Expanding upon his earlier remark about providing Schnapp with the script in advance, Mark Duffer mentioned,

“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.”

Overall, this news is quite thrilling for fans. With the strike now resolved, fans can anticipate updates about the final season coming their way shortly.
