Sheriff Hopper will be back
The fate of Sheriff Jim Hopper, who was at the epicenter of the explosion in the Russian army laboratory, was revealed with a previously published teaser for the series. In it, the guardian of the Eleventh is engaged in trivial business at the Russian military base in Kamchatka. There is a version that this character will become an antagonist in the next season (this was specifically hinted at by the performer of the role, David Harbor). In an interview, Harbor compared his hero’s fate to what happened when he transforms from an old wizard into a new version of himself, surpassing the wizard Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.
“We got it [Хоппера] again, in a sense, because he spent a lot of time in a Russian prison. It has to be reborn from what it has become,” said Harbor.
Russia withdrew in Lithuania
Scenes of the Russian prison were created in the former Lukishki prison in Lithuania, freed from the captivity of Tsarist Russia, the Republic of Poland, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and even today’s Lithuania. It was built in the early 1900s and only closed in 2019. Russia’s winter scenes were also shot in Lithuania.
“My adventure in Lithuania was a great challenge, but an even greater inspiration. We are so grateful to the city of Vilnius and the beautiful country of Lithuania for their hospitality,” said director Shawn Levy.

Another fan speculation is that the creators of the series, Eleven’s father and season one antagonist Dr. That he plans to bring Martin Brenner back.
