Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour to reunite for new Netflix show following bullying allegations
Just when you thought you’d finally got over the end of Stranger Things, we’re getting more of the cast being back together.
Millie Bobby Brown recently opened up about making ‘amends’ with her cast mates and was seen reuniting with Noah Schnapp at the Enola Holmes 3 premiere.
But in a move that has surprised some fans, she’s now set to appear on screen alongside David Harbour again as the pair are cast in a new Netflix series.
This announcement comes after claims that Brown had filed an extensive ‘harassment and bullying’ complaint against the actor prior to filming the final season of Stranger Things. No specific allegations were ever made and the actors shut the claims down with Harbour recently calling it a ‘simple rupture-and-repair thing’.

New Netflix series
Announced earlier today (26 June), Brown and Harbour will reunite as dad and daughter in a ‘thrilling new drama’ from A24.
The currently unnamed show will be written and executive produced by Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne. The two stars will also executive produce, with Brown’s husband, Jake Bongiovi, also joining a list of others to executive produce for PCMA Productions.
The series follows disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe (Harbour) who is ‘drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (Brown) — now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps — vanishes on a mission, forcing him to return to a field that has evolved beyond him’.
“We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,” says Jinny Howe, Netflix head of scripted series, US and Canada.
“Jack Thorne’s ability to find the deeply human story inside a thriller is unmatched, and watching Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunite — this time as estranged father and daughter on opposite sides of a crisis — is something audiences are going to love. A24 is the perfect partner to bring this story to our members around the world.”

Reports had gone viral in the build-up to the first drop of Season 5 of Stranger Things back in November, as it was alleged that the Eleven actor had made accusations against her co-star.
The pair had starred in the hit Netflix show since it first began in 2016.
Discussing the previous allegations in a cover story for Variety, Harbour recently said: “It’s simple. It was just a simple rupture-and-repair thing that, once we cleared everybody out of the way and talked to each other, we’re fine.”
The actor added that it’s normal to have occasional ‘arguments’ and ‘disagreements’ with people that ‘you spend a lot of time with’.
Brown also confirmed to the publication that there was no issue between the two actors.
“Over time, our relationship became much more collaborative creatively,” she said. “When you work with someone for that many years, we could really push each other emotionally in scenes. Even though the series has ended, there’s still a lot of gratitude.”
