Stranger Things Star on Why Season 5 Won’t End up Like Game of Thrones

With the release of *Stranger Things* Season 5 approaching, fans are both excited and worried about how the series will end. However, Finn Wolfhard has reassured viewers that the finale won’t be as controversial or disappointing as the ending of *Game of Thrones*.

Finn Wolfhard promises Stranger Things Season 5 to be special

Finn Wolfhard, known for his role in Stranger Things, revealed that the cast was anxious about how the show’s final season would be received by fans. He told Time that everyone was concerned about a negative reaction similar to the one the final season of Game of Thrones received. However, after reading the scripts for Stranger Things Season 5, they were confident it would be different and that they had something truly special.

Wolfhard’s assuredness comes from the careful planning that went into the popular Netflix series. The creators, brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, have apparently been developing the finale for years. They originally came up with the idea for Stranger Things in 2013 and always had a specific ending in mind for the town of Hawkins, Indiana – they just needed to build the story to reach that point.

For years, the heroes have fought monsters in secret places like labs, old malls, and even Soviet prisons. Now, in Season 5, the terror will finally break loose and directly impact the town of Hawkins.

Many fantasy series stumble towards the end, but the creators of Stranger Things, the Duffer brothers, always had a clear plan. They initially envisioned the show as a short, self-contained story. However, when Netflix recognized its potential for a larger franchise, the Duffers broadened the scope while still maintaining a consistent storyline.

What really sets ‘Stranger Things’ apart from shows like ‘Game of Thrones’ is its careful planning. Unlike ‘Game of Thrones,’ which quickly moved beyond the original books, the creators of ‘Stranger Things’ have complete control over the story and a planned ending that will resolve all plotlines. Season 5 takes place in the fall of 1987 and will see the Hawkins group face their biggest and scariest challenge yet – a final battle with Vecna.
