How the Stranger Things Cast Leveled Up Over the Years

While the actress has embraced starting a family, Finn recently confirmed he’s still single, admitting that dating isn’t currently a high priority.

“This is the time where I have been doing the most work in my life,” he told Variety in August. “So I feel like it’s been kind of… Maybe it’s been subconsciously—what’s the word? —deliberate?—to not have a committed partner.”

Finn’s focus on his career has certainly paid off—with roles in blockbuster movies like It and Ghostbusters: Afterlife—and one key reason for his continued growth has been a conscious effort not to outdo his Stranger Things success.

“The way for me to advance in my life and my career is not to try to replace the show,” he explained to the outlet. “It’s to try to really embrace it.”

The same could be said for Sadie, 23, who has amassed a body of work that includes a memorable role in Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” short film and a Tony nomination this spring for her Broadway performance in John Proctor Is the Villain. But as her star has continued to rise, she’s become more adamant about guarding her offscreen persona.

“I don't want anyone to know anything about me in my personal life, or know too much about who I am just as Sadie,” she said in an interview with Teen Vogue published in April. “I think the louder that gets, the quieter the impact of your characters can be. At least that's my theory, so I'm rolling with that.”

Volume one of Stranger Things season five is streaming now on Netflix, with volume two dropping Dec. 25 followed by the series finale Dec. 31. For a look at the cast’s evolution through the years, keep scrolling.
