Joe Keery Embraces New Beginnings After Stranger Things

The lights are dimming in Hawkins, Indiana, but for Joe Keery, they’re just beginning to shine somewhere new. As Stranger Things launches its fifth and final season in three parts starting November 26, 2025, the actor and musician behind Steve Harrington is stepping into a future that’s as unpredictable as it is promising. For nearly a decade, Keery has been a fixture in the pop culture landscape, evolving from a small-town Massachusetts kid to a Netflix icon, and now, to a chart-topping musician and sought-after actor with a fearless appetite for reinvention.

Joe Keery’s journey began far from Hollywood, attending River Valley Charter School and Newburyport High School before studying theater at DePaul University in Chicago. It was there, in the city’s vibrant indie scene, that he first cut his teeth in music with the psychedelic rock band Post Animal. But acting was always in the cards. According to Fanbolt, when Keery auditioned for Stranger Things in late 2015, he originally aimed for the role of Jonathan Byers. Instead, he landed Steve Harrington—a character initially written as a disposable jock, meant to meet an early demise in Season 1. The Duffer Brothers, however, saw something special in Keery’s performance: a warmth and vulnerability that prompted them to rewrite Steve’s fate. By Season 2, Steve was not only alive but had become a series regular, his arc shifting from high school bully to protective, bat-wielding babysitter—a transformation that cemented his place as one of the show’s emotional anchors.
