If we had to study the success of Netflix as the #1 streaming platform worldwide, Millie Bobby Brown is certainly one of the principal reasons behind it. As the protagonist of the flagship series of the entertainment company, she became the absolute icon of contemporary sci-fi.
At only 20 years old, she has already won two Primetime Emmy Awards and was featured in the Time 100 list of the world’s most influential people in 2018. At such a young age, she already has the career typical of an all-time celebrity.
Now, as “Stranger Things” is about to come to an end, many are wondering what the next steps are for the Eleven actress. Here, check where we will find her in the upcoming years.
What are Millie Bobby Brown’s next projects?
The Electric State — 2024
These are great news for fans of Millie’s sci-fi projects! “The Electric State” will be released on Netflix before the end of the year. If you love Marvel, you’ll also be excited to know that this production was directed by the Russo Brothers.
The plot centers around a young adventurer, Michelle, and her robot, Skip. They try to travel west to reach the Pacific coast through a futuristic America that has been practically destroyed by civil war and a strange race of monstrous drones.
To say that the cast is absolutely star-packed is a minimization. Millie Bobby Brown plays Michelle, and she is accompanied in her adventure by Chris Pratt, Devyn Dalton, Ke Huy Quan and Stanley Tucci, among others.
Enola Holmes 3 — 2025
With both lovers and haters, one thing is certain: “Enola Holmes” has been one of Netflix’s most successful original movie series over the years. The first installment had 76 million households watching the film over its first four weeks, and the second topped the streaming service viewership charts in 93 countries.

Enola Holmes 2 was set in London at the end of the 19th century and followed Enola after the success of her first case as a private detective. Enola opens her own agency but discovers that life as a female detective is not as easy as it seems. On the verge of closing the business, a young, penniless girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister.
Although no plot has been revealed so far, it is quite probable that the third title will be based on the book “Enola Holmes 3: The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets,” which would be the next installment following the book series that inspired the movies.
Stranger Things Season 5 — 2025
After nine years since its release, the production that made Millie Bobby Brown famous will come to an end. While there hasn’t been a confirmed release date yet, it has been stated numerous times by the stars that the last season will premiere in early 2025.
The plot has been kept extra secret for the fans to be surprised when the time comes, but the Duffer brothers already confirmed that it would delve into the mythology and lore of the Upside Down.
According to IMDb, the fifth season will consist of eight episodes, with the first one titled “Chapter One: The Crawl”. Naturally, all the regular cast will return, with the addition of Linda Hamilton in an undisclosed role.
The Thing About Jellyfish — TBA
“The Thing About Jellyfish” marks a departure from the projects Millie Bobby Brown has led until now. It is based on the 2015 children’s novel written by Ali Benjamin, marking her fiction debut. A release date has not been disclosed yet.

The adaptation will follow Suzy Swanson, the protagonist and narrator of the book, who is convinced that the real cause of the death of her former friend, Franny Jackson, was a jellyfish sting.
So far, Millie is the only confirmed member of the cast. The director will be Wanuri Kahiu, renowned for helming the romantic drama “Rafiki,” which received multiple nominations at some of the most important festivals worldwide.
The Girls I’ve Been — TBA
“The Girls I’ve Been” will be another book adaptation, based on the must-read thriller by Tess Sharpe, which was a best seller. However, we still shouldn’t get too excited about it, as the project has not yet found a director.
It revolves around Nora, a con artist who must rely on her powers of persuasion and her ability to impersonate identities if she hopes to get out of a tense hostage situation in a bank.
Following the “Enola Holmes” trilogy, this will mark Millie Bobby Brown’s fourth venture as a producer. According to Netflix’s official media outlets, the movie will be co-produced with the entertainment company and released exclusively on its platform.
Nineteen Steps — TBA
This project further solidifies Millie Bobby Brown as one of the biggest stars of her generation! Netflix is adapting her debut novel, “Nineteen Steps,” into a film.

Set during World War II and inspired by Brown’s grandmother’s life, the story follows 18-year-old Nellie Morris, who lives in the Bethnal Green neighborhood of East London. She falls in love with an American airman named Ray, but her life is shattered after surviving the Bethnal Green Tube disaster, which claimed the lives of 173 civilians seeking shelter during an air raid.
The screenplay is being adapted by Anthony McCarten, the screenwriter behind “Bohemian Rhapsody,” so expectations are high. As for a release date, the project is still in its early stages, so the movie is likely to debut in the second half of 2025 or early 2026.
