The actor who plays the sheriff in "Stranger Things" said: I didn't expect this show to have a second season

The operating model of American TV series often makes it difficult for cast members to judge their future. Some TV series that they think are good are cancelled after one season, while many works that were originally unknown suddenly become a hit. "Stranger Things" belongs to the latter.

Moreover, it is not only the audience who are amazed by the performance of this drama, even the actors themselves find it incredible. Recently, David Harbour, who plays Sheriff Hope in "Stranger Things", said in an interview:

"I remember when we were shooting the first season, we were in Atlanta, and Netflix was only giving us 50 cents, and about the fourth episode, my hairstylist came to me and said, 'I don't think this show is going to work.' After the first season was finished, I felt bad, there would be no second season, we would be the first Netflix show that didn't get a second season. We thought no one would like to watch this thing, it would be a car crash."

Everyone knows the final result: he was extremely wrong.

As for the 50 cents cost back then, Netflix would adjust the cost after each season. By the fourth season, the figure had become 300 million US dollars, and there were only 10 episodes of content.

Regardless, Harbour will continue to act in the show, and his work will be completely done after the final season in 2024.
