Joe Keery hints at unexpected end for Steve Harrington in ‘Stranger Things’

Joe Keery teased viewers about the much anticipated ending of the fan-favourite character in Stranger Things, Steve Harrington.

Steve Harrington was initially a self-centred and arrogant character, who after the breakup with Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) works on himself and becomes a fan-favourite in the Stranger Things fandom.

From season two, he unexpectedly becomes a mentor and a protective figure to Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and in extension to other kids in the series, earning the nickname "mom of the group."

Now with the final season approaching, fans are worried about his fate as it is widely expected that one of the main characters might die.

Given the character's arc, his now selfless personality sparked concern among the viewers.

However, during the Los Angeles premiere of the series, Keery in conversation with the Extra TV hinted at fate of Steve, making fans take sigh of relief.

The End of the Beginning singer while admitting that concluding the 10-year long project was "bittersweet," he was pleased with his ending.

"I was very happy, though, with the way it wrapped up for me, personally," Keery told the outlet.

The interviewer followed up by asking if fans would like Steve’s ending and Keery quickly replied, "Oh yeah, absolutely."

Stranger Things fifth and final season will follow Hawkins reeling from the chaos caused by the Rifts. The group must reunite to hunt down Vecna who disappeared after his last attack.

Stranger Things will premiere in three volumes with first one releasing on November 26, 2nd on December 25 and 3rd on December 31.
