'Stranger Things' Finale: Finn Wolfhard's Mixed Emotions

Finn Wolfhard, who has played Mike Wheeler on Netflix's 'Stranger Things' since age 13, reflects on the show's upcoming conclusion with conflicting emotions. Having grown up on the set, Wolfhard describes the end of the series as both surreal and emotional, likening it to a 'dream' and experiencing an 'emotional hangover' after filming wrapped. The final season, expected to release in late 2025, is touted by creators Ross and Matt Duffer as the most ambitious yet, with over 650 hours of footage shot. Wolfhard, despite the mixed feelings, praises the positive experience with his co-stars, emphasizing the emotional journey shared over nearly a decade. As the series ends, Wolfhard is transitioning into a new phase of his career, exploring music and directing, while reflecting on the impact of growing up in the public eye.
