David Harbour did not suppose Stranger Things can be renewed after the primary season, and boy, we’re glad he was flawed.

The star is gearing as much as play Hopper in season 5 of the Netflix sequence, a sentence that he by no means thought he’d utter. “I bear in mind once we have been taking pictures the primary season. We have been down in Atlanta, Netflix had given us a funds of about $20,” he stated on the BBC’s The One Present, in keeping with the AV Membership. “Midway via I bear in mind my hair particular person coming as much as me, like about episode 4 we have been taking pictures, and she or he was like, ‘I do not suppose it is gonna work.'”

He continued, “By the point we completed, we wrapped, I assumed we would not get a second season, we might be the primary Netflix present sort of ever to by no means get a second season.” 

Whereas David thought it “was going to be a catastrophe,” it ended up being a hit. The present is Netflix’s greatest English-language TV season in historical past and the streamer is already planning for a spin-off sequence.
