Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard “in Shock” After Filming End of Series

As a devoted fan of Stranger Things since its inception, I must say that watching this series has been nothing short of an extraordinary journey. The show has managed to seamlessly blend elements of science fiction, horror, and coming-of-age drama into a captivating narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

It’s the end of an era for Finn Wolfhard.

The actor who plays a key role in Stranger Things wrote an emotional farewell to the much-admired Netflix program following the completion of filming for its final season, scheduled to premiere in 2025.

He recently posted on Instagram that they’ve completed filming “Stranger Things” Season 5, which left him in a state of disbelief. For the past year, they were engrossed in shooting it, and he’s going to miss his co-stars and their characters dearly.

Accompanying the message he shared, a 21-year-old fan uploaded a photo of himself with several cast members – Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, and Millie Bobby Brown – from the early days of the sci-fi series. This throwback picture was followed by two behind-the-scenes shots from season five, showcasing the remarkable growth of the young cast since the series premiered in 2016.

As I reflect on the show, it brings to mind the initial image for me,” Finn added. “A group of awkwardly charming youngsters creating something they believe is trendy, but in reality, are clueless about the future. It feels like we’re those same individuals, and I consider myself fortunate to be with them today.

He ended the note by teasing the final episodes, writing, “I hope you’ll love this season as much as I do. See you all next year.”

Back when Netflix tantalizingly hinted at the endgame of this beloved series in November, they dropped a teaser trailer filled with all eight upcoming episode titles. Yet, here I am, on the edge of my seat, eager for the next chapter, and what do I find but a mind-boggling enigma in the form of the second season’s episode “The Vanishing of [Character’s Name],” with the very name of the character involved shrouded in mystery.

For the remaining episodes, their titles are: “The Creep,” “The Turnabout Trap,” “The Sorcerer,” “Radio Mayhem,” “Escaping Camazotz,” “The Spanning” and “The Correct Side Up.

As you anticipate the arrival of the fifth season of “Stranger Things”, delve into what we currently know about the concluding part of this epic tale by continuing to read below.

Although Max’s situation remains uncertain, Matt and Ross Duffer confirmed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that Dr. Brenner (played by Matthew Modine) has met his end permanently. In their words, “He’s done for.

Just as with Eddie (Joseph Quinn), who bravely gave himself to the Demobats to allow the other children to keep fighting, there’s a possibility he might reappear on the show. Joseph shared his thoughts with TopMob News, expressing his enthusiasm for the role by saying, “I certainly wouldn’t mind returning. We’ll have to wait and see.

Regarding Max (Sadie Sink), her brothers remain hopeful and refuse to give up on her recovery. They confirmed that while she is technically brain dead, she still shows signs of life. However, she has lost her sight and sustained multiple fractures in her bones.

In an interview with Deadline, Sadie expressed uncertainty about Max’s future, saying “It’s hard to predict what will happen next.” The character of Max is currently in a coma, and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) hasn’t been able to locate her in the void, making her current condition and whereabouts unknown.

Natalia Dyer, the actress who plays Nancy, is finding it difficult to decide who her character should be with. On one side, she believes Nancy could suit either Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) or Steve (Joe Keery), but she also feels that Nancy might need some personal growth and exploration apart from both of them. As she put it to Variety, “It’s really tough… I don’t know. It seems like she’s been in a relationship for a while now, so maybe she needs some time for self-discovery.

She added, “Regardless of what transpires, I’d prefer if she conducts herself with honesty. Frankly, I found it unsettling that the situation involving Jonathan seemed to unfold without Steve’s knowledge. Honestly, it leaves me shocked. Yet, in a way, it doesn’t.

In the final episode of the season, I, Noah Schnapp, made it clear that my character, Will, remains tied to Vecna following our connection in season two. When queried about potential interactions between our characters in season five, Jamie Campbell Bower hinted to TopMob News, “Well, it’s no secret that Vecna and I share a past. So, if the opportunity arises for me to dive back into that, I’d be more than happy to do so.

Initially intending to begin a new life in California, Joyce (Winona Ryder), Will (Noah Schnapp), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) feel a longing for Hawkins and their old friends. As such, the Byers family is planning to depart from their California residence and return to Indiana in season five, accompanied by Hopper and Eleven.

Matt Duffer shared with Collider that the main focus of season five will be in Hawkins and the Upside Down, but it’s also about everyone reuniting. They are bringing everyone back to Hawkins.

The creators known as the Duffer Brothers have primarily mapped out season five, the concluding chapter, yet it remains uncertain when production will start.

Speaking with Deadline, Sadie Sink mentioned that the fourth season spanned over two years, so it’s uncertain how long season five will take. However, she suggested that the Duffers aren’t going to rush the production. Instead, they aim to create the finest final season they can possibly produce, given the enthusiastic anticipation from fans.

It appears that the Duffer Brothers are reducing the number of scenes for the final season, but they’re not hurrying through the process. They have indicated that the remaining episodes will be somewhat shorter, with the finale expected to be a full-length movie-style episode.

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but echo the words of Matt Duffer when he mentioned on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that the reason we might not see as much depth in season 5 is because it takes about two hours for our beloved characters to fully immerse themselves into a supernatural mystery. We’ll get to know them, witness their lives unfold, and watch them grapple with adapting to high school, all while Steve searches for the perfect date. However, we can expect a different pace in season 5 as these elements won’t be part of the narrative.

On January 8th, Netflix announced that filming for the fifth and last season of Stranger Things has begun, as they posted a heartwarming picture of the Hawkins gang together.

The streaming service shared on social media, “This signals Code Red!”, which means that the filming for Stranger Things 5 has commenced!!!

During a one-on-one chat with TopMob News, Shawn Levy, a key producer of Stranger Things, assured fans that season five will provide answers to all lingering questions. He emphasized, “our goal is to keep our audience contented.

On November 6th, affectionately referred to as ‘Stranger Things Day’, Netflix announced that the opening episode of the last season will be named “Chapter One: The Creep”.

It seems that Will Byers could play a crucial role in how “Stranger Things” concludes on Netflix. In an interview with Forbes, actor Noah Schnapp hinted about the final season, stating, “I believe they did an excellent job developing Will’s character this season, and addressed all necessary points elegantly. The way they wrapped up the show is perfect—the story began with Will, and it will end with him as well.

Maya Hawke recently revealed the upcoming series is “basically eight movies.”

As she explained on Penn Badgley’s Podcrushed in June 2024, “The episodes are very long.”
