Pop culture is a never-ending world of updates, teases, trailers, and hopefully releases. What’s New Wednesday is Dorkaholics’ way to keep us all up to date with what’s new across comics, TV, film, games, and more! This week, the focus is on “Stranger Things”, “His & Hers”, “The Moment”, and “Wuthering Heights”.
- “Stranger Things” 5 Volume 2 – Trailer
The second part of “Stranger Things” season 5 highlights the low points from of Volume 1, but sets up Volume 2 to be the crew’s second chance at taking on Vecna with a better understanding of things, as well as Will’s new powers, and the group’s focus on functioning as an actual team to succeed.
Release Date: Part 2 premieres on Netflix on December 25, 2025 at 5 PM PST
Synopsis: The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
- “His & Hers” – Trailer
Valkyrie and The Punisher married?! Tessa Thompson plays a journalist married to a detective played by Jon Bernthal and the two characters are investigating the same mysterious murder. What I love about this trailer is that I honestly have no idea how this murder mystery will play out.
Release Date: On Netflix on January 8, 2026
Synopsis: Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: HIS & HERS, which means someone is always lying.
- The Moment – Teaser
I feel like an EPILEPSY WARNING is necessary for the trailer for “The Moment”. From the trailer, it’s clear that the film will contain comedic elements of a mockumentary with actors like Alexander Skarsgård playing a character, but one is left wondering how much authenticity or truth Charli XCX will be bringing to her character based on herself and what serious takeaways or messages will be part of this film. Perhaps it might just end up being in the vein of autofiction as “Serious People” considered itself to be.
Release Date: In theaters on January 30, 2026
Synopsis: A rising pop star navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.
- Wuthering Heights – Trailer

The film also brings Fennell and Margot Robbie back together as the former played Midge in 2023’s “Barbie” which starred the latter.
