The Duffer Brothers only shared whether Eleven lived or died with Millie, meaning her co-stars are none the wiser.<\/p>\n
During the podcast appearance, they texted her to remind her not to let on to her cast mate Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), and she text back: \u201cOf course not.\u201d<\/p>\n
The creators left the door open for viewers to decide whether they believe Mike Wheeler\u2019s (Finn Wolfhard) version of events.<\/p>\n
Duffer also told The Hollywood Reporter: \u201cThe characters can\u2019t know and the audience can\u2019t know because then it puts Eleven in danger and her sacrifice was for nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there\u2019s a point in not knowing. The boys obviously choose to believe. I\u2019m not sure what the majority of people are thinking, but dipping my toes a little bit into social media, it seems like people are choosing to believe and are going to the Mike Wheeler route.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ross wanted viewers to believe in the \u201chappier ending\u201d \u2013 regardless of whether it was true or not.<\/p>\n
He told Netflix\u2019s Tudum: \u201cShe represents magic in a lot of ways and the magic of childhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor our characters to move on and for the story of Hawkins and the Upside Down to come to a close, Eleven had to go away. We thought it would be beautiful if our characters continued to believe in that happier ending even if we didn\u2019t give them a clear answer to whether that\u2019s true or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that they\u2019re believing in it, we just thought it was such a better way to end the story and a better way to represent the closure of this journey and their journey from children to adults.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Duffer Brothers only shared whether Eleven lived or died with Millie, meaning her co-stars are none the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1558,47187,6256,10703,26250,131585,36302,156,17150,6451,12777,111,139,69,1523,21501,131586,24002,72394,6035],"class_list":["post-217889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-been","tag-bobby","tag-brown","tag-characters","tag-creators","tag-elevens","tag-ending","tag-entertainment","tag-fate","tag-knew","tag-millie","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-over","tag-reveal","tag-secrecy","tag-stranger","tag-sworn","tag-things"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
