Stranger Things is all set to return for its fifth and final season. It has been the most streamed series of all time for Netflix, since 2016. And now when the SAG-AFTRA strike has finally ended on a good note, fans are going crazy for its return.
David's excitement
David Harbour, who played the role of Sheriff Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, couldn't resist his excitement for the return. While talking to People, he shared that he absolutely loves the show, and can't wait to return as Jim. He attended the red carpet for the BoxLunch Gala honouring Feeding America, where Harbour was named the Giving Ambassador, he shared, “We got to film that last season of Stranger Things, don’t we? I got to be down there, like, in a couple of days. We gotta get going, we’re late.”
Stranger Things story
Stranger Things is set in the fictional rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the '80s. The nearby Hawkins National Laboratory ostensibly performs scientific research for the United States Department of Energy but secretly experiments with the paranormal and supernatural, sometimes with human test subjects.
Harbour wants to get back to work as soon as possible
David shared that the series has changed his life. It made a huge difference in his career. “I'm excited to give him (Jim Hopper) the finale that I've wanted to give him since we started. I just love it so much, I just can't wait to pour my heart into it. We're gonna work as hard and as fast as possible to get it to people, because we know they love the show as much as we do. It's really exciting stuff, the script is good.”
Although Strange Things Season 5's exact release date is not announced yet due to several delays, it is expected to drop on Netflix in 2025.
