Finn Wolfhard, the talented 22-year-old actor known for his role as Mike Wheeler in the acclaimed Netflix series Stranger Things, recently shared his heartfelt reflections on his character's fate.

In an exclusive interview with People, he revealed his conflicting feelings, stating, "I was so happy with his ending, and I don’t know, I was satisfied, but I was also very confused and sad, but also very happy." This complicated mix of emotions highlights just how deeply invested he—and fans—have become in the series.

As the highly anticipated final season prepares for its release later this year, Wolfhard reminisced about the profound impact that the show has had on his life. He reflected on wrapping up his journey with the series, admitting that filming his final scene felt surreal. "I just couldn’t believe it at all. It didn’t really start to go into focus until the next day. It was like an emotional hangover," he confessed.

On the last day of filming, the camaraderie among the cast was palpable. Wolfhard noted, "The cast all stayed for the last day; we were all there together. It was really great to be around each other." This sense of unity among the cast has been a constant theme throughout the show's run.

Looking back on the meteoric rise to fame that Stranger Things catapulted him into, Wolfhard candidly expressed how overwhelming it was. He admitted, "I don’t think I’d ever go back and do something over, but maybe I would go back to when the show first came out and blew up, and I would directly put myself into therapy. But it was so crazy and overnight that there was not really any time to think about that." This honest insight showcases the unique pressures young actors face in the entertainment industry.

As fans eagerly await the final season, Wolfhard’s reflections serve as a poignant reminder of the emotional journey shared by both actors and audiences alike in the world of Stranger Things.
