Millie Bobby Brown & David Harbour Reunite at ‘Stranger Things 5’ Premiere Amid Harassment Allegations

Fans were met with an unexpected moment of unity at the Los Angeles premiere of Stranger Things 5, where Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour arrived together, sharing smiles, laughs, and a warm embrace. The reunion quickly went viral, especially as it followed intense media scrutiny surrounding reports of a workplace harassment complaint allegedly filed by Brown before production.

Brown, 21, and Harbour, 50—who portray the beloved Eleven and Jim Hopper—walked the red carpet greeting fans side by side. Their chemistry appeared unchanged as they posed for photos, with Netflix later posting a clip captioned, “David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrive together for one last Stranger Things premiere.”

Their appearance marked the first time the pair were seen together publicly since a report claimed Brown had submitted a workplace complaint accusing Harbour of harassment and bullying. The publication alleged the document included extensive details and that Netflix conducted a months-long internal inquiry. No official statements have been released by Netflix or representatives for either actor, leaving much of the narrative unconfirmed.

Reports also suggested that Brown, who married Jake Bongiovi earlier this year, had additional support on set. According to sources, a representative accompanied her during filming as a precaution while production continued.

Despite the rumours, Brown and Harbour presented a united front. Their bond dates back to 2015, when they first worked together during the show’s early development. Harbour once spoke about meeting Brown as a child actor, recalling their early connection during a 2016 podcast interview: “Millie and I have always had a special relationship because I knew her when she was so young. I knew her before the big fame hit.”

Brown has also shared that their off-screen dynamic often contributed to emotional scenes between their characters. Speaking at a panel in 2018, she compared their relationship to that of a “father and daughter,” explaining that their emotional range—anger, affection, conflict—was genuine and often mirrored in their performances.

The red carpet reunion brought reassurance to fans who have followed the pair’s onscreen evolution for nearly a decade. As the final season approaches, the show’s emotional weight is heightened by both its legacy and the speculation surrounding its cast.

Stranger Things 5: Volume 1 will debut on November 26, 2025, followed by Volume 2 on Christmas Day, marking the culmination of one of Netflix’s most influential series.

Their appearance together served as a reminder of the show's cultural impact and the enduring connection between its leading stars, even amidst controversy.
