Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard has shared details about the cast’s “unbelievably emotional” first read-through of the series finale. He vividly described the experience of reading the concluding episode together as a group. The highly anticipated Stranger Things season 5 is set to mark the conclusion of Netflix’s beloved sci-fi horror series, where the central characters unite once more to confront Vecna (played by Jamie Campbell Bower) in what promises to be an epic showdown. The stakes are even higher as the town of Hawkins faces the merging of the Upside Down with reality, creating a thrilling backdrop for the final season, which will consist of eight episodes slated for release in 2025.

During an interview with Collider, Wolfhard elaborated on the emotional impact of the first table read for Stranger Things‘ final episode. He emphasized how “unbelievably emotional” it was for the entire cast, as they approached the reading without prior knowledge of the script. This raw, unfiltered experience resulted in heightened emotions, making it a deeply moving moment. As he expressed his feelings, he also conveyed his “happy and excited” anticipation for the show’s conclusion, suggesting that fans can expect a satisfying wrap-up of the series. Below is an excerpt of Wolfhard?s thoughts:

I read it with the cast and it was unbelievably emotional. We cold read it. We?d never read it before, so this was the first time we were all reading everything, and so it?s very overwhelming and really special. It was definitely one of those things that was much more emotional than I thought it was going to be. But I?m really happy about it and excited for it to come out.

Stay tuned for more updates…
