28 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Duffer Brothers cast their high school drama teacher, Hope Hynes Love.
- She plays Miss Harris, a teacher in Hawkins Elementary School.
- The Duffer Brothers aim to highlight the impact of arts education.
The Duffer Brothers are weaving personal history into the fabric of Stranger Things' final season by casting their former high school drama teacher, Hope Hynes Love, as Miss Harris.
Miss Harris, a new character introduced in season 5, plays a teacher at Hawkins Elementary School who previously taught the series' main young characters. Her storyline involves her classroom being targeted by Vecna, who disguises himself to lure children away.
This casting choice serves as a profound tribute from the Duffer Brothers, who credit their teacher with helping them overcome a difficult adolescence and inspiring their journey to Hollywood. They hope this gesture emphasizes the critical role of arts education in schools.
