Speaking with Collider, the actor shared that "it’s going to be hard" to say goodbye to her Stranger Things character Eleven and that she is "not really sure" how she's going to feel when the time comes. With production currently underway on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, Brown revealed what she had done to make sure Eleven always remained a part of her.
"Well, I'm really emotional, and I do attach myself to characters. I got the Eleven tattoo, so I always feel like there's gonna be a sense of her with me, and I'll always go back to her for reference," she said. The Damsel actress continued, "Of course, I wanna grow as an actor and as a person, but of course, that's always gonna be my home and my root to who I was and who I am."
Millie Bobby Brown gained international notoriety and praise for her role as Eleven in the Netflix series Stranger Things, which catapulted her to fame. During the interview, the actress noted how the Stranger Things role has been "super influential" for her, not "just as a person, but also as an actor." She added, "Eleven really shaped me into a woman, and she really shaped me into the kind of actor I want to be."

Sadie Sink also marked her return as Max Mayfield who roughly survived the previous season. Agyle, Eduardo Franco's portrayal of Jonathan's stoner pal from California, is one beloved character that sadly won't be returning. To the anger of the fan base, the actor disclosed in January that he "never got a phone call" regarding returning for the last season.
Future of Netflix series Stranger Things
While Stranger Things comes to an end, an assortment of projects that will extend the Netflix franchise's lifespan for several years is currently under development. The live-action spinoff series, Stranger Things: Tokyo, an anime series, and an animated series modeled after '80s and '90s Saturday morning cartoons are all under development by the show's creators, Jim and Ross Duffer. When the latter was revealed, the Duffer brothers talked about how they had "always dreamed of an animated Stranger Things in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see this dream realized has been absolutely thrilling."
In conclusion, Netflix offers a streaming version of Stranger Things' first four seasons. Eight episodes make up the fifth and final season, which is scheduled to much-awaited debut in 2025.
Meanwhile, speaking of Brown, after her breakout performance on Stranger Things, she starred as Madison Russell in Godzilla: King of Monsters, her first feature film appearance. She then returned to the role in Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021. In addition, the actress plays the title role of the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix series Enola Holmes.
