Original ‘Stranger Things’ Star Ending Time With Series – Inside the Magic
There is, perhaps, no show more anticipated right now than Stranger Things Season 5.
If you”ve been keeping up with the latest developments surrounding Stranger Things, you know that the show has faced some challenges, particularly as of late. Though there were hopes that the final season of the show would be ready to stream by late 2024, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes put filming well behind schedule, and now, we could be looking at the show not being ready until late 2025.
Stranger Things is a popular science fiction horror series created by the Duffer Brothers. Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, the show masterfully combines elements of supernatural horror, government conspiracy, and heartfelt coming-of-age narratives. The story kicks off with the disappearance of a young boy named Will Byers, leading his friends and family on a quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding his vanishing. The introduction of a girl with psychokinetic abilities, known only as Eleven, adds an intriguing supernatural dimension to the narrative.
One of the standout features of Stranger Things is its nostalgic homage to the pop culture of the 1980s. The series pays tribute to iconic movies, TV shows, and music of that era, creating a nostalgic experience for viewers who grew up during that time. From Dungeons & Dragons references to nods to classic Spielberg and Stephen King-style storytelling, the show captures the essence of 1980s entertainment while also delivering a fresh and compelling narrative.
The ensemble cast of young actors, including Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and others, received widespread acclaim for their performances. The chemistry among the cast members contributes significantly to the show”s success, making the characters relatable and endearing to audiences. As the series progresses through multiple seasons, it skillfully balances the development of both the characters and the overarching plot, keeping viewers invested in the fates of the residents of Hawkins.
Stranger Things has become a cultural phenomenon, resonating with audiences worldwide. Its blend of supernatural thrills, heartfelt friendships, and nostalgic charm has garnered a dedicated fanbase.
As we look ahead to Stranger Things Season 5, it”s been confirmed that the Duffer Brothers have been staging scenes and working hard to get the show ready for production. Unfortunately, David Harbour confirmed that it will take nearly a year for filming to wrap, meaning that the earliest we could see the show would be in 2025. If the delays weren”t enough, Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) has come under fire as of late for his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hundreds of fans on social media have threatened to boycott Netflix and cancel their subscription if the company doesn”t remove him from the series, but others have said they will cancel their subscriptions if the company succumbs to cancel culture, creating a volatile dynamic for Netflix.
Regardless of these delays and challenges, Stranger Things Season 5 is still happening, and there will be millions of fans who are ready to stream the series once it”s completed.
Recently, ScreenRant gave a look at Nancy Wheeler (played by Natalia Dyer) and the ending for her on the show. While many fans want to see her end up with Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) or her original boyfriend, Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), as she has been involved in a love triangle over the last few seasons, the publication shares the perfect ending for her character in the series doesn”t involve either of them. Just for reference, Nancy was still dating Jonathan at the end of Season 4, but his move to California had placed her spending more time with Steve, who expressed that he still has feelings for her.
The publication shares the opinion that the best way to end her time on the series would be for her to go away to college to focus on her career.
“The best ending would see Nancy going away to college and focusing on her journalism career or becoming a reporter. Although she had a lot of chemistry and good moments with both Jonathan and Steve, high school romances don”t always last. Nancy is young and has a lot more options, including being alone or a tease that she could wind up with some new guy once she”s made some self-discovery,” the report says.
While many fans would disagree with the premise, Natalia Dyer did share in a previous interview that the character needed more time to “discover herself.”
“Whatever happens, I would hope that she does it with integrity,” Dyer said. “I just think she’s stronger now. I think she’s more sure of herself. So whatever she decides to do, she’ll do it for the right reasons.”
As the series comes to an end, it will be interesting to see what direction the Duffer Brothers head with Nancy Wheeler as a character.
