“It's very beautiful”: Stranger Things cast in tears for the last episode

David Harbour describes the “deep and sincere” emotion of the actors and actresses, when reading the grand finale.

Tears in sight among fans of Stranger ThingsThe final season of the cult Netflix series will air in 2025 and the final episodes are currently being filmed.

David Harbourwho plays Jim Hopper, tells ComicBook how emotional things are behind the scenes in Hawkins. Especially since they recently read the script for the big finale: “Finding ourselves like this, with the original team, is crazy because we have come a long way and this is not the series that we started in season 1.“, he analyzes. “It's a crazy experience for all of us. These kids were 11 when we started. Now they're 20 and they shave and they're not kids anymore. Finn (Wolfhard) just made a movie, can you believe it?

Then he recounts the emotion aroused within the team by the script of the last episode of Stranger Things :

“We just read the last episode and the amount of crying it caused…. The episode is very beautiful. But there's also a deeper level I think. Because it takes them back to their childhood. They were 11 years old, they grew up, they fought this monster. I've never seen so much crying so sincerely, from teenagers or young adults.”

And David Harbour promises that these tears, even filmed for social networks, were not a feigned emotion.There was something intimate, something deep in the sense that we are a family. There is this intense level for us, as individuals, who have worked together for nine years since they were children, and that really comes through. There was a kind of deep honesty in that grief.“.

Now it will have to be filmed. Because the production of season 5 of Stranger Things is not finished. It should continue until the end of the year.
