Millie Bobby Brown's Shocking Revelation: The Ultimate Truth About Stranger Things' Spinoff Rumor!

Summary

Millie Bobby Brown's comments suggest that a Stranger Things spin-off centered around her character, Eleven, is unlikely to happen.

An Eleven spin-off would be detrimental to the fulfilling resolution of the main show's narrative and character development. Rather than pursuing an Eleven spin-off, the series should consider exploring spin-offs that delve deeper into the mythology and lore of the series. This could involve exploring the intricacies of the Upside Down or shining a spotlight on other superpowered individuals like Kali.

Mille Bobby Brown, the Stranger Things star, may have officially debunked a popular rumor about a spin-off of the hit Netflix show. Since 2016, Brown has portrayed the character Eleven/Jane on Stranger Things, which has gained international acclaim and become one of Netflix's most successful TV series. At just 12 years old, Brown received praise for her performance in the early seasons of the show.

In an interview with GLAMOUR, conducted after being honored as the magazine's global Woman of the Year, Brown discussed the upcoming fifth season of Stranger Things. As production resumes after the 2023 WGA strikes, Brown's remarks about the show's conclusion were straightforward and may have put an end to the speculation surrounding a potential spin-off.

Millie Bobby Brown's Stranger Things Goodbye All But Confirms An Eleven Spinoff Won't Happen

There have been ongoing rumors about a possible Stranger Things spin-off focusing on Brown's character, Eleven. The writer's room of Stranger Things even took to social media to address these rumors and clarify that the character will not be involved in any other stories, which aligns with Brown's own comments. When asked about her departure from Stranger Things by GLAMOUR, Brown expressed that filming the show consumes a significant amount of her time and hinders her from pursuing her own passion projects. She stated, "So I'm ready to express my gratitude and bid farewell... When Stranger Things eventually concludes, I will still have the opportunity to stay in touch with these individuals."

These remarks made by Brown strongly suggest that Stranger Things season 5 will mark the end of her time portraying Eleven. Brown's expressed eagerness to explore other projects that ignite her passions indicates her unlikelihood to take up another role within the Stranger Things universe. Despite the constant influx of rumors, reports, and discredited sources, it appears that the possibility of an Eleven-centric spin-off for Stranger Things has ultimately been laid to rest.

This apparent confirmation suggests that an Eleven spin-off is unlikely, which is undoubtedly a positive development. While Brown has done an exceptional job in the role and has been the face of the franchise since its inception in 2016, it is undeniable that a spin-off focusing on her character would not be a wise decision. One reason is that many contemporary franchises have struggled with creating satisfying conclusions. Often, long-running shows find it challenging to provide a fulfilling ending for their characters or storylines, something that hopefully Stranger Things will not encounter.

That being said, creating a spin-off for one of Stranger Things' main characters after season 5 would lead to the same problems the show has encountered. The fifth season of Stranger Things must give each character a conclusive ending in order for the show to conclude on a satisfying note.

In a similar vein, it would be challenging to justify an Eleven spin-off. Despite the significant roles of characters like Will, Hopper, and fan-favorites such as Steve, Eleven is the central figure and emotional core of Stranger Things. Leaving her storyline unresolved after the show's conclusion would not make sense and would result in a lack of satisfaction in the main storyline. Ultimately, any potential spin-off should explore a completely different time period or group of characters, allowing the beloved cast of Stranger Things to have well-rounded conclusions.

What Stranger Things Spinoffs Could & Should Actually Happen

While an Eleven spin-off is not currently being considered, there are potential ideas for Stranger Things-related stories. Stranger Things 4 expanded the series' lore and mythology significantly with the introduction of Vecna and his origin story. This paves the way for further exploration of the mysterious Upside Down world. Additionally, Stranger Things has already laid the groundwork for a spin-off.

In Stranger Things season 2, Eleven ventured outside of Hawkins to meet Kali, also known as Eight. Kali was essentially Eleven's sister and had also undergone experiments by Dr. Brenner. Although the writers have not confirmed it, it is evident that the episode "The Lost Sister" from Stranger Things season 2 was intended to initiate a spin-off centered around other superpowered individuals in the universe. However, due to mixed reactions to the episode, Kali's storyline was completely abandoned.

Despite the backlash towards Kali's episode, this presents a prime chance for an exceptional Stranger Things spin-off. Ignoring the negative response solely would be odd when it comes to wrapping up Kali's narrative. Instead, the writers should forge ahead with their original vision, creating a spin-off that not only provides a gratifying resolution to the main story but also adds to the show's lore, mythology, and enigmas.
