Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard has praised the decision to end the show with the upcoming fifth season.
The Netflix sci-fi drama, which stars Wolfhard as teenager Mike, will wrap up with the next instalment after creators the Duffer Brothers decided to bring the story to a close.
"To me, if Stranger Things went on any longer than five [seasons], I would say it would be ridiculous," the actor said in an interview with Uproxx.
"I think the Duffer brothers figured out, I would imagine, a perfect ending in five. We didn't even know if we'd do two. So, we're happy that people still are around and want to watch it.
"But yeah, I'm excited. Four was huge in scale, but I think I'd like to see the fifth season draw back on more of the dynamics of season one and sort of be a little more contained, but also still be gigantic. I hope we kind of get an ending for each character that's pretty satisfying for fans."
The release date for season five is expected to be some time in 2024, with scripts currently being written and filming due to begin later this year.
