StrangerThings star Noah Schnapp recently spoke about Will Byers’ sexuality, confirming the character has always been gay.
After four monumental seasons, Netflix’s ‘80s sci-fi series Stranger Things is coming to its high-stakes conclusion as Season 4 dragged our beloved characters, and fans, through the wringer. With Season 5, a lot of loose ends will need to be tidied up, and one of those is the character arc of Will Byers , who, for sentimental reasons, fans are specifically concerned about.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY All along the show has pushed the narrative that Will is "different" in some way. His mother, Joyce Byers , had to shield Will from his own father's bigotry and ignorance before their divorce. After returning from the Upside Down it was difficult for Will to reacclimate to his friend group, especially when all the others wanted to do was hang out with their new girlfriends.
In spite of the subtleties of Will's estrangement from the group, fans were miffed when each passing episode went by without young Will professing his love for his best friend Mike Wheeler . While it's understandable to seek representation and to demand that writers stop tip-toeing around the inevitable existence of the LGBTQ+ community, Stranger Things didn't write a "token" character, but a well-represented storyline for Will.
