Netflix Orders Spy Thriller With Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour 5 Months After Stranger Things Ended

3 articles · Updated · Variety · Jun 26

Netflix gave a straight-to-series order to an untitled A24 spy thriller starring and executive produced by Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour, reuniting the "Stranger Things" pair.
Jack Thorne created the series, which follows disgraced ex-FBI agent Matt Wolfe returning to the field after his estranged daughter Rebecca—now an FBI agent—vanishes on a mission.
Brown said the project was "concrete" and "sooner than expected," while Harbour had already teased more collaborations after their 5-season run together ended on Dec. 31, 2025.
The order also extends Netflix's ties with Thorne, who worked on "Adolescence," "Lord of the Flies" and the "Enola Holmes" films that star Brown.
