David Harbour Shares What He Learned From Young Castmates On “Magical” First Season Of ‘Stranger Things’: “Just A Joy To Work With And I Had A Blast”

During a Thursday FYC event at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the tables were turned on the elder statesman of Stranger Things, David Harbour, as he was asked what he learned from his younger castmates on the Netflix thriller-drama series.

“Uh, nothing,” he joked at first, before describing the first season of the Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer-created show as a “magical experience.”

Noting that Season 5 “transcends character” and becomes more “about Matt and Ross’ vision — which became so large and epic in scale and scope and the things that they accomplished cinematically in a TV format, I’ve never seen done before, and I think is to be applauded and celebrated,” the twice Emmy-nominated actor joked that his “favorite season” was Season 1 because “I was thinner.”
