\n\tNetflix<\/a> is bringing two of the stars of Stranger Things back together for a new series.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe streamer has given a straight-to-series pickup for a spy drama that will star Millie Bobby Brown<\/a> and David Harbour<\/a>. The currently untitled show comes from A24<\/a> and creator Jack Thorne<\/a> (Adolescence, Enola Holmes).<\/p>\n

\n\tHarbour will play Matt Wolfe, a disgraced former FBI agent turned security consultant. He\u2019s drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (Brown) \u2014 now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps \u2014 vanishes on a mission, forcing him to return to a field that has evolved beyond him.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we\u2019ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,\u201d\u00a0says Jinny Howe, Netflix\u2019s head of scripted series for the U.S. and Canada. \u201cJack Thorne\u2019s ability to find the deeply human story inside a thriller is unmatched, and watching Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunite \u2014 this time as estranged father and daughter on opposite sides of a crisis \u2014 is something audiences are going to love. A24 is the perfect partner to bring this story to our members around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThorne, Harbour and Brown will executive produce the series with Jake Bongiovi and Robert Brown for PCMA Productions, Joe Hipps and Patrick McDonald for Cut To (which is based at A24) and KC Wenson for Bravo Axolotl.<\/p>\n

\n\tHarbour and Brown\u2019s onscreen reunion comes six months after Stranger Things bowed out as Netflix\u2019s biggest original series ever. Harbour was the subject of a 2025 story in the U.K. tabloid the Daily Mail that claimed Brown had filed bullying and harassment claims against him. Harbour said the \u201cfalse\u201d story caused him to have a breakdown. \u201cI don\u2019t know if people have families and friends that you spend a lot of time with for 10 years \u2014 you occasionally get in arguments, disagreements,\u201d he told Variety<\/a>. \u201cIn families, it\u2019s OK because you\u2019re just in a disagreement, and then you come back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown also said in a statement that over the course of Stranger Things\u2018 five seasons (which spanned almost a decade) \u201cour relationship became much more collaborative creatively\u201d and that she had \u201ca lot of gratitude\u201d about their time on the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix is bringing two of the stars of Stranger Things back together for a new series.
