At the Hollywood red carpet premiere, Heaton shared his excitement about the upcoming episodes.

“I really do think it’s a triumph this year. You know, we filmed for a whole year. It’s massive. And I think everyone — I’ve seen the first five [episodes] — they brought their best work to this. You know, you’re seeing our lives for the last 10 years and you’re seeing our feelings and [The Duffer Brothers] and their work all kind of come together. We like it.”

Heaton added that the season is expansive and special, with viewers having no idea what awaits them.

Joe Keery Reflects on the Finale

Keery described the final day on set as deeply fulfilling, hinting that the series finale will resolve the story completely.

“I can’t say much about what it was. But, for me, it was one of the most rewarding days on set. And usually, in life, you don’t get to close a loop really in that way. And to be given the opportunity to do that and go out in style was pretty cool.”
