During the January 17th episode, Saturday Night Live aired a funny sketch poking fun at Netflix’s plans to continue the Stranger Things universe even after the main story ended. The sketch showed fake spin-offs, and one of the highlights was a parody called Mike in Manhattan, which was styled after Sex and the City. It followed an adult Mike Wheeler (played by Finn Wolfhard) as he tried to become a writer in New York City. Original cast members Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Caleb (Caleb McLaughlin) appeared in a brunch scene to talk about their lives and relationships. The sketch jokingly explained that Noah Schnapp (who plays Will) wasn’t present because his character would still be going through a long, drawn-out coming-out storyline in the fifth season of Stranger Things.
