Duffer Brothers Confirm Nancy and Jonathan’s Breakup in Stranger Things Season 5

Creators say the split positions Nancy for independence before the Dec. 31 series finale.

Overview

  • Matt Duffer told People that a debated moment in Volume 2 signifies a breakup and that the characters are no longer together.
  • The brothers said the choice was planned well in advance to let Nancy find herself heading into the conclusion.
  • Ross Duffer described the relationship as a trauma bond shaped by shared ordeals rather than lasting compatibility.
  • The clarification followed audience confusion over an intentionally ambiguous scene in the new batch of episodes.
  • Volume 2 is now streaming on Netflix, and the two-hour finale, The Rightside Up, debuts Dec. 31 in select theaters and on Netflix.
