Get ready, Stranger Things fans! The fifth and final season of the hit Netflix series is just around the corner, and actor David Harbour, who portrays the beloved character Jim Hopper, has recently revealed some exciting news. In an interview with Collider, he disclosed when filming will commence for the highly-anticipated season.
Despite being shrouded in mystery, fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that season 5 of Stranger Things will officially begin production in June 2023. Harbour shared that he has a few months left to prepare for filming and get back into character as Hopper.
Harbour also divulged that his character will be returning to his roots. After being imprisoned in Russia for an extended period, Hopper was shown in a different light in season 4.
The aim was to explore different aspects of the character, both physically and emotionally. However, in season 5, Hopper is back in the United States, and according to Harbour, he is going to be “well fed” with cheeseburgers.
While fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Stranger Things season 5, the current global pandemic has caused a delay in the production and release schedule.
Although the Duffer brothers originally intended to keep up with the annual release rate, the pandemic and the show’s increased budget have caused production times to extend. As a result, Netflix has yet to announce an official release date for the series, but it is expected to premiere sometime in 2024.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the release date, fans are ecstatic to hear about the start of production for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. With Harbour’s reveal of the filming schedule, fans can now get excited to see what the Duffer brothers have in store for them.
