Will Byers will take center stage in Stranger Things season 5
The science-fiction horror-drama television series is created by Duffer Brothers. They have taken a huge risk in the fifth season as they have planned the story around Noah Schnapp’s character Will Byers. Talking about season five, Ross Duffer said,
“Will really takes center stage again in 5. This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together. Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.”
Will is the center of the final season of ‘STRANGER THINGS’.
“This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together,” says Ross Duffer

The actor later came out to his mother, father, and close friends.
The actor shared that he wanted to reveal to his close friend Millie Bobby Brown in person, but it was too difficult for him. He shared,
“I kept trying to do it in person with her, and it was too hard. So then I just FaceTimed her one day in the middle of a Party City and I was like, ‘Millie, I’m gay.’ And she was like, ‘Oh, Schnapper! You told me finally!’”
Schnapp shared that revealing that he is gay has helped him understand his character. He shared how it will impact his acting in the fifth season,
“I think the way I act in Season 5, honestly, might be a little different. I will be fully aware of who I am. Knowing all of that about myself and being able to invest that in my character, I’m honestly just excited.”
