"Stranger Things" Cast Bids Emotional Farewell at Lucca Comics & Games Festival

On October 31, 2025, the creators and cast of the hit Netflix series "Stranger Things" gathered at the Lucca Comics & Games Festival in Italy to bid an emotional farewell to the show's devoted fans.

The Duffer brothers, who created the series, shared that they had known the final scene for the show's fifth and last season for about six or seven years. "Obviously, it's stressful trying to figure out how you want to end the show," said Ross Duffer. "But once we read it through with [the actors], we realized how much it reflected our own experience. And hopefully that emotion that we felt writing it -- and our actors felt performing it -- is going to come through to the audience."
