Published 04/30/2024, 2:12 AM EDT

Millie Bobby Brown's name will forever be synonymous with Eleven- a young girl who faced endless trials and tribulations in her early years. In Stranger Things, Brown consistently showed why she is one of the standout stars of the up-and-coming generation. She was just 11 years old when she started her journey as Eleven on the show, and her talent was clear from the get-go. But alas, all good things come to an end, and her time on Stranger Things is winding down as well.

The question, however, is whether she will stick around for the finale or exit the imaginary world of Hawkins before the showdown.

After seven years and four seasons, Stranger Things is preparing for its final curtain call, which will practically mark the end of an era. And Millie Bobby Brown is getting ready to bid farewell to the iconic series. However, even before the final season wrapped filming, reports surfaced that the actress took a hiatus from the set to visit Walt Disney World Resort. While it might seem like Brown's absence is causing a delay in the final season's making, it is important to note that Orlando is just a few hours away from Atlanta by car, where Stranger Things is being filmed.

Moreover, Brown may seem like the show's leading figure, but she is not required in every frame. During season four, she was not even needed on set for months at the start of filming. The season had three separate locations to juggle, and her storyline was confined to just one of them. Additionally, there is a possibility of a delay in the show, as hinted at by Maya Hawke recently, giving Brown some more breathing room. While the actress is definitely not departing the show halfway through, she is excited to unfold the next chapters of her career.

Last year, Millie Bobby Brown opened up about her aspiration to explore fresh artistic horizons in an exclusive chat with Glamour. She credited Stranger Things for equipping her with "the tools and the resources to be a better actor". However, she felt that the show's demanding shooting schedule kept her from exploring other facets of her acting career. As a result, after seven long years, she feels prepared to bid farewell with a heartfelt "Thank you, and goodbye."

During an interview with Women's Wear Daily before the actors' strike, the actress mentioned, "I think I'm ready". "It's like graduating high school, it's like a senior year”, the 20-year-old said. As the final season of Stranger Things draws near, Millie Bobby Brown stands ready to explore exciting new avenues in both her professional and personal life.
