Millie Bobby Brown may have played the role of a savvy young detective in Enola Holmes, but she proves those skills extend far beyond the screen.
The actress recently said she found out about the ending of Stranger Things before everyone else in the cast, and she didn’t learn it the “official” way.
During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon On December 7, Millie explained that before the final season table read, everyone had no idea 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 reading, we didn’t know what was going to happen – no one knew. In fact, I knew.”
How did she succeed? Millie joked that she likes to “blackmail directors”, before revealing her secret mission. She quietly slipped into the writers’ room and spotted a huge whiteboard filled with all the major plot details for the big finale.
“I snuck into the writers’ room and saw this really big whiteboard with all the endings on it,” she explained. “And I was like, ‘Ahh, there’s so much to process!'”
But once it was time to sit down with the full scenario, emotions ran high.
The actors ditched the usual table setup, which immediately set a more personal and overwhelming tone.
“We didn’t sit at a table,” Millie remembers. “We sat on couches and cried for almost two hours straight.”
As Netflix’s beloved sci-fi series heads toward its final chapter, fans can expect a powerful and emotional farewell, and clearly, the cast felt every moment of it, long before the cameras even rolled.
