“I’m gonna just make a bold statement,” David Harbour (Jim Hopper) told ComicBook last year. “Each year, it feels like the show’s getting bigger and bigger and more exciting.

Because I’m going down there next week to start and I’m going to pour my whole heart into this thing. I’ve read some of the scripts and in my mind, they’re stunningly beautiful. It’s time. We’re going to knock it out of the park. We’re going to deliver you the finale that you need, that you want, that I want.”eople who has been with us from the beginning, seven years now, and it’s hard to imagine the journey coming to an end.”

Stranger Things is expected to return for its final season next year. A Quiet Place: Day One hit theaters tonight.
