Stranger Things Season 2 is likely to “p**s people off”, actor David Harbour has said.
Speaking to Deadline, the actor, who plays police chief Hopper, said he was “afraid” of working on the new season because of the success of the first.
“It’s like, you created vanilla ice cream in the first season, and it’s so tasty, so delicious, but in the second season you can’t redo vanilla,” he said. “You have to create strawberry. Some people are going to like strawberry and some people are going to like vanilla better. But you can’t try to recreate vanilla.
“We’re going to take a lot of risks. I think people are going to be pissed off by things. I think they are going to be elated and excited about things. It’s all further in terms of going on this journey.”
As for the cultural impact of the show, Harbour said he felt “terrified” of season 2.
“We feel an obligation to the people. I’m terrified in that way,” he said. “I’m more afraid this season than I was last. I was very afraid last season, but I’m more afraid this season because we’re very aware we do not want a sophomore slump. Each scene I’m thinking a lot more specifically, and I’m thinking a lot harder. We feel the ownership of this great thing and the camaraderie, and also we feel this pressure.”
Season 2 of Stranger Things premieres on Netflix this Halloween.
