The recent premiere of the final episode of the blockbuster Stranger Things season 5 in New York was missing one crucial face: "Eleven" Millie Bobby Brown. This news caused considerable concern among fans about the young actress's health right before the highly anticipated finale of the hit series aired.
Millie Bobby Brown's Unexpected Injury
While her co-stars like Noah Schnapp and the main cast gathered at the Paris Theater in New York on December 26 to watch the final episode, Millie Bobby Brown was forced to stay home. According to sources from People, the 21-year-old actress dislocated her shoulder after an unfortunate fall.
This injury appears to be more serious than anticipated, as it caused her to cancel a series of important engagements. Previously, on December 15, she missed an appearance on Good Morning America. In a video message to fans, Millie appeared with her right arm in a sling, confirming she couldn't travel to ensure her recovery process.
Challenges Before Stranger Things Season 5
Millie Bobby Brown's promotional journey for Stranger Things season 5 has been far from smooth. In addition to health issues, she also had to deal with unfounded rumors. In early November, social media was abuzz with news that Millie accused co-star David Harbour (who plays Jim Hopper) of harassment on set. However, the young star quickly spoke out to deny this, affirming that the relationship between the actors was still good.
Regarding the series itself, season 5 is receiving mixed reviews. While critics have been favorable, with an 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience has been more critical. Viewer scores have significantly declined after controversies in the mid-season episodes.
Eleven and the Most Anticipated Ending on Netflix
Despite not being able to attend the early screening in person, Millie Bobby Brown still watched the final episode with her co-stars via a private secure link. This demonstrates the strong bond of the Stranger Things "family" after nearly a decade together.
The appeal of the final episode remains undiminished. With over 1.1 million advance tickets sold and thousands of sold-out screenings in the US, Eleven's journey is sure to create a massive frenzy. Audiences are incredibly curious about what fate awaits Eleven after the fierce battle in the Upside Down.
The final episode of Stranger Things season 5 will officially drop on Netflix at 8 PM EST on December 31st, right on New Year's Eve. This will be a historic moment for fans to bid farewell to one of the biggest pop culture icons of the past decade.
