'All great things come to an end'

The Stranger Things cast, including Finn Wolfhard and Joe Keery join the Duffer brothers to share what the Netflix show's ending means to them

- 

When the supernatural comingof-age drama Stranger Things premiered in 2016, it quickly became one of Netflix's most popular series, gaining millions of fans.

Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, also known as the Duffer Brothers, the show was conceived as a love letter to classic 1980s genre films and is set in the seemingly ordinary Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana.

The first season follows a psychokinetic girl named Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, who escapes from a secret laboratory in Hawkins and befriends a group of young boys: Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair, played by Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin.

Together, they embark on a mission to find their missing friend Will Byers, portrayed by Noah Schnapp, after he vanishes into an alternate reality.

Almost a decade later, the show's fifth and final season is upon us, and the friendship group reunite again to confront the evil villain Vecna, played by Jamie Campbell Bower, one last time.

As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle looms and with it, a darkness more powerful and deadly than anything they have faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone: the full party, standing together, one last time.

Wolfhard, Matarazzo, and McLaughlin, who were all just kids when the series began, reflect on the impact the show has had on their lives and what it means to say goodbye to their characters.
