Brown Alleged Harassment; Both Returned for Season 5

Multiple outlets report Millie Bobby Brown (21) filed a harassment and bullying complaint against her Stranger Things co‑star David Harbour (50) before filming the show's fifth and final season, alleging “pages and pages” of accusations and prompting a months‑long internal Netflix inquiry. Reports say the complaint did not allege sexual misconduct; the outcome of the probe has not been disclosed, and Netflix and representatives for the actors have not publicly commented. Brown was reportedly accompanied on set by a personal representative while the investigation was underway. Despite the complaint, Harbour remained on the production and both actors returned for the final season. Harbour’s earlier comments about feeling “protective” and “fatherly” toward Brown have resurfaced amid renewed media attention following his split from singer Lily Allen and allegations of infidelity in her new album. Netflix has scheduled Stranger Things 5 to be released in staggered parts from late November through New Year’s and says it intends the show’s conclusion to remain the focus.
