Fans can finally relax as Joe Keery confirms Steve Harrington receives a happy ending in the final season of Stranger Things. With Season 5 approaching, worry about which character might be the last sacrifice has loomed large. However, Keery reassures viewers that Steve will emerge with a smile.
The actor expressed he was “very happy… with the way it wrapped up for me, personally.” When asked if fans would share that sentiment, he confidently replied:
Oh yeah!
In a series where threats take many forms, this news is a relief to Hawkins fans. Steve's character development is one the show couldn’t afford to mishandle. Originally introduced in Season 1 as the stereotypical confident ’80s jock with perfect hair, Steve seemed destined to be a frustrating teen trope.
Initially cocky and superficial, caught between popular-boy clichés and his notable Farrah Fawcett hairstyle, Steve’s journey evolved beautifully over the seasons.
His early portrayal as a shallow character gave way to a quietly endearing transformation, highlighting his importance to the story and fans alike.
