The final season, set to premiere in 2025, will reunite the gang one more time to fight whatever the Upside Down is still harboring, and like all series finales, some characters won’t survive.Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler in theNetflixfantasy juggernaut, has commented on his character’s fate, leaving everyone scratching their heads in confusion.
Per a report byPeople magazine, the actor provided some teasing details aboutStranger ThingsSeason 5. “I just couldn’t believe it at all,” said Wolfhard when describing his last day on set, shooting the last scene in the show that gave him a career. He didn’t share information about what Mike will do in the final episodes, but he did admit feeling “confused and sad”:
“I was so happy with his ending, and I don’t know, I was satisfied, but I was also very confused and sad, but also very happy. I felt like I was in a dream or something. None of it felt real. I don’t know, it felt perfect.”

‘Stranger Things’ proves that the ’80s sound is as powerful today as it was back then.
The final season ofStranger Thingsis likely still being tweaked in post, as production wrapped in December 2024. Wolfhard also shared a few details of how it felt to shoot the last episodes:
“It didn’t really start to go into focus until the next day. It was like an emotional hangover. But it ended really well, and I just have such positive things to say about everyone. The cast all stayed for the last day, we were all there together. It was really great to be around each other.”
Playing Mike inStranger Thingschanged Wolfhard’s life forever. After Season 1, he appeared in the feature Stephen King adaptationsItandIt: Chapter Two, and the young actor also landed a role in the revival of theGhostbustersfranchise. Additionally, 2025 saw the theatrical release ofHell of a Summer,his debut as a feature film director(he co-directed the slasher movie with Billy Bryk). When speaking to People, Wolfhard also appears to be aware that he was a bit precocious in an industry that often “grinds” child stars:
“I don’t think I’d ever go back and do something over, but maybe I would go back to when the show first came out and blew up, and I would directly put myself into therapy. But it was so crazy and overnight, that there was not really any time to think about that.”
