The highly anticipated fifth and final season of Stranger Things has finally arrived, and the Duffer Brothers are breathing a sigh of relief. Matt Duffer, one half of the creative duo, admits that wrapping up the beloved Netflix series was a daunting task. 'It was a little stressful,' he confesses, 'but we had a clear vision for the final scene, which gave us a North Star to guide us.' The brothers had always known the direction they wanted to take the show, and with the knowledge that this would be the last season, they made sure to tie up loose ends and resolve character arcs. 'There was no next season, so we had to get everything in this one,' Ross Duffer explains. 'It was a challenge, but we're feeling pretty good about it.' In a surprising revelation, Matt Duffer shares that the character of Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery, was initially designed to be a one-season wonder. 'We wanted to kill him off at the end of season one,' he reveals, 'but Joe's charm won us over, and we decided to give him a bigger role.' The brothers credit Keery's talent for making the character more likable, which ultimately led to Steve becoming one of the show's most beloved characters. The Duffer Brothers also talk about the responsibility that comes with launching the careers of child actors, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin. 'We've seen horror stories about child actors transitioning into adulthood,' Matt says, 'so we've been protective of them and concerned, but it's been an incredible journey to see them grow into amazing adults.' The brothers credit the tight-knit group of child actors for supporting each other through the ups and downs of fame. As the final season of Stranger Things comes to a close, fans can expect a satisfying conclusion to the series. The Duffer Brothers have worked tirelessly to bring the story to a close, and their dedication has paid off. 'We're very happy with it, the actors are happy, and hopefully, the audience will be too,' Matt says. The final season of Stranger Things is set to air on New Year's Eve, and fans are eagerly awaiting the conclusion of this beloved series.
