New York City played host to a reunion of the cast of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things over the weekend, as they gathered to celebrate the wedding of Maya Hawke, who portrays Robin Buckley in the show, to musician Christian Lee Hutson. The ceremony, held on , brought together several of Hawke’s co-stars more than a year after production wrapped on the show’s fifth and final season.
Among those in attendance were Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), according to reports. The nuptials also drew a significant family presence, including Hawke’s parents, actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, and her younger brother, Levon Hawke.
The wedding took place at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan, with Hawke wearing a voluminous white dress and a feather-lined coat. Hutson opted for a traditional tuxedo. Photographs published by People magazine captured the cast members bundled up against the cold New York weather.
Hawke and Hutson’s relationship has blossomed through their shared musical endeavors. Hutson, a New York-based musician and frequent collaborator with Phoebe Bridgers, played a vital role in the production of Hawke’s 2024 album, Chaos Angel. Hawke herself spoke in 2024 about Hutson’s encouragement and support as she transitioned from poetry and band work to a more focused musical career, describing him as instrumental in her development as an artist.
The couple’s engagement was publicly confirmed in by Hutson during an appearance on The SoCal Sound, where he discussed Hawke and Bridgers’ collaboration on his song “Carousel Horses.” Hawke had previously revealed in , during an interview on the Zach Sang Show, that they had been friends for four years, advocating for the benefits of dating close friends.
The reunion of the Stranger Things cast marks a significant moment as the series prepares to conclude with its fifth season. Production on the final season wrapped over a year ago, and the cast members have since pursued individual projects. The wedding provided a rare opportunity for them to reconnect before the highly anticipated release of the concluding episodes.
While the majority of the core cast were present, several notable actors were absent from the celebration, including Millie Bobby Brown, Charlie Heaton, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Noah Schnapp, and Jamie Campbell Bower. The reasons for their absence were not immediately clear.
Beyond the Stranger Things contingent, the wedding guest list included Sam Nivola, who appeared alongside Hawke in the 2023 film Maestro, and Kathryn Newton, a co-star from the 2017 British television adaptation of Little Women.
Hawke joined the cast of Stranger Things in its third season in , quickly becoming a fan favorite for her portrayal of Robin Buckley, the quick-witted and observant friend of Steve Harrington. Her character brought a new dynamic to the series, and her chemistry with Keery’s Steve Harrington was widely praised by viewers.
The wedding celebrations come as both Hawke and Hutson continue to build their respective careers. Hawke is expected to continue her acting and music work, while Hutson remains a prominent figure in the New York music scene, collaborating with a range of artists and continuing to develop his own musical projects.
The event underscores the close bonds formed among the cast of Stranger Things, a series that has captivated audiences worldwide with its blend of science fiction, horror, and coming-of-age themes. The reunion at Hawke’s wedding serves as a reminder of the enduring relationships forged during the show’s production and the shared experience of bringing the story to life.
