Fans hoping for answers about Will Byers' sexuality inStranger Things' fourth season won’t have to wait much longer.
Show creatorsMatt and Ross Duffer, a.k.a. the Duffer Brothers, said viewers are “supposed” to be wondering after hints were dropped about Will (Noah Schnapp) during the first seven episodes of season 4, which Netflix released on May 27.
“I just want people to watch the final two episodes,” he added of season 4, part 2, which is scheduled to drop on July 1.
“We have story arcs and we have character arcs,” said Ross. “How we structured [the season], we’ve released the first two acts of this story. The final act, which is the last two episodes, resolves a lot of things, both character and story, and then some of it is also setting up for our final season.”

Schnapp, 17, recentlyopened up to PEOPLEabout howStranger Thingsfans would see his beloved character of Will “in a different light” in this latest season.
“I feel like people are used to seeing him fighting a monster or struggling with the supernatural side ofStranger Things,” he said. “But this season, it’s just more about his personal struggles and struggles with his identity, and I think it’s interesting for the audience to see that.”
