Worried that the long-awaited final season of “Stranger Things” won’t stick the landing? The Netflix original has already earned the seal of approval from Jim Hopper (David Harbour).
During a live recording of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Harbour praised the “Stranger Things” season 5 finale as “the best episode they’ve ever done.”
While Harbour pointed out that he “can be very critical of this show,” he said: “They land the plane, and it is the best episode they’ve ever done.
“The end of this episode when we were reading it — just us reading it — about halfway through, people started crying. Then about the last 20 minutes, it was just uncontrollably crying, waves of different people. Noah Schnapp being my favorite,” he said.
“They started the show when they were 11 and 12, and here we are reading [the finale]. It’s 10 years later, and we examine that idea, and it’s so well done and so beautiful. It’s such a great episode, and it’s such a great season. You guys will love it,” Harbour added, (quotes via Deadline).

“Stranger Things” season 5 does not yet have an official release date, but the final chapter is expected to air at some point in 2025, three years on from our last trip to Hawkins.
The last major update we got about the show came in July, when Netflix dropped a new behind-the-scenes clip from the set of “Stranger Things.” At that time, we learned the series was halfway through shooting, and members of the core crew echoed similar sentiments to Harbour’s.
We don’t know too much about the plot of season 5, either, save for the fact it involves several new castmates — Linda Hamilton, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux — and will presumably involve seeing Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and co. finally taking Vecna down for good and discovering more about the mysterious Upside Down.
