
Following a breakout performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Thorne returns as Ironheart but don’t expect our hero to be flying high as the show begins. After the events of Wakanda Forever, Riri is simply trying to keep her head above water as she attempts to break out of her rut after being expelled from MIT. This has set her on a course that leads her path to cross with Anothony Ramos’ Parker Robbins aka The Hood, leading to a fun showdown between technology and magic.
The six-episode series not only welcomes Riri back into the mix but will also serve as the closing chapter of Phase Five of the MCU. Exactly what could that mean for the larger implications the show might have on the MCU’s sixth phase? Fans are going to have to tune in to see!
Ironheart premieres June 24 on Disney+.
Stranger Things
Of course, how can you celebrate the best shows coming in 2025 and not talk about Stranger Things?! I mean, it would be simply criminal as the final season of Netflix’s award-winning drama is sure to be the biggest TV event of the entire year!
After what has been a near-flawless journey, Stranger Things will sign off the airwaves for good in 2025 with what is sure to be the show’s biggest season in every sense of the word. The final season has taken years to put together and the hard work from the cast and creative team will finally be released into the world this year as we get to witness the closing journey of a show that changed the television landscape forever.
Little is known about the final season by design, but what we do know is that Eleven and the citizens of Hawkins are in for their toughest battle yet as they battle against Vecna, attempting to permanently close the gateway to the Upside Down. The episodes are set to be movie-quality which likely means we’re in store for some lengthy episodes, but we will happily welcome extended episodes of the show which we’re still not quite prepared to say goodbye to.
The expectations are incredibly high and fans are eager to see if the show can stick the landing, breaking a streak many hit shows have struggled with over the years in crafting a final season that delivers proper closure to the show and the story arcs of its many beloved characters.
Will the Duffer Brothers pull off one of the greatest final seasons we’ve ever seen? We’ll finally find out when Stranger Things season 5 hits Netflix later this year!
Stranger Things season 5 is coming to Netflix sometime in 2025.
