Noah Schnapp ‘shuts down’ viral Stranger Things Season 5 “spoiler” TikTok

by

Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on Stranger Things, recently reappeared on TikTok and shared something that fans thought might hint at a romantic storyline for his character. However, it turns out that ‘spoiler’ wasn’t what it seemed.

Everyone is incredibly excited for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things! The first part will be released on November 26th, with the second part coming on Christmas Day, and the very last episodes on New Year’s Eve. Because this is the end of the story, fans are really hoping to see satisfying conclusions to their favorite character relationships.

Popular pairings like Mike and Eleven, Joyce and Hopper, and Lucas and Max are fan favorites on the show. However, many fans are now hoping to see Mike Wheeler and Will Byers become an official couple, especially after actor Noah Schnapp revealed that both he and his character, Will, are gay.

Okay, so I saw this TikTok of Noah Schnapp, and it looked like he was hinting at something happening with Will and Mike in Season 5! He had that Tiffany song, ‘I Think We’re Alone Now,’ playing, and everyone – me included – immediately thought it meant something big for Byler. But apparently, it’s not what we thought at all!

The truth behind viral Noah Schnapp TikTok video

A new TikTok account, @schnapper290, recently posted videos featuring Noah Schnapp and hints about the upcoming season of Stranger Things. On October 27th, the account shared a post seemingly addressing fan theories about a potential romance between his character and another, but it appears this account is actually run by a fan, not Noah Schnapp himself.

Shortly after, a post on Schnapp’s Instagram Story showed a screenshot of the TikTok account, with a message saying, “This isn’t me, and anyone pretending to be me isn’t either. I got rid of TikTok a while ago.”

It’s difficult to confirm what happened, especially since the Instagram Story in question has been removed. What is certain is that Noah Schnapp no longer has a verified TikTok account following criticism of his comments on the 2023 Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I’m really relieved Noah Schnapp spoke up about that fake TikTok account. I had a bad feeling about it and thought something harmful was being planned. Hopefully, addressing it as fake will stop whoever was behind it, but it’s good he clarified it wasn’t him.

Since then, many fan accounts have appeared, including this recent one that’s quickly gained over 104,000 followers. Because of this, it’s wise to view information from these accounts with skepticism.

Stranger Things Season 5 speculation ramps up

Okay, so a lot of us Stranger Things fans totally fell for a fake leak! There’s this account, @schnapper290, that posted a video with Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now” playing, and text on the screen saying that song will be in Season 5. It got everyone thinking, like, ‘Hmm, I wonder why?’ It was a pretty convincing little tease, even though it wasn’t real!

It’s likely someone edited together a clip from an older video to make it seem like Noah Schnapp was hinting at something, but fans who want a romantic relationship between his Stranger Things characters, Mike and Will (known as ‘Byler’), are very excited. One commenter wrote, “Byler forever!,” while another confidently stated, “It’s going to be Byler, I know it.” A third person wondered if this was a leak of information about the show.

A recent video features a comment asking if a romantic relationship (‘Byler’) is going to happen. This comment was shown alongside a clip of Noah Schnapp saying he constantly sees the question but always ignores it, calling it the most frequent comment on his videos.

It seems this video is actually a compilation of older clips, cleverly edited to appear as a recent response. Noah Schnapp hasn’t shared anything new about the ‘Byler’ storyline or Season 5, but fans are still convinced it’s genuine.

One person admitted they were avoiding the topic because they knew it was correct, while another enthusiastically declared their support with ‘Byler forever!’ A third playfully confirmed their unwavering belief, stating, ‘There’s absolutely no doubt about Byler in this house.’

It’s important to be critical of what you find online. However, fans can look forward to Will playing a major role in the fifth season of Stranger Things. According to Ross Duffer, who spoke with Variety in 2023, Will will be a central figure in the upcoming season.

We believe Will’s emotional development will be key to bringing the entire series to a satisfying conclusion. Throughout the show, he’s been portrayed as the youngest, most reserved character, always needing protection. This journey isn’t just about him exploring his sexuality; it’s about him growing up and finding his own strength as a young man.

Definitely worth a look!
