What did Joe Keery say about the final day of Stranger Things?
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Keery — who plays Steve Harrington in the show — opened up about what it was like to be on set while Netflix wrapped up the final season of the show, calling it a “long year” of filming, and an “emotional” end to everything.
“It’s crazy. It was a long year,” Keery said. But to wrap it all up and the anticipation of working on something for so long — I mean it’s been one-third of my life, really. It was emotional. We sort of got to that last day and it was like everything really hit on that last day of shooting.”
Stranger Things Season 5 will star Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Sadie Sink as Maxine “Max” Mayfield, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair, Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna, Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler, Amybeth McNulty as Vickie, and Linda Hamilton in an undisclosed role.
Stranger Things Season 4 set a record for Netflix, having been viewed for more than 287 million hours during the week of May 23-30. That’s not only good enough for the top spot of the week for Netflix, but it’s also more than enough to break the record for the streaming platform’s biggest-ever premiere weekend for an English-language series. That was previously held by the second season of Bridgerton (193 million hours).
