Stranger Things has been a global sensation since its debut in 2016, with Millie Bobby Brown becoming one of its most recognizable faces, thanks to her role as Eleven. As fans eagerly anticipate the show’s final season, many were surprised to learn that Millie skipped the wrap-up party.
Why did she decide to miss the wrap-up party? Let’s find out.
In May 2023, Millie married Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi. Their love story unfolded like a whirlwind, leading to a surprise wedding followed by a grand celebration in Italy.
Instead of attending the Stranger Things wrap party, Millie chose to spend Thanksgiving with Jake and his family. Sources close to the actress revealed that she’s been focusing on balancing her personal life with her busy career. This holiday season, she decided to prioritize family time over work-related events.
Millie’s role as Eleven
Millie’s portrayal of Eleven has been the heart and soul of Stranger Things. As a young girl with telekinetic powers, Eleven’s journey was not just about saving Hawkins but also about growing as a person.
From fighting the Demogorgon in the first season to facing the terrifying Vecna in later ones, Eleven’s character has been central to the series’ emotional depth. Millie’s ability to show both vulnerability and strength made her performance unforgettable, earning her recognition as one of the most talented young actors in the industry.
Season 4 recap
Season 4 of Stranger Things begins with a flashback to before season one, where Dr. Brenner finds a young, bloodied Eleven after a massacre at Hawkins Lab. Fast forward to 1986, the Byers family and Eleven have moved to California after the events at Starcourt Mall. Hopper is thought to be dead, and Eleven has lost her powers.
The season kicks off with a brutal murder: cheerleader Chrissy is killed by a creature from the Upside Down, and Eddie becomes the prime suspect. Dustin, Max, Steve, and Robin team up to find Eddie and uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Nancy and Fred investigate a link to a man named Victor Creel, whose past is connected to a terrifying entity, Vecna. Fred becomes another victim of Vecna's curse.
Joyce receives a strange doll, believing it means Hopper is still alive. She teams up with Murray to search for him in Alaska. Back in Hawkins, Eleven begins to regain her powers by confronting Dr. Brenner, while Max becomes the next target of Vecna.
As the kids discover more about Vecna's origins and his connection to 001, they devise a plan to save Max using her favorite song, "Running Up That Hill," to protect her. Eddie sacrifices himself heroically to distract the demobats. Meanwhile, Joyce and Murray rescue Hopper from a Russian prison.
The season culminates in a final showdown where Eleven confronts Vecna and defeats him, but Max is severely injured, falling into a coma. The kids are reunited, but Will senses that Vecna's presence still lingers, hinting that the battle is not over.
Stranger Things Season 5
Stranger Things season 5 is expected to follow the kids from Hawkins as they battle Vecna once and for all, now that the Upside Down has fully invaded their town. While Netflix hasn't revealed the official plot yet, the season will likely focus on how the group works together to stop the monstrous threat that looms over them.
Given the events of season 4, where Vecna was defeated but not completely vanquished, the battle between the real world and the Upside Down is far from over.
The Duffer brothers have teased that the final season will be emotional, with Ross Duffer sharing in an interview that some Netflix executives even teared up when they learned about the plans for season 5. Fans can expect a dramatic and intense conclusion to the series.
Trending
As for the release details, Netflix has yet to announce the official date for season 5. However, rumors suggest that the release date might be revealed during Christmas 2024, with some speculating it could be announced during one of Netflix's NFL games on Christmas Day.
This could be a strategic move, as Netflix often drops big announcements during high-traffic moments like holiday sporting events. Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the release, which will mark the beginning of the end of this beloved series.
