Hope Hynes Love plays Ms. Harris in the final season of the hit Netflix show. The decision to cast their high school drama teacher in Stranger Things season five was notably special for the Duffer Brothers .

Just because 'Stranger Things' is coming to an end doesn't mean season 5 didn't find a way to expand — and recast — with some new characters

"Stranger Things" co-creator Ross Duffer said he and his brother Matt cast their real high school drama teacher in Season 5 of the Netflix drama.

Linda Hamilton, best known for her iconic role as Sarah Connor in the "Terminator" franchise, revealed she was on the verge of retiring from acting before the Duffer Brothers cast her in "Stranger Things.

In the fourth episode of Season 5, called "Sorcerer," Will’s emotional flashback to when he was a kid included scenes of Will and Jonathan building Castle Byers, but it wasn’t in pouring rain or the middle of the night, and there was no sense of urgency that they had to finish it in that one night.

The Duffer Brothers cast their high school drama teacher in 'Stranger Things' Season 5 in a sweet gesture to their artistic beginnings.

Below, The Hollywood Reporter speaks with Sadie Sink about Max’s epic comeback, spending most of her scenes across from a relative newcomer to the Stranger Things scene, and why she still doesn’t feel closure at the end of the series’ run.

When Stranger Things Season 5 came out, many fans were shocked by a major reveal. But according to the show's cast, the twist was almost spoiled, quietly, in the season's poster.
