UPDATE: In a dramatic turn of events, Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunited during the ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Premiere on November 5, 2025, amid swirling rumors of a rift. The co-stars were spotted embracing on the red carpet, dispelling speculation regarding their off-screen relationship.
Just days before the premiere, reports emerged that Harbour would skip the event due to allegations stemming from his estranged wife, Lily Allen, as well as bullying claims made by Brown. The rumors escalated following accusations that Brown filed a harassment report against her on-screen father, Harbour, leading to widespread concerns about a toxic environment on set.
Fans eagerly awaited the livestream of the premiere, hosted by Netflix, as the series prepares to launch its final season in two parts. Volume 1 will be available on November 26, with Volume 2 scheduled for December 25. The series finale is set to air on December 31, promising a gripping conclusion to the globally celebrated show.
Despite the ongoing allegations, the public display of affection between Brown and Harbour suggests that their professional relationship remains intact. Netflix and the series creators, The Duffer Brothers, have refrained from commenting on the situation, leaving fans and media to speculate about the dynamics between the stars.
Brown, who portrays Eleven, and Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, have both been tight-lipped regarding the allegations. Harbour’s recent absence from press tours has fueled further speculation about his off-screen challenges. The actor is also involved in other projects, including ‘Violent Night 2’, as he navigates his public separation from Allen.
The ‘Stranger Things’ franchise has had an unprecedented cultural impact since its debut in 2016, blending nostalgia with horror in a way that resonates with audiences worldwide. The series not only features iconic ’80s actors like Winona Ryder and Sean Astin but has also revived classic tracks like Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” further cementing its place in pop culture.
The final season promises to deliver high-stakes drama and emotional moments, and Brown’s and Harbour’s red carpet reunion may hint at a resolution behind the scenes. As fans count down to the premiere, all eyes will be on how the ongoing narrative unfolds both on and off-screen.
