Stranger ThingsactorDavid Harbourrevealed he had a hunch that the horror thriller series would get canceled after the first season. It turns out to be one of the most successful original shows on Netflix.
David Harbour played Jim Hopper, the chief police of Hawkins town in Indiana. Strange things happened when Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) mysteriously disappeared. Investigations led to discovering horrific science experimentation that uncovered a covert government conspiracy. Eleven (Millie Bobbie Brown) is introduced as the girl with telepathic abilities and the one who could save Will.
WhenStranger Thingslaunched in 2016, it became a massive hit among viewers and gained a solid fan base. Today, it is considered one of the most watched shows on Netflix, breaking records of viewership across the globe. The series is now considered a cult classic and a pop culture phenomenon.
Harbour Thought Stranger Things Would Flop
In his recentinterview with BBC’sThe One Show, the actor confessed that he had doubts about the direction of the show.
“I remember when we were shooting the first season. We were down in Atlanta, Netflix had given us a budget of about $20. Halfway through I remember my hair person coming up to me, like about episode four we were shooting, and she was like, ‘I don’t think it’s gonna work.’”
Harbour thought it will get canceled after Season 1. The fact that it was an original series, there’s doubt whether the audience will buy it or not.
“By the time we finished, we wrapped, I thought we wouldn’t get a second season, we’d be the first Netflix show kind of ever to never get a second season. We thought no one would watch it, it was going to be a disaster,” he added.
Now,Stranger Thingsis breaking records, winning Emmy awards, and gaining a solid fan base all over the world!
