Stranger Things season 4 is the best one yet, says David Harbour

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

People recently conducted an exclusive interview with actor David Harbour (Sheriff Hopper on Stranger Things), and while talking about the show and the upcoming fourth season, he revealed that he felt that the newest season will in fact be his favorite one so far!

Here are some excerpts on what he had to say about the upcoming season:

[The show’s creators, The Duffer Brothers are] very responsive to the fan response, [but also] a step ahead with the script. [You will] see a lot of your favorite characters doing the thing that you love them for … but you’ll also see them twist it and turn it into other colors and other flavors…

…And one of the great things that you can see with Hopper is that he was a protector, he’s a man of justice [and] he now has become a prisoner. He’s trapped and he’s isolated. And we get to see an entirely other color of him that has been hinted at… You really do get to see a lot of his backstory. Who he was as a warrior in a sense. And sort of the mistakes he made in the past come back to visit him…

…This season is my favorite. [Hopper] really is going to show you some new colors and what he’s really made up of.

This is all good stuff! And as a fan of the show (even if I felt the third season was by far the weakest of the three), I'm nonetheless still excited to see where they take the character, especially after we've seen snippets of his past, such as files saying, "New York" and "Vietnam". I personally can't wait to see if/how those will be fit in!

But what do you guys think? Fans of the show? If so, looking forward to the newest season? Either way, sound off below!
