“It does feel like it’s time. It won’t be easy for it to end. I mean, I owe my whole career to being on that show and all the opportunities that I had since are because of that show. So it’s very convoluted.”

Keery, aware that the show’s final season is rapidly approaching, has been reflecting on his development and life after Hawkins.

“There’s a sense of relief, there’s a sense of sadness. I guess my goal is to just really soak it up as much as I can while we’re doing it, and not take any of it for granted because it’s been an amazing ride with such great people. And then once it’s done, move forward and try to just hold on to the joy that we had when we were making it….Everything has a beginning and a middle and an end. It’ll be nice to have the end of this too.”

Some actors effortlessly move on from one exceptional role to the next, but others struggle with the fear of being pigeonholed and the uncertainty of whether they can recreate the same success.

Gaten Matarazzo, the actor who portrayed the lovable Dustin Henderson, is currently facing this dilemma. As a key part of the hit show Stranger Things from the beginning, Matarazzo is understandably anxious about what the future holds.

“There’s kind of an excitement there because you always want to wrap it up and see how these characters are going to finally develop one last time, and how they’re going to finish their journeys. There’s, like, a deep fear. Not only has it been amazing, but it’s been pretty great job security for a while. Back to freelance.”

As Stranger Things comes to an end, the cast is faced with a mix of emotions. Millie Bobby Brown is excited to embark on new ventures, embodying the show’s adventurous spirit. Meanwhile, Gaten Matarazzo’s journey mirrors the challenges actors face in breaking away from typecasting.
