Finn Wolfhard to spend more time on music after 'Stranger Things' wraps up

Finn Wolfhard plans to tour with his band The Aubreys and record new music in 2026, slowing down acting after Stranger Things.

"I definitely want to pursue and keep acting, but only if it's something that I'm really in love with. - Finn Wolfhard"

Washington DC, January 3

With the end of Netflix's popular sci-fi series Stranger Things, it seems to have also marked a new phase in Finn Wolfhard's life.

After spending over a decade as part of the hit Netflix series, the actor, who played Mike Wheeler in the show, is now looking to slow down his acting work and give more time to music.

Wolfhard, who became a household name after playing Mike Wheeler in 'Stranger Things', has shared that he does not have any acting projects lined up after the show's finale and, hence, plans to focus more on his band, The Aubreys, and spend time touring and recording music in 2026.

Talking about his future plans, Wolfhard said he still loves acting but wants to be careful about what he chooses next. He explained that he only wants to take on acting work if it truly excites him.

"I definitely want to pursue and keep acting, but only if it's something that I'm really in love with," he said while in conversation with an American magazine, as per Deadline.

The actor also spoke about his plans with music and touring. He shared that he has been writing songs for the past two years and now wants to record them and perform live.

"Other than that, I'm probably going to tour a little bit with my band next year and put out another album. I have some music that I've written over the last two years that I want to record," added Wolfhard. "So, I'm kind of keeping it open."

The fifth season of Stranger Things was released in three parts: Volume 1 on November 26, Volume 2 on December 25, and the series finale on December 31, which also premiered in theatres. The final episode runs for two hours and eight minutes, making it the longest episode of the series.

As a huge Stranger Things fan from Mumbai, I'll miss seeing him on screen. Mike Wheeler was my favourite character. But it's cool he's pursuing music. Hope his tour comes to India someday!

Respect for knowing what he wants. In our film industry, stars often do back-to-back projects for money. This is a mature decision to focus on passion. Wishing him success with The Aubreys.

The finale was epic! A perfect ending. If he feels he's given his best to the show, it's okay to move on. Many child actors struggle later, so focusing on music might be a fresh start.

Honestly, a bit disappointed. He's such a talented actor. I hope this isn't a permanent shift away from films. The industry needs young actors like him. But hey, follow your heart, I guess.

This is the way. Build your financial security with a hit show, then explore your artistic passions. Smart planning. Many Indian celebrities are also multi-talented - acting, singing, directing. It's inspiring.
