Noah SchnappWe are hopeful Will Byers’ coming-out scene will be in Stranger Things Season 5.
The actor loved the subtlety of Will’s conversation with Mike (Finn WolfhardIn Episode 7) Will joked about his feelings for his friend. But he hopes that the character can share their true feelings with the audience in the next episodes. He also asked the Duffer Brothers about their plans, but they keep it secret.
“I’m always spoiling stuff, so they will never share anything with me,” Noah told Variety, later adding that he was assured Will’s story will be good. They are still trying to figure it all out but have reached their ultimate goal.
And while the Duffers plan to be more explicit about his sexuality in the future, Noah said for viewers, it’s “100 percent clear that he is gay and he does love Mike.”
From an actor’s point of view, he felt that it would’ve been weird for Will to come out in season four since there hadn’t been much discussion about this topic in past episodes. It was there always,” he said. “But you never really know, or is it him growing up slower that his friends?”
