Finn Wolfhard On Stranger Things Season 5: ‘We Are All Together Again'
Last Updated: Finn Wolfhard expressed his happiness at having the full cast together in the final season of Stranger Things. As Netflix's popular series Stranger Things gears up to drop its final season later this year, fans are eagerly looking forward to one last ride filled with supernatural thrills and a whirlwind of emotions. Although an official release date is yet to be announced, the fifth season is expected to arrive in two parts, with the first likely premiering at the end of this year, and the second sometime in early 2026. Amid fan speculation and growing excitement around the upcoming season of the sci-fi horror drama, Finn Wolfhard, who has portrayed Mike Wheeler since the very beginning, shared his thoughts on the series' journey from its 2016 debut to the much-anticipated finale. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Wolfhard said, 'This last season is sort of a crossroads, and so we're getting back into a lot of the dynamics of season one, which is really fun." Reflecting on his character, he added, 'There are some 'leader Mike' moments, and it's a very grand season, obviously. Every season has gotten bigger and bigger, and this one is huge, but it's also kind of isolated as well." Wolfhard, 21, expressed his happiness at having the full cast together again, after being separated across three different storylines in the previous season. He even admitted to feeling a bit envious of the Hawkins storyline, which followed Dustin, Lucas, Erica, Max, Steve, Eddie, Nancy, and Robin as they investigated a series of murders that eventually led them to the Vecna. Originally set to release in 2023, Stranger Things Season 5 was delayed due to the Hollywood strike. When asked by The Hollywood Reporter if he found the wait frustrating, Wolfhard said, 'I'm definitely not frustrated. It is what it is. You spend so much time on a show that it's all-encompassing, and it's something that means so much to me. It's the thing that made my career, and it really shaped my life. So as far as the show not coming out yet, the only frustrating part is wanting to see it and having to wait. I just want people to see it, and I want to be able to see it. But the rest of it? No. I'm indebted to Stranger Things, and it'll take however long it's going to take. There's no way to control that, so you might as well just ride it." Stranger Things was first introduced to audiences in 2016. Set in the 1980s, the story follows a group of children and adults in the town of Hawkins, Indiana as they uncover a series of mysterious events tied to supernatural powers and secret government experiments, most notably, the discovery of an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down. Season 5 will see the return of the regular ensemble cast, including Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Noah Schnapp (Will), and Sadie Sink (Max). Familiar faces such as Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Brett Gelman (Murray Bauman), and Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) will reprise their roles as well. The Duffer Brothers have promised that Season 5 will serve as a 'love letter" to the audience. First Published:

Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard debuts dramatic transformation... see what he looks like now
Finn Wolfhard debuted a dramatic hair transformation while attending the ninth annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards, which was held at Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa in Tokyo, Japan on Sunday. The 22-year-old former child star paired his freshly-shaved buzzcut with a black deconstructed suit, white button-up shirt, and boots selected by stylist Warren Alfie Baker. Finn does not have any upcoming TV/film projects on the horizon, so perhaps he was simply following in the footsteps of Brad Pitt who unveiled his own buzzcut in LA last Thursday. Wolfhard was last pictured with his signature, seventies-style shag while attending a baseball game at Toronto's Rogers Centre in his native Canada on May 3. The Objection rocker was joined on the orange carpet by his Stranger Things co-star Gaten Matarazzo, and the pair later presented the best continuing series trophy to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop Haruo Sotozaki's Adult Swim series also won the award for best animation at the fan-voted ceremony. The 22-year-old Lego Star Wars actor was wearing a black blazer over a grey button-up shirt, black pleated shorts, and matching loafers selected by stylist Meg Galvin. On December 20, the SAG Award-winning pair wrapped their respective roles as D&D enthusiasts Dustin Henderson and Mike Wheeler in the eight-episode fifth (and final) season of their 1987-set Netflix show. 'It deepened all of our relationships, going through the ending of the show — and then being able to come out the other side and still be friends,' Finn explained in his Cosmpolitan cover story this month. 'It feels all the more important. There used to be this expectation from all of us that if we didn't talk to each other between seasons, it didn't really matter. 'It's kind of like school in that way where it's just like, "I'll see you when I see you." Then last year, we were like, "Oh, this is it. We're not going to just see each other just because."' Wolfhard - who was 12 when he was cast in 2015 - marveled: 'We were like, "Dude, can you believe that one day when the show comes out, the last season, we're all going to be able to drink together at the bar?"' The critically-acclaimed binge-watching favorite will feature Terminator alum Linda Hamilton guest-starring as a mystery military character in Stranger Things' final chapter. At the end of season four, the Hawkins group watched aghast as 'destroyed' Vecna opened the gates between the real world and the Upside Down causing what local officials labeled 'an earthquake.' Finn does not have any upcoming TV/film projects on the horizon, so perhaps he was simply following in the footsteps of Brad Pitt who unveiled his own buzzcut in LA last Thursday Wolfhard was last pictured with his signature, seventies-style shag while attending a baseball game at Toronto's Rogers Centre in his native Canada on May 3 On December 20, the SAG Award-winning pair wrapped their respective roles as D&D enthusiasts Dustin Henderson (2-R) and Mike Wheeler (R) in the eight-episode fifth (and final) season of their 1987-set Netflix show 'I'll always be recognized as the guy from the show, and that is fine,' the Legend of Ochi actor admitted. 'In a lot of ways, obviously, I want to move on. That's why I'm doing all this stuff and I'm directing. I obviously have aspirations outside of the show that I really want to do. And for me, it's more about the connections with people, less about the show.' Finn - who averages 237K monthly listeners on Spotify - is scheduled to kick off his seven-date The Objection! Tour on June 5 at the Lodge Room in LA. Wolfhard - who still lives with his parents in Vancouver - sings and play the guitar, piano, drums, bass, and harmonica Gaten will also voice Lucky in Andy Serkis' upcoming animated remake of Animal Farm alongside Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Jim Parsons, Steve Buscemi, Kathleen Turner, and Laverne Cox.
