Millie Bobby Brown, the 19-year-old actress who plays the character of Eleven in the Netflix original Stranger Things, is leaving the Stranger Things Universe after wrapping up the fifth and final season. Stranger Things Season 5 is reportedly set to begin shooting in June 2023.

Why

Stranger Things first premiered in 2016, when the English actress was 12 years old. The Enola Holmes star is now bidding farewell to this chapter of her life and her character Eleven.

Brown is now open to welcoming new projects and roles coming her way.

It does feel like an end of an era as Millie Bobby Brown began filming the show when she was in her preteens and is now in her late teens.

The character Eleven turned the British actress into a household name. Millie Bobby Brown garnered much popularity and fame through this Netflix series.

Speaking to Parade magazine, Brown said that she was ready to leave Eleven behind and move on to new roles, "Yes, I think I am ready. I think it's been-it's been a long time coming, and I think the fans need closure, and so do the actors. So, I think we're definitely ready to be able to say goodbye to those roles and thank them and be grateful for the time that I've had with them, but I'm ready to move on to new projects and new roles to fulfil."

Millie Bobby Brown will still very much be a part of different Stranger Things events such as the red carpets or premieres as the cast promotes their final season.

Will Season 5 be the final season?

There isn’t much clarity on whether Season 5 will be the last season - Duffer Brothers, who are the creators, directors and executive producers of this sci-fi horror drama show, announced in early 2022 that Stranger Things would come to an end with Season 5. Finn Wolfhard (who plays the character of Mike Wheeler on the show) also recently teased that the last season of Stranger Things won’t come out until 2025.

Duffer Brothers have confirmed that even though the Stranger Things series will come to an end, the Stranger Things universe will still be very active; the franchise will continue after its upcoming final season – there will be new stories, mysteries and adventures. However, it’s not clear what exactly it would entail and if Millie Bobby Brown would take part in any future projects.
