Netflix blocks Millie from watching 'Stranger Things 5' early!
What's the story
Millie Bobby Brown, the star of Netflix's hit show Stranger Things, has revealed that she and her fellow cast members aren't allowed to watch episodes before their public release.
The policy has been in place throughout the show's run and will continue into its fifth and final season.
"We haven't done that for 10 years. I don't think they're going to start on the last season," she told Variety at a recent film premiere.
Actor's role
Brown's journey and impact on 'Stranger Things'
Brown has been an integral part of Stranger Things since the beginning, portraying the nuanced character of Eleven/Jane Hopper.
Her role as a teen with telepathic and psychokinetic powers, honed from being a test subject at Hawkins National Laboratory has earned her multiple Emmy nominations and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
Despite the difficulties of growing up on set, Brown has been thankful for the opportunities the show has given her.
Emotional farewell
Brown's mixed feelings toward 'Stranger Things's final season
Brown has also publicly shared her mixed emotions about the upcoming final season of Stranger Things.
She was both relieved and sad over the show's conclusion, reading a touching goodbye letter to the cast and crew as filming wrapped last December.
Nevertheless, she hinted at an "unbelievable" final season and insisted that Stranger Things would always hold a special place in her heart.
Season details
'Stranger Things' S05 to feature biggest time jump
The fifth season of Stranger Things will make history with the biggest time jump ever on the show. It will also have some of its lengthiest durations.
The final season will see Brown reprise her role along with Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Caleb McLaughlin.
Stranger Things's fourth season was Netflix's most-watched English-language show until Wednesday beat it.
