Stranger Things Family Stands United Amid Unfounded Rumours
The stars of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour, were recently seen smiling together at a promotional event, presenting a united front just days after controversial reports surfaced. A story in UK publications had claimed that Brown, who portrays Eleven in the sci-fi phenomenon, had filed bullying and harassment allegations against her co-star Harbour, who plays her on-screen adoptive father, Jim Hopper.
Creators and Director Dismiss the Allegations
In a strong rebuttal to these claims, the show's leadership has come forward to support their cast. Co-creator Ross Duffer, who developed the series with his brother Matt, addressed the situation in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. While he refrained from delving into personal on-set matters, he emphasized the deep bonds formed over a decade of collaboration.
"Obviously, you understand I can't get into personal onset matters, but I will say we've been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they're family and we deeply care about them," Duffer stated. "So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy."
A Foundation of Respect and Safety on Set
Echoing this sentiment, director and executive producer Shawn Levy reinforced the production's commitment to a positive and secure working environment. He clarified that creating a respectful workplace where every individual feels comfortable is a fundamental priority for the team.
"At the end of the day, that's the job. You have to create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe, and so we did everything to build that environment. And we're proud of the fact that we did so," Levy explained. He further characterized the circulating stories as "wildly inaccurate" noise, affirming that the cast and crew operate like a family built on mutual respect, which has been a bedrock principle from the start.
As of now, neither Netflix nor the representatives for Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour have issued any official comment on the controversy.
Final Season Release Schedule Confirmed
Amidst the off-screen chatter, fans have exciting news to look forward to. The highly anticipated final season of Stranger Things will be released in three distinct parts. The rollout is as follows:
- Part 1: The first four episodes premiere on November 26.
- Part 2: The subsequent episodes will be released on December 25.
