Eleven actor Millie Bobby Brown reacts to Stranger Things season 5 being the end for the Netflix show and its impact on her life and career.
Millie Bobby Brown opens up about her feelings surrounding the end of Stranger Things. After a successful 2016 debut with Stranger Things season 1, Brown emerged as one of the sci-fi series' breakout stars due to her impressive performance as the super-powered tween Eleven. The character has since become a staple member of the Hawkins kids gang, often driving the plot of subsequent season,s or becoming the solution to the town's supernatural threats. In the latest season of Stranger Things, the series dug deeper into Eleven's past as she sought to get her powers back, revealing her connection to the season's terrifying villain, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower).
Stranger Things season 4, released in two installments with the finale airing in July, was revealed to be the show's penultimate season, meaning that season 5 will be the last. Stranger Things season 5 will have major fallout from season 4 to contend with, since disaster struck Hawkins in the finale and brought the Upside Down into the characters' hometown. The writers have previously teased the final season's episode count, runtimes, and a few other details about the season, including a confirmation that filming will commence in 2023. Now, Brown talks her reaction to the series ending.
During an appearance on Good Morning America, Brown discussed the upcoming final season of Stranger Things. The star acknowledged that while the series has been a huge part of her life, her experience hasn't come to a close yet, potentially teasing that a return could be in order.
“It’s gonna be hard, of course. It’s like my high school, I grew up on the show. They’re like my school friends. You know, it’s gonna be hard. But I’m never gonna not see them again, and I’m sure Netflix will make it last for as long as it can, and…it is just so much a part of my career and so formative, and I’ll always remember my experience with Stranger Things.”
