David Harbour: ‘It’s Definitely Time’ for ‘Stranger Things’ to End

David Harbour is ready to dock his “Stranger Things” arc.
The actor addressed the upcoming fifth and final season of the viral Netflix series, with the upcoming finale almost a decade in the making.
“What’s funny is when I started the show, I never ever wanted it to end. That’s why I love the show,” Harbour told Discussing Film. “I think it’s a great show, even if I wasn’t in it. Now we’re almost nine years from filming the first season, and I think it is time for it to end. But it is, of course, very bittersweet. You know, there’s a sadness there.”
Harbour continued, “But also, we’ve all grown up. It is time for us to leave that nest and try other things and different projects. And to let the Duffer Brothers try different things as well. I mean, those guys are so talented.
