The Upside Down is back on the calendar, and so is your seasonal emotional chaos. Stranger Thing

Season 5 will begin its final descent this fall, with Netflix releasing four episodes on November 26, followed by three more on Christmas Day, and the grand finale dropping on New Year’s Eve. It is the Hawkins holiday trilogy no one asked for but everyone needs. But as fans impatiently count down the days in calendar squares and microwave popcorn, Netflix has cooked up a distraction worthy of Scoops Ahoy.

To keep minds off Vecna and other unspeakable horrors, Netflix is reviving a hidden comedy gem starring a fan-favorite from the Stranger Things

ensemble, where the favorite delivers punchlines before screams.

Introducing Entitled starring this Stranger Things favorite

The Stranger Things

star at the center of this unexpected comedy revival is Brett Gelman, best known for his role as the conspiracy-loving Murray Bauman in the Netflix phenomenon. This July 15th, he returns to screens in Entitled

, an eight-part limited series premiering on Netflix. Originally created by Matt Morgan, known for Mister Winner

and The Mimic, 

the comedy features Gelman as an awkward American navigating British aristocracy, in what might be described as Downton Abbey on emotional amphetamines.

Filmed in the United Kingdom back in 2022, Entitled was originally planned for Channel 4 and Showtime. For reasons unclear, it never aired as scheduled in 2023, but quietly found a home on Foxtel in Australia. Now, Netflix is giving the series a proper international debut, just in time to distract fans from theorizing how to beat Thessalhydra, the rumored monster in Stranger Things

Season 5.

With a familiar Hawkins face in the lead and desperation setting in during the long wait for the Stranger Things

finale, Entitled

has swiftly piqued the curiosity of fans eager for any worthy distraction.

What to expect from Entitled?

Expect Entitled

to feel like someone dropped a sardonic American into a decaying Jane Austen novel, only with more emotional damage and less embroidery. Brett Gelman stars as Gabe, a bewildered widower who inherits a mansion and, by extension, a family full of posh chaos. As the British relatives circle him like well-dressed vultures, viewers can look forward to biting humor, awkward affections, and at least one hallway argument in soft lighting and hard accents.

Joining Gelman is an ensemble that includes Pippa Bennett-Warner, Brendan Patricks, Donald Sumpter, Charlotte Arrowsmith, and Mark Quartley, each playing characters who likely own more antique secrets than modern appliances. The IMDb score of 5.6 might raise eyebrows, but considering the series has spent more time in TV limbo than on air, audiences can expect an under-the-radar gem that is part social satire, part inheritance Olympics.
