Stranger things star Cara Buono has shared her honest thoughts on whether the series finale will satisfy viewers.
Cara, who plays Mike and Nancy’s mother Karen Wheeler, and on-screen husband Ted (Joe Chrest).
“With every great show you can’t please everyone. But I do think the audience will be very happy,” she noted.
“I remember reading through it before we started [on season 5] and we were all together as a cast. That was a great moment. We started what would last a whole year, which is really unheard of – especially on television. We all thought, ‘That’s going to take a long time.’ But I felt like it went by very quickly,” she noted. “And the last day of the show was the very last day of shooting for me.”
Fast forward to the last day of taping: “Everyone was there, the families were there and I was in the penultimate lineup for the end of the show,” Cara said.
“So it was a really beautiful moment. Because in Season 1, I was the first day, the first scene, the first shot. For me, it came full circle at the end. It was just a matter of coming out of it by trying not to cry and being able to get my lines out,” she revealed.
Cara is happy that Karen got to fight a demogorgon in episode four because she wanted her to “get off the couch and fight.” At the end of vol. On January 1, Karen and her husband Ted were both injured and recovering in the hospital after a demogorgon attacked their home and took their youngest daughter Holly.
Stranger things returns to Netflix with Volume 2 on December 25, with the finale being released on December 31.
