Stranger Things has held a special place in the hearts of many viewers ever since it hit the Netflix screens in 2016. The last season put the sci-fi franchise in the elite company by making it surpass the 5 billion weekly viewing minute mark. While the show managed to maintain a controversy-free record, it is now apparent that the tide is turning after Noah Schnapp stirred the pot with his stance and actions on divisive issues. 

Amidst the heavy backlash and demands to cancel the star, some rumors emerged suggesting Noah Schnapp’s hospitalization following an injury to his head. However, new updates have come to light to shed light on the veracity of these rumors.

The truth behind Noah Schnapp injury

The Lyric Vault, a page on X (formerly Twitter), posted an announcement. It claimed that Noah Schnapp was in hospital on December 24th after falling off a bike rack and landing on his neck. However, in reality, this turned out to be a fictitious rumor that resulted in an even more bizarre reaction from fans. Fans, already upset by Noah Schnapp’s recent political views, expressed more concerns about the bike and floor than Schnapp in the comments. 

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the filming for Stranger Things is gearing up as the new year starts, where Noah Schnapp will reportedly take center stage in the show’s final chapter. However, given the significant backlash against the actor, there is uncertainty about whether the negativity will tarnish the show’s brilliance or if the final season will emerge as an even bigger record-breaker.

Shortly after the filming update of Stranger Things season 5, Netflix humorously capitalized on the excitement of Stranger Things Day to promote an upcoming holiday film. 

Netflix made a hilarious comparison between Stranger Things and an upcoming movie

Netflix’s official account on X, formerly Twitter, posted a new update featuring two images: one of the Creel House from Stranger Things and the other from the upcoming film Best Christmas, Ever! The streaming giant humorously juxtaposed the two houses, teasing how they look in October versus the transformation during the November festival season. During October, a Halloween ambiance takes hold, with individuals adorning their homes in the spookiest manner imaginable.

Meanwhile, with the onset of November, a festive shift takes place as people prepare for Christmas, decking out their spaces with garlands, ornamented trees, and string lights. This was perfectly showcased in the post that came just days after Netflix celebrated Stranger Things Day, the day when Will Byers, played by Noah Schnapp, went missing. As the final season draws near, fans can look forward to discovering how the series wraps up the tale with the character who started it all-Scnapp’s Will Byers.
