Stranger Things has a reputation for making a sensation over the internet whenever a new season drops on Netflix. Having said that, you all must remember the last season of this globally acclaimed show. The season which has marked the end of this supernatural world. Since Hawkins is falling apart, Max is braindead, and other characters are awaiting the final battle with Vecna. While the happy news is that the moment you all have waited for long is over. David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper in the show, has confirmed the filming details of season 5.

During his appearance at the Middle East Film & Comic in Abu Dhabi, Harbour talked about the upcoming Stranger Things shoot. According to Sportskeeda, the American star stated that they will start shooting the final season in June and he was currently training for it.

Harbour also recalled his character, who spent most of his time being locked up in Russian jail in last season. And he had lost so much weight to look weaker since Hopper was going through physical and mental pain.

However, this time he will fight alongside his daughter in Hawkins and needs to bulk up to look healthier. “But now he’s back in town, he’s back in America where they have cheeseburgers, so he will be well-fed,” explained David.

Although the 47-year-old star did not give away any specific details of the plot, he did say that season 5 will elaborate the happy reunion of this father-daughter duo.
