That\u2019s why I love the show. I think it\u2019s a great \u2062show, even if\u2064 I wasn\u2019t in it,” he expressed. “Now\u200b we\u2019re almost nine years from filming\u2063 the\u2062 first season, and I think it is time for it to end.”<\/p>\n Despite\u200c the bittersweet nature of\u200d saying goodbye,\u2064 Harbour emphasized the importance of moving forward and exploring new opportunities. “But it is, of course, very \u2064bittersweet. You know, there\u2019s a sadness there. But also, we\u2019ve all grown up. It is time for us to leave that nest and try other things and different projects.”<\/p>\n He also highlighted his excitement for the Duffer\u200b Brothers<\/strong>, the creative minds behind Stranger Things<\/strong>, to pursue new\u200d ventures. “Those guys are so talented.
