Finn Wolfhard Confirms Second Solo Album, Due Shortly After Last Year’s Debut

Finn Wolfhard will release his second solo album in the coming months, a swift follow-up to last summer’s debut Happy Birthday. The news arrives via a cover feature in the latest issue of DIY Magazine, where Wolfhard discusses the rapid creative turn and the weight of steering his own career beyond the screen.

“It’s amazing to have that kind of freedom and those opportunities,” he told the publication. “But it’s also scary having to be responsible for yourself. If you’re a kid actor, you’re still learning, and you have your parents. Now, it’s really freeing, but also scary to be out there and [accept that] I am going to make mistakes.”

Since ending his long run on Stranger Things, Wolfhard has wasted little time building a parallel path in music, playing live shows and dropping Happy Birthday in 2025. The new record accelerates that momentum, arriving just over a year later. No title, tracklist, or exact date have been shared, but the existence of a finished second album suggests a deliberate, self-directed pace rather than a casual sideline.

Wolfhard’s comments point to a line he’s drawing between youthful instinct and adult accountability. “I am going to be drawn to things that I want to do — and that might not necessarily be what other people want me to do,” he said. “But I have to take that responsibility on myself, because it’s my life and my career.” For listeners, that tension may shape whatever comes next.
