The Duffer Brothers made sure their art imitated their lives in the fifth and final season of *Stranger Things*.
Series co-creator Ross Duffer revealed Friday that he and brother Matt Duffer cast their high school drama teacher, Hope Hynes Love, in a pivotal season 5 role as Hawkins Elementary School teacher Miss Harris.
"High school was rough for me and my brother," Russ wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post. "But Hope saw something in us we didn't see in ourselves. And she helped give us the confidence to not only survive those four years, but to move to LA and chase our dreams."**
He added, "Shoutout to all the teachers out there making a difference. And please… let's prioritize the arts in schools."
Introduced in season 5, volume I, of the hit sci-fi drama, Miss Harris a schoolteacher who previously instructed each of the Hawkins teens fighting the evil Vecna (Jamie Campbell-Bower).
(Warning: Spoilers for season 5 ahead!) Her current classroom is being targeted by Vecna, in disguise as a kindly imaginary friend, for plans that have yet to be revealed. He has appeared to multiple children pretending to be their protector from monsters, and schemes to kidnap them all after starting with Holly Wheeler (Nell Fisher).**

When Will (Noah Schnapp) discovers Vecna's nefarious plans, he and his friends attempt to safely ferry all the targeted kids out of Hawkins. That mission is complicated by the army quarantining the entire class, including Miss Harris, on a base in the center of Hawkins, resulting in an epic showdown between Will and Vecna that ends on a cliffhanger.
