The global promo tour for Stranger Things is in full swing, with premieres taking place in major cities as the series approaches its long-awaited finale. For co-creators and brothers Ross and Matt Duffer, the end of a decade-long creative journey is finally in sight. Ahead of the release of Season 5 Volume 1 on Netflix on November 26 (November 27 in India), the duo reflected on which character they relate to the most and would love to say goodbye to.
Stranger Things creators talk about the characters’ future
Speaking with GQ Thailand, the Duffer Brothers were asked which Stranger Things character they would like to say goodbye to. Ross responded, “It’s hard. It’s like picking a favorite, we like them all. If I had to pick one, it would be Mike, because when we wrote the show, Mike became the stand-in for Matt and my version at that age. I don’t know what we would say to him, but I would thank him. He allowed us to relive our childhood in a way. I miss that time so much, and this show gives us a chance to go back to that and play. We are truly grateful for the whole decade.”
Matt echoed this sentiment: “Yeah, it has to be Mike. The first lines we wrote, the first character we created, was Mike. As Ross said, he’s our stand-in, so he’s the one I would say goodbye to.”
Mike Wheeler, played by Finn Wolfhard, serves as the unofficial leader of The Party in the series. He is the one who discovers Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and activates the group when her best friend Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) goes missing in the Upside Down.
