Eagle-eyed fans have quickly suggested that Chief Hopper, played by actor David Harbour, could be making his return in Stranger Things 4 after leaked photos of the set began circulating the internet.
At the end of Stranger Things 3, the directors made it look as if the popular character was killed in a massive explosion. Now, after fans spotted his car on the set, however, people are convinced that he’s coming back to the screens.
The pictures from the set were shared by a man who alleged to be the brother of the guy whose house is located next to where the crew was shooting.
The excited fan quickly took a few snaps and shared them on Reddit along with the caption: “Filming has begun in Rome, Georgia.”
Sadly, however, David Harbour, the actor who plays Chief Hopper, was nowhere to be seen.
Responding to people’s inquiries, the man who shared the photos added: “They’re currently filming behind my brother’s house on E 9th.”
According to Netflix, the third season of Stranger Things has become the platform’s most-watched series release with dozens of millions of viewers tuning in to get updated on the plot during the first few days of the launch.
On Monday, September 30, Netflix has also confirmed that they have signed a nine-figure deal with The Duffer Brothers “to bring their vivid imaginations to other film and series projects.”
“The Duffer Brothers have captivated viewers around the world with Stranger Things and we’re thrilled to expand our relationship with them to bring their vivid imaginations to other film and series projects our members will love,” Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos, announced.
“We can’t wait to see what The Duffer Brothers have in store when they step outside the world of The Upside Down.”
The creators of the popular franchise, 35-year-old twin brothers Ross and Matt, have also spoken out and said:
“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our relationship with Netflix. Ted Sarandos, Cindy Holland, Brian Wright, and Matt Thunell took a huge chance on us and our show — and forever changed our lives.
“From our first pitch meeting to the release of Stranger Things 3, the entire team at Netflix has been nothing short of sensational, providing us with the kind of support, guidance, and creative freedom we always dreamed about.
“We can’t wait to tell many more stories together — beginning, of course, with a return trip to Hawkins!”
