Stranger Things Season 5 Finale: The Best

By August Tales

The cultural phenomenon that is “Stranger Things” gears up for its epic Season 5 finale. Fans can hardly wait for what promises to be a groundbreaking episode. A linchpin of this beloved series, David Harbour, recently shared insights that suggest the finale might be the best TV moment yet.

Harbour Raises the Curtain

Speaking at the Happy Sad Confused podcast’s 10th-anniversary celebration during New York Comic Con 2024, Harbour was full of anticipation. The actor, famous for his portrayal of Jim Hopper, unveiled the monumental impact of reading the last episode’s script.

“I can be very critical of this show,” Harbour confessed. Yet, he didn’t hold back in showering praise, saying, “The team behind Stranger Things nailed it for the final episode.” His enthusiasm is matched by his colleagues—who ended their script reading in tears.

Emotional Rollercoaster

The Stranger Things cast experienced an emotional journey. Harbour described that about halfway through the script, cast members were moved to tears. “In the end, it was just uncontrollably crying,” Harbour elaborated. The poignant moment of closure resonated deeply with the young actors. “Noah Schnapp being my favorite,” he added.

Reflecting on the show’s decade-long journey, Harbour noted, “These kids started at 11 and 12, and now it’s 10 years later. We examine that idea, and it’s so well done.” The finale, therefore, isn’t just about ending a story; it ties an intricate narrative to their personal growth.

Setting Streaming Records

Fans remember the sensational impact of Season 4. Clocking in over 287 million viewing hours during its premiere week, it clinched Netflix’s top spot. That record far surpassed the previous one held by “Bridgerton” Season 2. This success sets the precedent high for Season 5’s showdown.

As anticipation builds, David Harbour’s revelations only add fuel to the excitement blaze. The forthcoming episode promises not just an end, but a celebration of one of TV’s most magical eras. “It’s such a great season,” Harbour assured, “You guys will love it.” Get ready, “Stranger Things” fans—the most iconic showdown is just around the corner.
