Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matarazzo are embracing adulthood.
On Wednesday, July 17, the Stranger Things stars were spotted hand-in-hand walking around the streets of New York City. The Netflix stars, both 21, were joined by Matarazzo’s girlfriend, May December actress Elizabeth Yu. The group was photographed checking out multiple properties around the city.
Wolfhard kept things casual in a long-sleeved tee with the sleeves rolled up and athletic shorts. Matarazzo was photographed in grayish-beige barrel jeans, a white T-shirt, and sneakers that matched the color of his jeans. Like Wolfhard, he topped the look off with a baseball cap — although his was burnt orange.
His girlfriend, Yu, opted for a similar look and wore a white T-shirt with light-wash blue barrel jeans and a pair of black and white sneakers. She accessorized with round sunglasses and a black baguette purse.

Ahead of the actors’ recent stroll around the city, earlier this week on Monday, July 15, Netflix released a first look at the highly anticipated fifth and final season of the hit series.
The recent teaser provided behind-the-scenes footage of series stars and creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, telling the audience how emotional it is to conclude the series.
Matarazzo, who has played Dustin Henderson since he was 13 years old, said the show has become “home,” adding, “You just remember why you’re doing it and how much fun you have.”
Wolfhard, who portrays Mike Wheeler, noted, “I’m excited to have scenes with the original four.” Wolfhard has helmed the role of Mike since age 13.

The pair star alongside Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Priah Ferguson, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, Joseph Quinn, Maya Hawke, Jamie Campbell Bower, David Harbour and Winona Ryder.
Although the fifth season is imminent, the Duffer brothers have remained tight-lipped about their plans for the final installment, but have noted it will be rather emotional.
“We do have an outline for season 5 and we pitched it to Netflix and they really responded well to it,” Ross told TheWrap in May 2022. “I mean, it was hard. It’s the end of the story. I saw executives crying who I’ve never seen cry before and it was wild.”
