Stranger Thingsseason 5’s finale gets a new tease from Jim Hopper actor David Harbour, who reveals an immense amount of crying from the cast during a table read. Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, the hit Netflix horror-fantasy returned for season 4 in 2022, following Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the gang as they face off against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) in Hawkins while Hopper struggles with his captivity in a Soviet prison.Stranger Thingsseason 5, which is now in production, is confirmed to bring the show to an end at some point next year.
In a recent interview withComicBook.com, Harbour reveals that a cast table read for theStranger Thingsseries finale has now taken place. While the actor stops short of revealing anything major about the finale script itself beyond the fact thatit serves as a “very beautiful” conclusion to the show, he does say that it resulted in a substantial amount of crying from his fellow cast members. Check out Harbour’s comment below:
“We just read we just did a read through of the last episode and the amount of crying… like the episode is very beautiful. But there’s also a deeper level of that, this was actually their childhood. They were 11 years old and grew up and fought this monster.And I’ve never seen so much heavy, heavy weeping from teenagers or young adults in my life.”
What Harbour’s Tease Means For Stranger Things Season 5
Will A Main Character Die?
Beyond what theStranger Thingsseason 4 finalesets up – namely, an incursion from the Upside Down into the real world with Hawkins as the epicenter – very little has been officially revealed about season 5. Harbour’s comment isn’t particularly surprising because, as he says, the show has been part of their lives for close to ten years. There’s understandably going to be a lot of emotion in such a situation, but the crying could also speak to the content of the episode itself.
7 Dead Stranger Things Characters Who Shouldn’t Return In Season 5
Stranger Things is about to release its final season, and it would do well to leave some of the characters from the show’s past in the past.
So far, the Duffers have been reluctant to kill off any core members of theStranger Thingscastof characters. Audiences said goodbye to Barb (Shannon Purser) in season 1, Bob (Sean Astin) in season 2, and Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine) in season 4, but the central case has largely remained safe, save for Max (Sadie Sink) being put into a brain-dead state in the season 4 finale.It’s possible thatStranger Thingsseason 5 will finally kill a main character, and that would certainly make the finale an emotional ride.

The Netflix Show’s Finale Episode Will Be Emotional For Viewers Too
Stranger Thingshas been, since season 1, one of the best and most consistent Netflix originals, offering up equal doses of terror, action, and emotion. Unless season 5 takes an uncharacteristic dip in quality,the finale is going to be emotional for audiences because they’ll be saying goodbye to characters they’ve been spending time with since 2016.
Stranger Thingsseason 4 boasts an 86% critics' score onRotten Tomatoesand an 89% from audiences.
Harbour’s comment is far from a guarantee that a major character death is coming or that the finale will end on a tragic note. In all likelihood, the series will conclude on a hopeful, happy note. But his comment does serve as a reminder that the stakes inStranger Thingsseason 5 will be high, and audiences, like the cast, are probably in for quite the emotional roller coaster as the story barrels toward its conclusion.
