Millie Bobby Brown Might Lead One Of Netflix’s Potential ‘Stranger Things’ Spinoffs

It’s not controversial to say “Stranger Things” is one of the most popular TV series currently being produced, streaming or otherwise. And it’s also not a hot take to say Millie Bobby Brown is one of the most popular young actors working today. So, is it really all that surprising that Netflix is looking to expand the “Stranger Things” universe by focusing a new series on Millie Bobby Brown’s character?

Speaking at a recent Code Conference (via Deadline), Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos hinted that there is likely going to be an expansion of the “Stranger Things” franchise in the future, with possible spinoffs coming down the line. And yes, one of the is likely going to feature Brown.

“Franchises are good, but what you want are hits,” Sarandos said, calling “Stranger Things” is “a franchise being born.” While he didn’t go into much detail, the Netflix executive hinted at potential “spinoffs” of the massively popular supernatural series. And according to Deadline, it appears that Millie Bobby Brown, who recently signed her own Netflix deal, could lead one of those spinoffs, reprising her role as Eleven from the series.

Obviously, it’s unclear what a spinoff of “Stranger Things” might look like. We’d have to see how the status quo of the series changes after the upcoming fourth season of the series. However, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Netflix want to expand the universe with a series focused on Brown’s character, as she is clearly the biggest breakout star in the cast.

As for other spinoffs, the sky really is the limit, right? Over the course of three seasons, “Stranger Things” has already proven itself to be a show that is willing to do some serious worldbuilding, introducing more and more characters and even an international story. The story is ripe for prequels and sequels, and honestly, judging by how popular the series is and how slowly new seasons get produced, Netflix would be insane not to explore the idea of spinoffs in some fashion.

“Stranger Things 4” doesn’t have an official release date, but the series is expected to debut on Netflix in early 2022.
