The fear that Stranger Things<\/a> might tank its reputation with a dodgy finale was a concern for the show’s cast, star Finn Wolfhard has admitted, after seeing Game of Thrones’ final season brutally “torn to shreds.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to Time<\/a>, Wolfhard mentioned the widespread reaction to Game of Thrones’ final episodes as an example of how a long-running big-budget TV series can build up enormous expectations for its hotly anticipated climax \u2014 then spark enormous backlash after failing to deliver.<\/p>\n

Negative reaction to Game of Thrones’ final season still dominates discussion around the show, following widespread criticism of its plot, pacing and sudden character developments. Many fans blamed the uneven final season on the series’ creators running out of book material to adapt, while others have suggested the series simply tried to do too much in too few episodes. Regardless, it has become a model that other series, clearly, do not want to follow.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

“I think everyone was pretty worried, honestly,” Wolfhard said. “The way that Game of Thrones got torn to shreds in that final season, we’re all walking into this going, ‘We hope to not have that kind of thing happen.'”<\/p>\n

Not that Wolfhard is suggesting Stranger Things will wrap up its own run with a similarly polarizing finale \u2014 far from it. <\/p>\n

“Then we read the scripts,” Wolfhard continued, saying that the show’s cast now felt reassured. “We knew that it was something special.”<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Stranger Things’ fifth and final season will launch on Netflix with four episodes on November 26, before a further three episodes arrive on Christmas Day, December 25. The series’ feature-length finale will then release on New Year’s Eve, December 31, wrapping up the show’s supernatural saga after almost a decade. No pressure. <\/p>\n

After all that, will this really be the end of Stranger Things? Of course not. Netflix already has plans for animated series and at least one spinoff.<\/p>\n

This week, fans learned that Stranger Things’ final episodes will wrap up one long-standing mystery<\/a> around the series \u2014 what the Upside Down actually is<\/em>. So that’s something.<\/p>\n
