As a dedicated fan of Stranger Things and someone who’s grown up alongside its characters, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and sadness as we approach the final season. Finn Wolfhard’s decision to take home a piece of the Demogorgon from Dungeons and Dragons and, more importantly, one of the iconic bikes, feels like a natural choice for any fanboy who lived the Stranger Things experience just as much as Mike Wheeler did.
The creators of “Stranger Things” Season 5 are currently busy with production, aiming for a release on television schedules in 2025. As the series comes closer to its conclusion, the cast has begun to ponder the impact it’s had on them and what their careers might look like without it. Some members of the cast are eager to move on from their well-known characters, while others find the ending more bittersweet, such as Finn Wolfhard, who is already making plans to keep a few props as mementos once filming wraps up.
Actors have occasionally been known to take small souvenirs from film sets despite disapproval from production. This practice is not likely to cease, as demonstrated by the cast of “Full House” in the past and more recently, Wolfhard, star of “Stranger Things”, who expressed his desire to keep a memento, particularly since this is the show’s final season. In an interview with People magazine, Wolfhard shared what he hopes to take home as a keepsake from his groundbreaking role on “SNL: 1975”.
Keeping the initial Demogorgon piece from Dungeons and Dragons may seem insignificant, yet it carries a great deal of meaning for me. I believe it would be quite fascinating to preserve it.
If you haven’t recently caught up with all the episodes of Stranger Things, Wolfhard is referring to a game piece from his early scenes on the show. At 13 years old, he sat behind a homemade Dungeon Master screen, leading the game for his friends. However, things took a dark turn when he introduced the notorious DND monster, which ultimately served as the model for the terrifying Upside Down Demogorgon that was stalking the town of Hawkins.
It’s a solid choice that should be easy to sneak out if the It star gets denied the small token by the prop department once filming is finished. In fact, Wolfhard could probably smuggle it out right now, considering that the game piece hasn’t been featured in the show since that first episode. Still, the choice feels a little safe, considering how many amazing props and set design pieces have been used while filming one of the best Netflix shows of all time.
Well, I’ve got some exciting news to share as a gamer! It looks like my hunch about more Stranger Things surprises was right on track. Finn Wolfhard himself has hinted that the Demogorgon figure I’ve been eyeing is merely the start of what he envisions bringing back with him when his journey as Mike Wheeler comes to an end. Can’t wait to see what else this adventure holds!
And then obviously the bikes. The bikes are amazing.
Currently, let’s delve into the topic! While these bikes may not immediately evoke thoughts of “Stranger Things” to someone unfamiliar with the series, they play significant roles that are almost character-like in their own right. They have appeared consistently across all seasons and serve as a primary means of transportation for both the younger and older characters, as demonstrated in Season 4, Part 1.
Due to Wolfhard’s growth since Season 1, it’s possible that he can no longer use the same bike prop as before. This issue has been addressed by the costume department, but keeping it could serve as a keepsake of his time on the popular show. Although he didn’t mention any other items, there are likely many things from the set that he hopes to keep, possibly something exclusive to Season 5.
Although details about Season 5 are scarce, as only behind-the-scenes snaps have been released by the team, this hasn’t deterred enthusiastic fans from speculating on what’s to come. Here’s hoping we won’t have to wait much longer. In fact, there’s a glimmer of anticipation among some fans that this year’s Stranger Things Day might unveil a sneak peek at the final season. Until then, you can enjoy the first four seasons by subscribing to Netflix and starting your stream right away.
