After a three-year wait, Stranger Things Season 5 is now available to stream\u00a0on Netflix. This time, the many twists and turns of the show aren’t the only talking points regarding the project. Another matter\u00a0that’s been closely watched by fans is the allegations against David Harbour. In early November, a Daily Mail report<\/a> alleged Millie Bobby Brown had submitted a complaint against the Jim Hopper actor for bullying and harassment (no sexual impropriety was claimed).\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the show’s premiere, however, the two actors were remarkably friendly<\/a> with each other, laughing\u00a0and posing for pictures together. During the event, both Brown and Harbour spoke highly of their mutual relationship. Now, the actress\u00a0has assured she felt “safe” filming with the Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0actor. Speaking to\u00a0Deadline<\/a>\u2014posted on the trade’s TikTok account\u2014the Enola Holmes actress\u00a0was asked if she felt safe shooting with her co-star:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, of course I felt safe. I mean, we’ve worked together for 10 years. I feel safe with everyone on that set. You naturally just…\u00a0you know,\u00a0you’ve been doing it for so long…\u00a0And we also play father and daughter, so naturally you have a closer bond than the rest, because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in Season 2.”<\/p>\n

Brown then\u00a0stated\u00a0she and Harbour had a “great relationship” and opened up about her hopes for fans to enjoy the conclusion to Hopper and Eleven’s storyline:\u00a0“[David] and I have a great relationship. We work really closely together in the scenes, and in preparing for the scenes. And I really am excited for everyone to see the labor of love\u00a0and hard work we’ve put into the closure of our relationship, and what that looks like;\u00a0and to give some of the fans\u2014especially the Hopper\u00a0and Eleven fans\u2014that kind of… those\u00a0scenes that I [feel]\u00a0are\u00a0going to be quite impactful.”<\/p>\n

The Electric State star\u00a0also\u00a0said she felt pushed to give her best performance on the days she would work with Harbour: “It makes me want to bring my A-game, every single time I see that I’m on the call sheet working with him, because I know he’s bringing it right back, so it’s pretty… Yeah, [sometimes],\u00a0it’s a wake-up call.”<\/p>\n

Recently, the actress also addressed why she had been so friendly with Harbour during the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere. The Hollywood Reporter asked Brown<\/a> why it had been important for her to present such a big display of admiration for Harbour at the event. She\u00a0responded:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years. I mean, we have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.”<\/p>\n

Shortly after the allegations regarding Harbour surfaced, Variety<\/a> reported that an investigation into the actor\u00a0had taken place, but that it\u00a0had been resolved. Per the site, showing Brown and Harbour being so friendly with\u00a0each other at the premiere was likely a deliberate\u00a0move to show a united front for audiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to know how much (if at all) said display helped. Ultimately, it doesn’t appear the allegations against Harbour derailed the show’s release or public excitement around it. On its premiere date, Netflix crashed twice<\/a> in one day, seemingly from a large number of\u00a0users\u00a0logging into the service to watch the new season. The uproar of the outage was such, that the streamer even released a statement to assure the crash had only lasted five minutes:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Some members briefly experienced an issue streaming on TV devices, but service recovered for all accounts within five minutes.”<\/p>\n

Part 1 of Stranger Things Season 5 is streaming on Netflix. Part 2 will be released on December 25, and the show’s final episode will come out on December 31, 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n
