David Harbour Discusses Hopper’s Story Arc in Stranger Things Season Three

David Harbour spoke with THR for a new interview promoting the upcoming third season of Stranger Things. In the interview, Harbour addressed what was ahead for his character of Chief Hopper.

Asked about the season, Harbour said, “I wish I could characterize the season, but to me it’s so big. For example, did you find last season to be darker? There were certainly elements of it that were scary, but I thought there was also a lot of fun, a lot of joy and a lot of silliness, with Steve being a dad and the kids as Ghostbusters. Just taking my story, for example, it’s fun to see Hopper having adopted Eleven. She’s become legitimized in the society, in the world of Hawkins. And he’s a father now. He’s raising a teenage daughter, with all that that entails. So I think that can be pretty funny to see his inadequacies in all of this.”

The third season will premiere next summer on Netflix.
