Where's Eleven? 'Stranger Things 5' teases major plot twist
What's the story
Netflix dropped a chilling clue about Millie Bobby Brown's fate in the upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger Things on Thursday.
The streaming giant shared a missing person's poster on its official Instagram account featuring Jane "Eleven" Hopper with a blank expression.
The poster reveals that she was last seen near Hawkins High School on June 13, 1986, wearing a hooded jacket.
Where could she have possibly gone?
Reward details
Reward offered for information on Eleven's whereabouts
The missing person's poster also mentions a reward of $3,000 for any leads that result in finding Hopper or her body.
This intriguing clue comes just a few months after the fourth season's setting in March 1986.
Adding to the mystery, Netflix had previously confirmed that Season 5 would take place in the fall of 1987, a year after Hopper's disappearance as indicated on the poster.
