-Netflix.
The Duffer Brothers made a sentimental casting choice in Stranger Things Season 5 by bringing in their former high school drama teacher, Hope Hynes Love, to play Ms. Harris.
Ross Duffer shared on Instagram that Love was instrumental during their difficult teen years, giving them the confidence to pursue filmmaking.
He also used the moment to thank teachers everywhere and urge more support for arts education.
She notices Holly talking to “Mr. Whatsit,” later revealed to be Vecna, and later helps the military protect the children before they’re ultimately taken at the end of Episode 4.
As the Duffers near the end of their decade-long series, they admit they’re excited, nervous, and emotional. Volume 1 is streaming now, with Volume 2 arriving December 25 and the finale on December 31.
