David Harbour says that he has a few months left to train ahead of filming for "Stranger Things" season five — but this time, he doesn't have to lose a third of his body weight. 

According to Collider, Harbour said at the Middle East Film & Comic Con in Abu Dhabi over the previous weekend that filming for the Netflix series' fifth and final season will kick off in June of this year. This time around, however, Harbour said that he doesn't have to undergo the same physical transformation as the previous season, in which his character, Hopper, was held in a Russian prison camp.

"I did a lot of training for season four," Harbour said, per Collider. "He was in a very specific position, that Russian prison. It was about making him a different guy and sort of shedding a layer of himself physically, mentally, and emotionally. But now he's back in town, he's back in America where they have cheeseburgers, so he will be well-fed."

Harbour told GQ in July 2022 that he lost "about 80 pounds" between the show's third and fourth seasons through intermittent fasting and Pilates. While the actor told People that the weight loss "felt like a rebirth" for him physically, he also told GQ that he didn't think he would "ever do that again." He previously told GQ that he had regained the weight already for his Santa Claus slasher "Violent Night."

Harbour will have his work cut out for him this year: the actor previously told Collider that he would be simultaneously filming the final season of "Stranger Things" and Marvel's "Thunderbolts" this summer in Atlanta, Georgia.
