Noah Schnapp as Will Byers and Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler in 'Stranger Things: Season 5' Courtesy of Netflix As Stranger Things comes to its explosive conclusion, Noah Schnapp is ready for fans to bring Will Byers’ personal journey home. With the first part of Season 5 seeing Will explore not only his dormant psychic powers, but his sexual orientation, the actor teased that the Duffer Brothers “close it really well” with the character’s apparent unrequited love for his best friend Mike (Finn Wolfhard). “Look, it’s like a real, authentic representation of a queer kid in the ’80s,” explained Schnapp on Watch What Happens Live.
