Netflix’s popular sci-fi drama Stranger Things season 4 is on its way. Recently, the makers of the show revealed that season 4 will not be the last which means Stranger Things season 5 will surely happen. But it seems like Stranger Things season 5 will take a surprise turn for Millie Bobby Brown. Find out how?
The epic 77-minute finale of the third season of Stranger Things, “The Battle of Starcourt,” left some insanely important questions unanswered. The third season aired on July 4, 2019, and the fourth season was announced in September 2019. Unfortunately, the much anticipated season for Netflix’s successful show Stranger Things got delayed due to this pandemic.
Finn Wolfhard who plays Mike in Stranger Things stated that the shooting delays were extremely frustrating because they were “ahead of schedule.” Sadly there still hasn’t been any official announcement regarding the release date of season 4 of Stranger Things, it might even be that we don’t get a release this year too. However, the story might take a surprising turn in season 5 because of Millie Bobby Brown’s growing popularity.
Millie Bobby Brown’s Rise To Success
With Godzilla vs. Kong and season 4 of Stranger Things coming out, Millie Bobby Brown is already way high up in Hollywood and that is even without mentioning the long list of other projects that she’s involved in. The Girls I’ve Been, Damsel, The Electric State, The Thing About Jellyfish, Enola Holmes are some of the projects which have her confirmed involvement. With this astonishing success, the 16-year-old actress has definitely raised her standards as suggested by the latest intel offers that Millie Bobby Brown wants more money than her adult co-stars for the fifth run of Stranger Things.
Richtman previously claimed that season 4 would make her the highest-paid child actor in the industry, which she already was at that point having pocketed $350,000 per episode for the third batch of episodes. In addition to that, her salary is already equal to that of Winona Ryder, who plays Joyce Byers, and David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper in the series. If Netflix were to pay her a single cent more, then she’d be out-earning her more experienced co-stars.
Why Stranger Things Season 5 Can’t Afford Millie Bobby Brown?
There is no argument that the young actress is already quite successful and with more success to come guaranteed, however, her demands for more salary for the fifth season of Stranger Things can lead to some heartbreaking possibilities. It is highly unlikely that Netflix would be able to keep up with the actress’s demands, so as for the fifth season there are two things that can be expected. Either the story would progress in such a way that would put an end to her character, Eleven, in the near future of the show, or Netflix would be forced to recast her character with an affordable artist to take up her role.
Although pursuing the second option might result in great hatred from the fans due to Millie’s great fanbase. The future is uncertain and there’s no guarantee of what might happen, in any case, the result would not be very pleasant for the fans.
