In a thrilling development for fans of Stranger Things, the dynamic between longtime characters Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery, and Jonathan Byers, portrayed by Charlie Heaton, takes a new turn in the upcoming fifth season. This marks their first on-screen interaction since the show’s inaugural season, setting the stage for some chaotic and competitive moments.
Natalia Dyer, who plays Nancy Wheeler, shed light on this unique dynamic, revealing that the characters find themselves thrown together, leading to increased tension. “Yeah, there is a little something going on with these guys,” Dyer stated, hinting at the competitive relationship that unfolds. Keery echoed her sentiment, adding, “We’re fighting! It’s really fun to work together because we haven’t worked together since season 1.”
The new season intricately explores the evolving relationships among the main characters. Keery highlighted the stark shift in Steve’s relationship with Dustin, played by Gaten Matarazzo. Following the loss of Eddie Munson, a significant character portrayed by Joseph Quinn, Dustin is seen grappling with a darker mindset, complicating his interactions with Steve. “You always hope, when you’re playing a role, that there’s some sort of arc involved,” Keery expressed. “I feel like this season really starts in a different place.” He described Steve’s role as a “protector,” trying to guide Dustin through his grief while understanding that being supportive sometimes requires simply being there for someone without trying to fix their feelings.
As the plot progresses, the stakes heighten with the show’s central heroes preparing for a climactic showdown in Hawkins. With the mysterious disappearance of Vecna and the town currently under military quarantine, the tension is palpable. The Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things, have assured fans that this season will answer many lingering questions, promising an impactful conclusion.
