It’s the end of a huge TV era. Stranger Things will deliver its epic conclusion with Season 5 this month, and to say it has been a long journey to get here is an understatement.
Nearly 10 years after Season 1 aired in 2016, this cultural phenomenon will end with 42 episodes, countless memorable moments, and career-making roles for so many of the young actors who started on the show.
So, to celebrate Stranger Things, we had the cast — Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Charlie Heaton, Natalia Dyer, Maya Hawke, AND Joe Keery — swing by BuzzFeed for one final interview where they play with kittens and try to answer questions.
First up, they talked about what they took (or were gifted) from the set after filming wrapped. Like, Sadie took Max’s Walkman, Finn kept his bike, Noah kept the Castle Byers sign, Charlie took some stuff for his mom, Millie got to keep a lot of Eleven’s clothes, and more.
They also looked back on their time filming every season of Stranger Things, namely the scenes they remember not being able to get through without laughing. Like, this scene in Season 1 when Mike, Dustin, and Lucas are at Will’s “funeral,” and Dustin eats the Nilla Wafers.
And Caleb shared that the heartbreaking moment when Lucas screams, “Erica, help!” in the Season 4 finale, when Max is hurt by Vecna, was an improvised moment that made it into the final version.
The cast also became very nostalgic about their time on the show and what they would tell their former Season 1 selves.
And be sure to watch Stranger Things Season 5, which drops on Netflix in three parts on Nov. 26, Dec. 25, and the finale on Dec. 31.
