When “Stranger Things” first aired on Netflix in 2016, the main cast varied in age from about 12 to 14 years old, which corresponded to the characters’ seventh-grade ages. However, as the series went on, the timeline moved slower than actual life, and the young performers began to mature before their characters, posing difficulty for the show’s directors and producers.
A producer approached Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on the hit sci-fi program, during an earlier season and asked if he could raise the pitch of his voice and adjust his posture to better resemble Will’s age. In Season 4 of “Stranger Things,” Will is either 14 or 15 years old, while Schnapp is almost 18.
“It was the apex of change, and puberty and growing up, and just everything was changing with all of us, and the directors were just not liking it,” Schnapp told Flaunt. “And I remember one of the producers approaching me and saying, ‘Noah, could you just talk in a louder tone and slump a little bit?'” ‘Like, we need you to maintain your Season 1 innocence.’ ‘I don’t know what to tell you,’ he said. My voice is fading. ‘I don’t sound as young as I used to.'”
Season 4 of “Stranger Things” was completed on July 1 in two parts, while writing for the fifth and final season has begun. Season 4 of Matt and Ross Duffer’s throwback series ended on a major cliffhanger, with the season’s primary villain Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) temporarily vanquished but ultimately succeeding in his plot to unite the dark otherworld of the Upside Down with the quiet Indiana town of Hawkins. Season 5 will most likely follow the vast ensemble cast as they strive to protect the town and finally eliminate the Upside Down.
