Overview
- This week Millie Bobby Brown told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that she suffered intense grief and a period of depression after filming the final season of Stranger Things.
- Brown said she called many former cast members one by one to repair ties and to apologize if she had ever offended them after the series ended.
- Netflix confirmed that Brown and David Harbour will reunite as lead actors and executive producers on an untitled espionage series created by Jack Thorne, and Variety reported that Harbour will play a disgraced ex‑FBI agent whose daughter, played by Brown, disappears.
- Earlier media reports said Brown filed an internal complaint about Harbour and that Netflix investigated; Harbour has denied the Mail on Sunday account, said the story was false, and acknowledged past tensions and episodes related to his bipolar disorder.
- Stranger Things ran from 2016 to 2025 and shaped the actors’ formative years, which helps explain why Brown describes the show as tightly bound to her identity and why the reunion and the public discussion of mental health are likely to shape how the industry and fans view their next projects.
