Fans can finally relax as Joe Keery has confirmed Steve Harrington gets a happy ending in the final season of Stranger Things. With Season 5 approaching, concerns about who would be the series' ultimate sacrifice have been rampant, but Keery assures Steve will make it through.
The actor expressed he was “very happy… with the way it wrapped up for me, personally.” When asked if fans would share the same feelings, he confidently replied:
Oh yeah!
In a show filled with all kinds of monsters, this news is a rare piece of good news from Hawkins in years.
Steve’s storyline is one the show could never afford to mishandle. From his debut in Season 1, with his signature hair and ’80s jock swagger, he initially appeared to be just a typical teen antagonist. He was cocky, a bit superficial, and fit squarely into the popular boy stereotype.
However, over the course of the seasons, his character evolved in a quietly captivating way.
Steve Harrington’s journey in Stranger Things is confirmed by Joe Keery to conclude on a positive note, reflecting the character’s significant growth from a teenage stereotype to a beloved hero.
