Fans of Stranger Things can finally relax—actor Joe Keery has confirmed that Steve Harrington gets the ending everyone hoped for in the final season. As Season 5 approaches, many feared Steve might meet a tragic fate, but Keery’s recent comments suggest otherwise.
“I’m very happy with the way it wrapped up for me, personally.”
When asked if viewers would feel the same, Keery didn’t hesitate to reassure them:
“Oh yeah!” — Joe Keery, via ExtraTV
Given the show’s long history of monsters and heartbreak, this news is a breath of fresh air for Hawkins fans. Among the series’ many beloved characters, Steve’s story stands out as one Stranger Things couldn’t afford to mishandle.
From his first appearance in Season 1—with perfect hair, high-school swagger, and plenty of Farrah Fawcett hairspray—Steve seemed destined to be the charming but flawed “jock” stereotype. However, over time he evolved from a self-absorbed teen into one of the show’s most loyal and endearing heroes.
Joe Keery assures fans that Steve Harrington’s storyline ends on a hopeful, satisfying note—marking a heartfelt close to one of Stranger Things’ most beloved character arcs.
