Joe Keery has admitted he didn\u2019t think his character, Steve Harrington, would make it past season 1 of Stranger Things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actor admitted during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week that he didn\u2019t get all of the scripts for the first season upfront, and\u00a0so remained uncertain about Steve\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI read one, maybe, episode of the show \u2013 two episodes,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd it was kind of like a \u2013 we read three episodes, and then they had two more.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt was really, they [series creators the Duffer Brothers] were building it out as they were going. It was day-to-day [for me].\u201d<\/p>

Keery only had a recurring role as Steve in the first season as Nancy Wheeler\u2019s (Natalia Dyer) annoying boyfriend, but has since become a core Stranger Things cast member<\/a> and\u00a0major player in the battle to save Hawkins from evil.<\/p>\n

Fans had to wait a long time for the fourth season of the nostalgic sci-fi series to arrive on Netflix, but they certainly lapped it up once it arrived back in July 2022.<\/p>\n
