David Harbour has teased that Stranger Things won't be the last project in which he works with Millie Bobby Brown. The duo appeared in all five seasons of the hit Netflix series, which ended earlier this year.
Harbour appeared as Hawkins Chief of Police Jim Hopper – although he wasn't the first choice for the role – who finds himself the de facto guardian of Brown's Eleven, a young girl with psychokinetic abilities who was raised in a secret government laboratory.
Their relationship formed some of the show's most emotional and heartwarming moments, with fans wondering if Harbour and Brown would be working together again in the future.

Speaking to Variety, Harbour revealed: "Straight up, Millie and I are working on several…"
He stopped himself before sharing exactly what projects they are working on, but continued: "You’ll see more of me and Millie – 10 years wasn’t enough. There is a special bond there. I love her. She loves me."

In an email, Brown told the publication: "Obviously I changed so much from Season 1 to Season 5, and David was there through all of it.
"Over time, our relationship became much more collaborative creatively. When you work with someone for that many years, we could really push each other emotionally in scenes. Even though the series has ended, there’s still a lot of gratitude.
"Getting to share that experience with him for so many years is something I’ll always remember and value."
Harbour also opened up on the shocking end to Stranger Things season five, in which Eleven sacrificed herself to save her loved ones.

"A lot of people think maybe she’s in Spain or whatever," the Violent Night star said. "But right from the very beginning of that series – we love this little girl, but you really can’t have a little girl in Hawkins, Indiana, with supernatural powers running around. She just cannot exist.
"Right from the beginning of the series – you gotta kill her. Until Netflix needs to raise their subscription rate. Then – ladies and gentlemen: Eleven, the new series!"
Harbour is working on several projects now that Stranger Things has ended, including a sequel to Violent Night and the upcoming MCU film Avengers: Doomsday, reprising his role as Alexei Shostakov, also known as Red Guardian.
The actor is also set to appear in John Rambo in 2027, the sixth instalment in the Rambo franchise and a prequel to 1982's First Blood.
