Little by little, more news about the fifth and final season of Stranger Things continues to be known. Netflix has known how to play its cards perfectly, maintaining the audience’s interest with small doses of information about what will be the closure of this story. The most recent teaser has to do with the appearance of one of its main characters.
Through the official Stranger Things account on X, an image has been shared that has surprised because it shows Will Byers’ makeover, replacing his iconic bowl style with something more modern. In addition, it has also coincided with the character’s birthday – in the series no one remembers this important day -.
Ross Duffer, one of the creators of the series, was the first to offer this first look at what Noah Schnapp, the actor who plays the young man, will look like in the final season. This strategy, without a doubt, has created a lot of expectation. “Happy birthday Will, we got you this new haircut,” the post reads.
In the last season the entire story will be closed and Schnapp’s character could be one of the great protagonists if the theories, which suggest that he is one of the great villains, are true. Therefore, followers of the series have given a lot of importance to this radical change in his appearance, which could indicate that the little Byers would be about to enter a new life stage – perhaps revealing his true nature. .
The reception to Will’s new style has been mostly positive, with many fans expressing their relief and approval of the hair change. “They finally fixed her hair,” commented one fan, reflecting the general feeling.
Shawn Levy, director and producer of the series, has promised that this final season will be “as big as any of the great movies we see,” which has increased the desire to see how the conflicts introduced in the previous installments are resolved. However, it is still unknown when it will arrive on Netflix.
Additionally, some actors have hinted that the series could take riskier paths, as Gaten Matarazzo suggested: “This show would be a lot better if the stakes were higher, like at any moment any of these guys could die.”
