Speaking to PEOPLEin December, Harbour — whose character Jim Hopper seemingly perished during the season 3 finale — said that in the new season, fans will “see a lot of your favorite characters doing the thing that you love them for … but you’ll also see them twist it and turn it into other colors and other flavors.”
