Harbour, in an interview with E!, shared his encouragement for his younger co-star. “I’m always happy for people that are true to themselves and come out.”

Supporting Schnapp following the announcement, Harbour said, “That was terrific.”

Elsewhere in his interview, Harbour confirmed that he has “complete faith” that the Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things.

“I mean, every season they’ve knocked it out of the park. Each season seems to get better in terms of what the show is,” he noted.

“I have complete faith that whenever we get the scripts they’re going to be phenomenal and they’re going to stick the landing. They always do.”
