Stranger Things’ Joe Keery Opens Up About Wrapping The Final Season, And My Heart Is So Full

by

Among the numerous shows concluding and being canceled in 2025, it’s going to be hard to bid farewell to the beloved series Stranger Things. Although we’ve known for nearly three years that the popular Netflix show would end with Season 5, it still feels unreal to accept that it will come to an end during the 2025 TV lineup. Now that production has wrapped up, cast member Joe Keery is joining his fellow actors in reflecting on the last day of filming, and I must admit, I’m reaching for the tissues.

What Joe Keery Said About Wrapping Stranger Things’ Final Season

Joe Keery recently graced “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” for a chat. During the show, he talked about his latest album titled “The Crux” and shared some insights regarding the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things.” As of now, only a few details have been disclosed about the upcoming episodes, such as their titles. Keery avoided revealing any spoilers but did give a glimpse into his last day on set and his overall experience while working on the series, which has left Netflix enthusiasts like me feeling excitedly nostalgic.

What an incredible journey it’s been! We filmed for approximately a year, all while I continued to create my music. The sheer length of time dedicated to this project – a third of my lifetime, if you will – added to the emotional intensity as the days turned into months. On that final day of shooting, it felt like all the emotions culminated. It was as if everything had been building up to that moment. I stayed behind and watched the other cast members complete their work. It was a mix of powerful emotions and a profound sense of camaraderie, knowing these individuals will forever hold a special place in my heart – truly, they’ve become an extended family for me.

The fifth season of “Stranger Things” has been in production for a full year, and it’s clear that the cast and crew have been mentally preparing themselves throughout this time. Since they’ve been working together as a team for ten years, it’s no surprise that their final days on set will be emotional. As a fan, I can’t help but feel the weight of the show’s impending end become more palpable with each passing day. It’s a bittersweet realization, but I find comfort in knowing that Joe Keery and his fellow cast members are looking back fondly on their shared experiences.

What Have Other Stranger Things Cast Members Said About Wrapping?

Following the conclusion of Season 5, various actors from “Stranger Things” paid tribute to the show on their social media platforms. Among them was Millie Bobby Brown, who posted a collection of images spanning her time with one of Netflix’s top-rated series. Similarly, Sadie Sink shared behind-the-scenes photos and a heartfelt message honoring her role as Max. Lastly, Noah Schnapp penned an emotional message and published pictures to express his sentiments.

Finn Wolfhard likened his last day on set to the emotional moment at the end of “Toy Story 3,” when a toy is left behind. He referred to it as saying goodbye to old friends, and this analogy highlights the length of time the show has been running. The supernatural sci-fi horror series created by the Duffer Brothers, which debuted in 2016 with filming beginning in 2015, has undeniably played a significant role in the cast’s lives, as Joe Keery pointed out. It will certainly feel strange when they are no longer working together. However, I find solace in the idea that they will forever be “bound by friendship.

The release date for “Stranger Things 5” hasn’t been announced as part of Netflix’s 2025 schedule, so keep your subscription active on that platform to catch it when it arrives. Make sure you watch the first four seasons in advance to prepare yourself.
