Millie Bobby Brown Lines Up Four Major Projects Post-Stranger Things
The actress has secured roles in Enola Holmes 3, a gymnastics biopic, a romantic comedy, and a supernatural Netflix series as she moves beyond her breakout role.
Millie Bobby Brown's career shows no signs of slowing down after wrapping her iconic role in Stranger Things. The actress has locked in four significant projects that showcase her range across different genres.
Detective Work and Olympic Dreams
Brown returns as the sharp-witted detective in Enola Holmes 3, this time tackling her most dangerous case yet in Malta. Philip Barantini takes over directing duties, with Henry Cavill, Louis Partridge, and Helena Bonham Carter reprising their roles. The third installment promises to push the character into more complex territory.
Perfect tells the story of gymnast Kerri Strug's determination to compete in the 1996 Olympics despite a serious injury. Brown will portray Strug under Gia Coppola's direction. The biographical drama focuses on the athlete's struggle to overcome physical limitations for Olympic gold.
Romance and Supernatural Elements
Just Picture It marks Brown's first romantic comedy, pairing her with Gabriel LaBelle. The Netflix film follows two college students whose phones mysteriously display images from their future as a married couple with children. Lee Toland Krieger directs the time-bending romance, with Idina Menzel and Margo Martindale in supporting roles.
Prism represents Brown's most ambitious project yet. The supernatural Netflix series casts her as Cassie, a woman who communicates with ghosts during a worldwide phenomenon where spirits begin appearing everywhere. Brown also serves as executive producer on the show, expected to debut in 2026 or later.
Mixed Fan Reactions
Social media responses to Brown's upcoming slate vary widely. Some fans praise the diversity of genres, from mystery to biopic to supernatural thriller. Others express skepticism following the divisive Stranger Things finale.
The final season of the Netflix hit series drew criticism for its pacing, writing quality, and emotional payoff. Eleven's ambiguous fate after seemingly sacrificing herself to destroy the Upside Down left many viewers unsatisfied. The finale's length and sentimental tone failed to match earlier seasons' impact.
Two additional Brown projects, The Girls I've Been and The Thing About Jellyfish, remain in development limbo without recent updates. Fans shouldn't expect movement on either title soon.
