closing credits
Film's farewell list
Closing credits are the list of names and roles displayed at the end of a film, television show, or video game, acknowledging everyone who contributed to the production.
They typically scroll upward while music plays.
Unlike opening credits, which feature only principal talent, closing credits include the full roster—from lead actors to caterers to legal counsel.
We sat through the closing credits hoping for a post-credits scene.
