David Harbour has given "Stranger Things" fans another teaser about season five. Harbour teased that the final season will be "bigger than anything" fans have seen from the show and that the ending is "very moving."

Earlier this year, Harbour said he thinks "it's definitely time" for "Stranger Things" to end. Another cast member, Gaten Matarazzo, said he has a "deep fear" of the approaching finale. However, Millie Bobby Brown has said she's ready to move on from "Stranger Things."

David Harbour was a recent guest on the "Happy, Sad, Confused" podcast and spoke about the ending of Netflix's "Stranger Things." Harbour, who plays Officer Jim Hopper on the show, said he hasn't read the script for season five, but has an idea of how the show is going to conclude.

He said, "I know what it is. I know where we net out and it's very, very moving. That is the term I will use." During the interview, Harbour also revealed that season five won't start immediately after the dramatic ending of season four. Instead, there'll be a small time jump to start off the new season.

He noted, "After where season four ended — when you watch us on that hill looking at the ash and the smoke fires — we're going to start somewhere after that. So you've gotta imagine the world is a different place."

Through the years, each "Stranger Things" season has been massively popular and successful. According to Harbour, season five will be no different but will be even bigger. He said, "I mean, the set pieces and the things in the scripts that we saw are bigger than anything we've done in the past."

"Stranger Things" season five hasn't yet confirmed its release date to the public. However, Harbour revealed during his interview that the final season would take some time to complete shooting all the episodes.

"I'm excited to go back. I'm excited to wrap it up in a bold, amazing way. I'm excited to really swing with this character, because you know they're going to pay off these OG characters: Eleven, Hopper, Joyce, Will, Mike. They're going to pay them off in big ways because they've lived with you for the past eight years," Harbour shared.

During a February interview with DiscussingFilm, Harbour shared his feelings about the series coming to an end. He said that as much he loves "Stranger Things," it's "definitely time" for the show to end.

Harbour noted, "What's funny is when I started the show, I never ever wanted it to end. That's why I love the show. I think it's a great show, even if I wasn't in it. Now we're almost nine years from filming the first season, and I think it is time for it to end. But it is, of course, very bittersweet."

Harbour explained that although the ending is sad, he and the other cast have "grown up." He said it's time to "leave that nest and try other things and different projects. And to let [creators] the Duffer Brothers try different things as well."

Harbour isn't the only "Stranger Things" cast to share his feelings about the approaching finale season. Gaten Matarazzo, the actor playing Dustin, spoke about it on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon" during a March interview. He reflected on how much impact the show has had culturally and in the film industry.

He said, "It's interesting to constantly just be reminded how much people have resonated with it. I mean, it's something that's so important to all of us and has just been essential to the growth that I've had over all of my teenage years into my 20s. It's the defining aspect of the past 10 years of my life, practically the past decade."

Mille Bobby Brown, the actress playing Eleven in the show, also shared her feelings on its ending. She told Vanity Fair that she thinks she's ready but noted that "Stranger Things" has been a "huge factor" in her life. Brown added, "You're ready to go and blossom and flourish and you're grateful for the time you've had, but it's time to create your own message and live your own life."
