Everything to know about Noah Schnapp launching a Stranger Things podcast

With the surge in podcast popularity and numerous celebrities jumping on the audio entertainment bandwagon, it is natural for fans to speculate if Noah Schnapp is the next star to launch a podcast soon, as Netflix's crown jewel, Stranger Things, concluded. However, Schnapp just wants to be present, living in the moment. 

Social media is facing a deluge of posts, with a notable one coming from an X, account named Culture Base, suggesting Schnapp will launch a Stranger Things rewatch podcast with the first episode releasing on Spotify on Monday, January 4, 2026. However, the actor has made no such official announcements yet.

As of the beginning of 2026, no official Stranger Things podcast produced by any of the show's cast members exists. A direct search for any audio series associated with Schnapp on Spotify and the show yields no results, and there are no verified confirmations from Netflix and the creators of the show. 

Although there are numerous podcast episodes and interviews featuring Schnapp as a guest, there is no podcast launched by the actor himself, so far. Meanwhile, he is still reeling from bidding farewell to Will Byers one last time.

“It was very emotional and definitely hard to say goodbye. Emotions pouring out of all of us. I’m sure you can imagine," the actor told Today when asked about his final scenes as Byers, as he prepares to plunge into new ventures after closing the sci-fi chapter of his life.
