Sadly, Stranger Things has finally come to an end after its final episode of the fifth season released on December 31, 2025. It felt like it was just yesterday when its first season was released on July 15, 2016. But many are asking, where will our favorite Stranger Things actors star next? Here is where they will act next, now that Stranger Things has ended.

1. Millie Bobby Brown          

Millie Bobby Brown plays the main character of Stranger Things, Eleven. She is a fan favorite and very loved. During her interviews while promoting ‘The Electric Slate,’ she said that she was going to star in ‘Enola Holmes 3.’  She also revealed that she is already in development for a thriller called ‘Prism.’  This is where she plays Cassie, a young woman with supernatural abilities. Besides acting, Millie is now happy to call herself a mom, having adopted a baby girl with her husband. She also began her first trendy beauty brand called Florence. I am enthusiastic to say that this isn’t the last we will see of Millie.   

2. Sadie Sink 

Next up is the gorgeous Sadie Sink. Many fans are most excited to see her journey through acting and theater. She is reported to be in the new Marvel movie starring as a new character. It is also rumored that she is dating her fellow Stranger Things costar, Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas Sinclair. Although it isn’t confirmed, fans still wish for this relationship to start, considering they have great chemistry. Lastly, she will be debuting in theater by playing Juliet in William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet.’

3. Caleb McLaughlin

We have to talk about the one and only brave Lucas Sinclair next, after just talking about the sassy Max! Fans are certainly most excited to see the movie where Caleb will star next. He will voice the main character of the animated movie ‘Goat’ while starring alongside David Harbour, who played Jim Hopper in Stranger Things. Fans are excited to see them work together again. Videos online show Caleb practicing flips and other stunts. As a result of this, many have said that he might be the next Spider-Man. Sadie Sink might play his love interest as well. Fans are most excited for his new movies, and hopefully, all the rumors will be true. 

4. Finn Wolfard

Finn is definitely one of the actors from Stranger Things who has such potential to be a great musician like his co-star Joe Keery. He has already debuted with his song, ‘Happy Birthday,’ and fans love it. He is on Spotify, and  beyond that, he confirmed he is working on a project related to the ‘It’ universe. Fans are most excited for this since he starred in both ‘It’ movies when he was younger, which fans adored. 

5. Winona Ryder 

Last but certainly not least, we have the gorgeous Winona Ryder. She will be trying something new by starring in A$AP Rocky’s music video project, called Punky Rock. It also features artwork by Tim Burton. It is also previously noted that she might have a potential future role in the film, ‘Berlin Nobody.’ Fans are especially excited to see her acting career continue, considering she has starred in many classics and has been acting for over 40 years.

Finally, we can’t forget some of the other actors, like Noah Schnapp, who is taking a break from acting to complete college. This is because he has to balance it with his professional life. Other actors such as David Harbour and Maya Hawke will be starring in a few upcoming films. David Harbour will star in ‘Goat’ alongside Caleb McLaughlin, which is coming out Feb 13, 2026. Maya Hawke will be in ‘Sunrise of the Reaping,’ which many Hunger Games fans have been waiting for so long. On February 14, Maya Hawke happily got married to Christian Lee Hutson, a musician and singer-songwriter. This is scheduled for release in November 2026. No one can forget the fan favorite, Steve “The Hair” Harrington, who is played by Joe Keery. He happens to write great music, such as his hit, ‘End of Beginning,’ which was named the song of 2024. In January of 2026, he successfully reached over 62 million monthly listeners, while hitting #1 on the Global Spotify Chart. Overall, fans are very enthusiastic to see their favorite actors and characters star in new films, music videos, and shows.
