Sci Fi TV News of Note:
Doctor Who had its season finale Saturday night and changes are coming to the show. (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Ncuti Gatwa is apparently leaving the series after two seasons as his Doctor went through a regeneration and emerged as a familiar face. I won’t spoil that part, but you can read further at BBC.com (warning, the title to the article has a spoiler). Note that the show has not been officially renewed beyond the current season yet.
In scheduling news, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things has received a premiere date of November 22nd.

Sci Fi TV Trailers:
Stranger Things (Netflix): 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. Volume 1 premieres Nov 26 at 8 PM EST, Volume 2 premieres Dec 25th at 8 PM EST, the Finale premieres Dec 31st at 8 PM EST.
