Stranger Things had its premiere this week with the cast of the show reuniting, but it was a controversial one. Most recent headlines suggested that Millie Bobby Brown had filed a harassment and bullying complaint against her co-star David Harbour. However, both actors appeared to deny this jointly on the red carpet.
Brown and Harbour also responded enthusiastically to each other as they appeared together in the event and this reiterated their on-screen relationship.
The fact that they displayed mutual respect in front of the camera seemed to be in response to the speculation of tensions behind the scenes that had kept on swirling in the previous week.
The scandal started when The Daily Mail reported that Brown had provided several pages of complaints to Netflix executives before the filming had started.
The report alleged that there was an investigation within the company. Both actors did not directly respond to the allegations. However, their appearance together was an indication that they were trying to silence rumors.
The creators Stranger Things, Ross and Matt Duffer and the director Shawn Levy were also cautious commentators. They added that the cast has been operating almost a decade as a family and will still operate as a family.
They emphasized the fact that Stranger Things having a safe and respectful work environment has been of primary importance.
This new controversy contributes to a number of controversies that have been enveloping Stranger Things Season 5.
In earlier parts of this year, fans complained about season 5 taking too long to release. The main actors were now older than the characters they were playing.
Nevertheless, despite these disappointments, anticipation of the last season is high. The last season will be released in 3 parts. The first 4 episodes will be releasing on November 26. The next 3 episodes on 25 Christmas and last episode on New Year’s Eve.
