The ‘Stranger Things’ creators have addressed the long-running ‘Byler’ fandom, made up of fans who wanted characters Mike Wheeler and Will Byers to end up together. Asked how aware the creative team is of the fandom, Matt Duffer told Collider: “For us, there’s always noise. But when we sit down to write a season, the goal is – I mean, you have to block it out, and you have to tell the story that you are always intending to tell.” The comments come amid years of fan speculation about Will’s feelings for Mike and calls for the pairing to be made canon in the season five finale of the popular Netflix series. #StrangerThings #Byler #DufferBrothers #Netflix #gay #lgbtqia
