Finn Wolfhard Calls ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 an “intimate season,” Hints at a Full Circle

With Hollywood busy in the holiday spirits in the wake of the pumpkin festival, Halloween costumes are surely keeping the fans glued to their phone screens. But with the horror chants roaring a little more intense everywhere, the whereabouts of Netflix’s fan-favorite Upside Down adventures have also been making fans a little restless. With Stranger Things’ last lap right around the corner and subscribers missing the Stranger catalog to fill in the spooky shoes, Finn Wolfhard has brought an eerie update to compensate for the absence with a season 5 teaser.

While fans expected season 5 to brandish the big guns to save Hawkins and vanquish Vecna, Wolfhard’s revelation brings a curveball anticipated by none.

Finn Wolfhard brings the strangest detail so far for Stranger Things season 5

In a recent interview with US Weekly, Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard opened up about his career in the horror genre, including the highly anticipated last installment of Upside Down. Talking about his experience, filming the show that has been on for a decade, Wolfhard explained how he has been trying super hard to be “present with the character.” Although he remained tight-lipped on most specifics, he did tease that the forthcoming will be a “really intimate season,” despite the abundance of action.

Wolfhard continued that, at the same time, Stranger Things 5 will also be a “huge season,” drawing a hint over his co-stars and creators’ revelations of bringing the story to a full circle. While the actor did not exactly divulge in which context he referred to intimacy’s presence in the storyline, Wolfhard confessed he has been really deliberate coming to the set since he wants to soak up all the memories and live the ongoing ones as long as it lasts.

Wolfhard’s intriguing detail might already have people wondering about the what-ifs, but he also shared another curious fact: what keeps him coming back to the horror genre over and over.

In his latest conversation with US Weekly, Finn Wolfhard outlined his attraction to the horror genre with and without Stranger Things, having been a mainstay in that realm from the get-go. It turns out that the actor has mastered mind-mapping the audience’s perspective and believes his admiration for the genre stems primarily from the fact that he loves it as “a viewer.” 

“The way I feel after watching a good horror movie is different from the way I feel after watching a really good drama or anything else,” Wolfhard made it crystal clear. Although he lamented not having had the opportunity to witness anything spooky in real life, with the Stranger Things update, he may have left a haunting effect on fans who will now try to get to the roots of all his spooky Easter eggs.
