Millie Bobby Brown is the main character of one of Netflix’s most popular originals, Stranger Things which has helped Netflix remain at the top of its game. The actress further stepped into the streamer’s good graces with Enola Holmes.

Ever since fans first a glimpse of a determined Millie Bobby Brown in a medieval costume, fans knew they were in for a ride. Except now, the ride might take longer than expected.

Damsel is in distress as Netflix faces the consequences of the SAG-AFTRA strike

The city of stars is now very visible and within reach, as thousands of celebrities join the picket lines as a part of the SAG-AFTRA strikes. As one would suspect, there are layers to why all their favorite celebrities have decided to push off their multi-million dollar projects. But what can be said for sure is that streamers will no longer get the longer end of the stick. While its direct effect on television was anticipated with how Netflix is delaying the anticipated project of its fan-titled “baby“, Millie Bobby Brown, the consequences seem to be getting dire, even for streamers.

The movie was earlier set to release on the 13th of October, but according to What’s On Netflix, Damsel‘s release date might get pushed to 2024.

Millie Bobby Brown’s project is among the six titles that Netflix is delaying. For now. Given the plot of Damsel, the delay is quite ironic.

What is the plot of the Millie Bobby Brown Netflix starrer, Damsel?

Taking note of the overwhelming appreciation that Millie Bobby Brown’s performance as the fearless feminist Enola Holmes garnered, Netflix planned another project. Although a stark contrast from the busy streets of London, Damsel is set in a much earlier time period. It follows Elodie as she embarks on what she thinks is her journey to a happy ending. But she could not be further away from the truth. Or danger.

Upon reaching the castle that promised her a respected position, she realizes that she was nothing but a sacrifice. Netflix plans to reinvent the age-old trope of a damsel in distress by making Millie Bobby Brown save herself. Except now by not adhering to the SAG-AFTRA’s conditions, the streamer is the one putting Millie Bobby Brown’s Damsel in distress.
