David Harbour Says The Cast Of ‘Stranger Things’ Were “Uncontrollably Crying” During Table Read For The Final Episode

David Harbour, the charismatic actor who brought us the grumpy-but-lovable Jim Hopper, just dropped some spicy new details about the Stranger Things finale. And brace yourselves—this isn’t just a “sniffle at the end” kind of farewell. No, no. This is the grab-your-tissues-and-sob-until-your-eyes-look-like-a-Demogorgon kind of finale.

During the 10th-anniversary shindig for the Happy Sad Confused podcast on October 17, Harbour shared some inside scoop that’ll make fans excited—and emotionally ruined. Because what’s a TV show ending without a good group cry, right?

David: Professional Show Critic and Resident Heartbreaker
“I can be very critical of this show,” Harbour confessed, like someone who says, “I don’t usually like cake” but eats the whole thing anyway. Even with his nitpicky tendencies, he admitted that the final episode is “the best episode they’ve ever done.” Big words from the man who survived a Russian gulag and fought off monsters in two dimensions!

Apparently, the emotional chaos started right in the middle of the final table read. “Halfway through, people started crying,” Harbour said, as if tears were just casually handed out like snacks. “Then the last 20 minutes were pure ugly-crying—like, Noah Schnapp was in peak tear-mode.

Imagine a room full of actors sobbing uncontrollably, tissues flying, noses honking like they’re auditioning for a tissue commercial. David wasn’t ready for it, and you won’t be either.

Harbour went full sentimental mode, reflecting on how the show was essentially the kids’ childhood in real-time. “It’s been 10 years,” he said, probably with that wistful look only people with impressive beards can pull off. “And this season really explores that, which makes it so beautiful.”

Get ready to love every single minute of this final season—while sobbing uncontrollably, obviously. “It’s a great episode, and it’s such a great season,” Harbour promised with the confidence of a man who knows fans will be crying into their Eggo waffles for weeks.

So, whether you’re emotionally ready or not, David Harbour says this finale is coming—and it’s coming for your heart.
