After months of waiting, Stranger Things 2 has almost arrived, bringing revelations about the Upside Down and where Eleven has been.

The Independent spoke with Chief Hopper himself, David Harbour, about the upcoming series, the actor revealing some lovely little details.

Along with comparing the character to Hamlet and teaser a darker season arch, Harbour confirmed Stranger Things will finish around season four or five, calling the final point “a very beautiful end”.

“We’re talking about ending Stranger Things at either season four of season five,” the 42-year-old said. “I know there is an end to the story. It’s a very beautiful end.

“We’ve already been laying out the pipework. There are easter eggs in season one that you won’t get until season four. You’ll look back and say ‘we’ve been seeing this story the whole time, we just haven’t realised it’. To me, that’s wonderful.”

During the interview, Harbour also spoke about his upcoming role in Hellboy, along with the current state of blockbusters in general. Read the full interview here.

Stranger Things 2 will be available on Netflix from October 27
