Stranger Things
Jamie Campbell Bower, who played villain Henry Creel/Vecna in the fourth season of Netflix’s smash hit supernatural series “Stranger Things,” says the currently in production fifth and final season goes even further than before.
Appearing on iHeart’s I’ve Never Said This Before (via THR), the actor says: “If you thought last season was nuts, this season is just out of control, wild, like it’s bonkers. It really, really is. It’s bigger. It’s just completely insane. It’s completely insane… just continually building.”
