He had one word to say about the script for season 5 of Stranger Things, and it is "unbelievable." He told PEOPLE that he read the script while he was in the shower.

In his words:

"I remember I had people texting me before the scripts came out, like, 'Noah, watch out. You're going to like this season,' and I was like, 'Oh, whatever, whatever.'

He elaborated:

And then we got to the day before the table read and I was reading it in the shower and I was like, 'Oh, my God.' Like, calling my mom, 'Oh my God, you have to read it,' and freaking out. I was skimming it as I was getting ready in the shower."

Noah Schnapp has been a part of the series ever since it came out in 2016. At the time of its release, Schnapp was only 11 years old when he played the role of Will Myers.

While in the world premiere of the last and final season of the beloved Netflix original series, Noah Schnapp also spoke about the message that Stranger Things is trying to portray. He explained:

"It's a show at its core about friendship and connection and belonging and embracing your differences, and it just makes you feel a part of something... It makes you feel empowered to be proud to be different and proud to be who you are. And I love that about it, and I think that's why others do as well."

Noah, who has been a part of the series ever since he was 11 years old, has formed beautiful friendships with his co-stars. He also spoke about his real-life friendship with the other actors, saying:

"I mean, of course Millie is my best friend for life... But they all truly are just family to me, and it shows on screen. I mean, thank God we're so close."

He also had a message to share with his younger self. He told PEOPLE:

"I would say just stay true to yourself... Don't let anyone dim that light that you have and be present and take it all in because you're going to blink and you're going to be standing on the last season carpet and saying goodbye."
