Summary

Duffer Brothers Deny

The Duffer brothers told Variety that no script ever featured Eleven reuniting with Mike for Dungeons & Dragons.
Ross Duffer called the finale bittersweet, saying Eleven avoids contacting Mike to prevent reigniting the dangerous cycle she escaped.
He noted that Mike’s narration contains no scene of a post-season 5 reunion with Eleven.
The creators said they deliberately quashed fan theories by delivering a non-simple, hopeful ending.
