Millie Bobby Brown may have played a sharp young detective in Enola Holmes, but she proves those skills extend far beyond the screen.
The actress recently shared that she found out the ending of Stranger Things before everyone else in the cast, and she didn’t learn it the “official” way.
During her performance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 7, Millie explained that prior to the final season’s table reading, everyone was unaware of what the finale would look like. Well…almost everyone.
“I didn’t really know how I was going to react,” she said, recalling that moment of anticipation.
“And then the night before the final table read, we didn’t know what was going to happen — nobody knew. I actually did.”
How did she do it? Millie joked that she enjoys “blackmailing the directors” before revealing her secret mission, slipping quietly into the writers’ room and spotting a massive whiteboard filled with all the important plot details for the grand finale.
“I snuck into the writers’ room and I saw this really big board with all the endings on it,” she shared. “And I thought, ‘Ahh, so much to process!'”
But when it came time to actually sit down with the full script, emotions ran high.
The actors ditched the usual table setting, something that immediately set a more personal and overwhelming tone.
“We weren’t sitting at a table,” Millie recalled. “We sat on sofas and we cried for basically two hours straight.”
With the beloved Netflix sci-fi series heading into its final chapter, fans can expect a powerful and emotional send-off, and it’s clear the cast felt it all long before the cameras even rolled.
