'None of us knew it was going to be a big show': Finn Wolfhard on Stranger Things
Finn Wolfhard plays Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things.
As a young adolescent on his first major TV show, Finn Wolfhard had high hopes for the series he’d recently been cast in. Set in the Midwestern US town of Hawkins, Indiana, the show - called Stranger Things - was a clever blend of the supernatural, sci-fi, mystery and drama.
Within less than a day of it coming to the growing streaming platform that was Netflix in the summer of 2016, Wolfhard was recognised by a fan of the show in his native Canada. It was the first hint that he was about to be part of something special, he recalls now, having thought that Stranger Things might attract a cult audience.
