The latest season of “Stranger Things” has come to a close, but one burning question still lingers: will the Byler ship ever sail? The speculation surrounding Mike Wheeler and Will Byers becoming more than just friends has captivated fans, but the series finale seemed to definitively put an end to that possibility. Despite this, actress Maya Hawke recently shared her thoughts on the matter during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
During her chat with Fallon, Hawke chose Mike and Will as her pick for the “cutest couple that never was” on the show, sparking cheers and applause from the audience. Even Fallon himself got in on the action, encouraging Hawke to reconsider and place them back in the “best couple” category, much to her relief.
The conversation continued with Hawke assigning superlatives to other characters on the show, including Nancy as best all around, Robin as most spirited, and Sadie as most athletic. As the selections wrapped up, Fallon voiced his support for the idea that El survived the finale, shouting “I believe!” in agreement with Hawke’s final choice.
Hawke’s playful take on the potential romance between Mike and Will adds a fun twist to the ongoing debates among fans, injecting a light-hearted tone into the discussion. While the show may have officially wrapped up, the Byler ship will continue to sail in the hearts of devoted viewers, thanks to moments like this that keep the conversation alive and well.
