Netflix's "Stranger Things" Season 5 is facing a potential boycott as production kicks off, stirring controversy and discontent among fans.

The eagerly-awaited series, known for its cliffhangers, left fans in suspense after the last season. On January 8, 2024, the official Instagram account of "Stranger Things" posted a picture of the original cast, announcing that production had officially begun.

While this news excited many fans, it also triggered a wave of dissatisfaction, leading to an unexpected twist in the storyline. Netizens on X (formerly Twitter) expressed their discontent with the decision to retain Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) in the cast.

One user voiced their disappointment, stating, "They have taken NO action against him. I'm appalled. Completely and utterly appalled. I will not be watching season 5, and I urge everyone else to do the same."

Other users reminded everyone about the controversy and called for a boycott of "Stranger Things." Comments like, "The very least we can do is totally boycott the upcoming season of Stranger Things on Netflix," and numerous instances of "BOYCOTT STRANGER THINGS!" flooded social media.

The debate surrounding the show intensified after a controversial video surfaced, showing Noah Schnapp laughing with friends while holding Zionist stickers.

As of now, the "Stranger Things" team has not released an official statement addressing the issue, leaving fans and netizens in anticipation of further developments.
