Stranger Things Season 5: An Emotional Culmination Awaits
Netflix’s Stranger Things, a supernatural thriller that hit our screens in 2016, has taken its audience on a roller-coaster ride through the eerie town of Hawkins, Indiana. David Harbour, who portrays Chief Jim Hopper on the show, has now teased a “moving” finale to this iconic series.
David Harbour Teases Season 5’s Emotional Ending
Before the unfortunate SAG-AFTRA strikes brought many productions to a halt, David Harbour shared some intriguing insights on the much-anticipated end of Stranger Things during an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. While he hasn’t gotten his hands on the script yet, he’s sure of the emotional depth that the finale will carry. Harbour shares, “I have not [read the finale script], but I know what it is. I know where we net out and it’s very, very moving.”
Hints From The Previous Season
Season 4 gave a chilling peak into the possible direction season 5 could take. Hawkins found itself at the brink of an eerie invasion from the Upside Down. As Eleven, Hopper, and their team stared at their smoke-engulfed town, the tension hinted at an impending colossal confrontation.
Over the seasons, Stranger Things hasn’t shied away from dealing blows to its viewers. The demise of fan favorites like Barb and Bob, as well as Max’s traumatic turn of events in the fourth season, highlights the unpredictability of the series. Given that Vecna, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower, is expected to make a comeback, some fans believe Eleven might need to make the ultimate sacrifice to put an end to him.
Will’s Central Role in The Final Season
The Duffer brothers, creators of Stranger Things, have shed light on Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, being a central figure in the upcoming season. Linking back to events from the inaugural season, Will’s ominous connection to the Upside Down might be the key to thwarting its evil for good.
Awaiting The Grand Finale
While Stranger Things aficionados are on the edge of their seats awaiting season 5, Hollywood strikes imply a slight delay in its release. Regardless, if the show’s trajectory is anything to go by, it’s set to be a fitting, emotional swan song to Hawkins’ supernatural saga.
