Aside from a brand new threat, and more trips to the “Upside Down”, it looks like Season 2 of Stranger Things is going to dive into Hopper’s relationship with his daughter Sarah. Actor David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper on the hit Netflix series, went into detail while talking to TV Guide:
“Hopper’s daughter will be the primary focus of Season 2, but not in the way that you think it will be. Hopper’s understanding of that relationship and Hopper’s understanding of being a father and of being a man grows deeper and deeper in Season 2, and we get a lot of time to explore what that is, but it won’t be in the literal way that you think it is.”
Sarah’s death was a defining moment in Jim Hopper’s story arc, and it will be very interesting to gain more insight into the event. If you recall, during a Season 1 flashback, Sarah saw something on the playground that terrified her. What was it? Hopefully we’ll get some answers.
