Stranger Things has concluded, and the cast are reflecting on how the hit sci-fi show turned their world upside down.
The finale of Stranger Things hit Netflix on the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025. On that same evening, Millie Bobby Brown, who starred as the telekinetic Eleven "Jane" Hopper, shared a black-and-white photo of herself on location alongside Ross and Matt Duffer, the series creators. "over and out," Brown, 21, captioned the post.
Noah Schnapp, who stars as Will Byers, the missing kid who sets the show in motion, shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos with cast and crew in an Instagram post on Wednesday. "The end :)," Schnapp captioned the post.
In the photos, Schnapp, 21, sits alongside castmates Finn Wolfhard (who plays Mike Wheeler), Sadie Sink (who plays May Mayfield), Caleb McLaughlin (who plays Lucas Sinclair) and Gaten Matarazzo (who plays Dustin Henderson) on the curb between takes. Another photo shows the five cast members attending their fictional Hawkins High School graduation in orange robes and graduation caps, with a banner in the distance that reads "Congratulations, Class of '89."
In a polaroid photo, Wolfhard, 23; McLaughlin, 24; Sink, 23, and Schnapp pose in their 1980s clothes on set. Other photos show Schnapp hugging castmate Natalia Dyer, posing with crew members between filming and a group of letters Schnapp addressed to the Duffer brothers and the cast.

The insider said Brown was "still home" with a dislocated shoulder, referring to an injury she announced earlier this month when she explained her absence from GMA. “I’m really sorry I couldn’t be there with you guys. I took a fall,” Millie said in a clip shared with show where she wore a black sling over her shoulder. “Still, I wanted to participate in any way I could.”

Despite not attending the viewing, Brown still "got a link to watch it at the same time" as her castmates, the source added.
Stranger Things, which premiered in 2016, follows a group of people in a fictional Indiana town in the 1980s that suddenly find themselves battling mysterious forces when Will Byers (Schnapp) is kidnapped by an unknown force and dragged into a parallel dimension, referred to as the Upside Down. The mysterious Eleven (Brown), who has telekinetic abilities, escapes a nearby lab and becomes an unexpected hero.
