In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Wolfhard revealed that season 5 is shaping up to be an absolute rollercoaster ride. With the cast reunited and the stakes higher than ever, fans can expect an explosive season packed with jaw-dropping twists and turns. But that’s not all – Wolfhard teased that the upcoming season will harken back to the show’s roots, with a return to the beloved dynamics of season one.
“It’s sort of a crossroads,” Wolfhard shared, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “We’re getting back into a lot of the dynamics of season one, which is really fun. There are some ‘leader Mike’ moments, and it’s a very grand season, obviously. Every season has gotten bigger and bigger, and this season is huge, but it’s also kind of isolated as well.”

Wolfhard dropped hints about some major character developments in season 5, promising that fans will be on the edge of their seats as they watch their favorite characters navigate new challenges and obstacles. And with the fate of Hawkins hanging in the balance, the stakes have never been higher for Mike and his friends.
Of course, no discussion of Stranger Things would be complete without addressing the elephant in the room – the delays in production due to the recent Hollywood strikes. But fear not, dear fans, for Wolfhard assured us that the wait will be well worth it.

“I’m definitely not frustrated,” he declared. “You spend so much time on a show that it’s all-encompassing, and it’s something that means so much to me. So as far as the show not coming out yet, the only frustrating part is wanting to see it and having to wait. I just want people to see it and I want to be able to see it.”
In addition to his work on Stranger Things, Wolfhard has been keeping busy with other exciting projects, including his role in the upcoming Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. But despite his hectic schedule, Wolfhard remains grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an iconic series.
“It’s the thing that made my career, and it really shaped my life,” he reflected. “So as far as the show not coming out yet, the only frustrating part is wanting to see it and having to wait. I just want people to see it and I want to be able to see it.”
