David Harbour is making grand assertions regarding the much-anticipated conclusion of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” which is presently being filmed for its fifth and concluding season.
The performer, who has portrayed Sheriff Jim Hopper throughout the series’ entire journey, graced the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast celebration at New York Comic Con on Thursday, discussing what audiences can expect from the show’s ultimate episode… including the series’ concluding chapter.
As David expressed, the series conclusion will be “the finest episode [the Duffer Brothers have] ever created,” revealing that the cast was reduced to tears during a recent script reading.
Although David confessed he can be “highly critical” of the series, given his deep connection to the narrative and its characters, he assured that the finale will bring satisfaction to viewers.
He added, “They perfectly conclude the arc… By the time we reached the end of this episode during our reading — just the four of us going through it — emotions started to flow.”
According to David, co-star Noah Schnapp exhibited the most intense reaction, claiming he was “crying uncontrollably” for the last 20 minutes of the reading.
While this revelation certainly raises concerns for Noah’s character Will and his closest companions — we’re looking at you, Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown — David attempted to downplay the emotional responses as mere nostalgia… considering the show has been filmed throughout a significant part of the cast’s upbringing.
He continued, “It’s been a decade, and we explore that notion, and it’s executed so wonderfully and beautifully… It’s a remarkable episode, and it’s a phenomenal season. You all will enjoy it.”
Netflix has yet to unveil the premiere date for season 5… but it is anticipated to debut sometime next year.
By the way, with Noah seemingly getting sentimental, the question arises…
Will Will Byers Survive?
