As Stranger Things prepares for its final season, Millie Bobby Brown shares her excitement for the new opportunities she will now have time for. In recent interviews, Brown has discussed her desire to pursue other stories she’s passionate about.

With passionate projects and upcoming films, Brown has a lot to look forward to following Stranger Things close.
