When David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown last shared a screen together it was an emotional, tear-filled extravaganza as Jim Hopper (Harbour), watched, horror stricken, while his surrogate daughter Eleven (Brown) sacrificed herself for the greater good.
Now, just shy of six months later, Netflix has announced that the two Stranger Things stars are set to reunite as father and daughter once more, this time in an upcoming spy thriller from A24, coming to Netflix.
Brown teased their plans to work together again ahead of this official reveal, when she shared on the Happy Sad Confused's podcast (via Variety): "Father-daughter is where we live, but Netflix will always be our home."
Brown gave praise to her on-screen father when she shared: "The David Harbour project is sooner than expected… And it's David's idea, so kudos to him."
Adolescence's Emmy-award winning writer Jack Thorne is at the helm of this new untitled project, serving as both writer and executive producer alongside Harbour and Brown who will also executive produce. If that's not enough info for you on what you can expect, here's everything you need to know about this hotly-anticipated series.

Speaking to Tudum of the spy drama, Netflix's head of scripted series for US and Canada, Jinny Howe, said: "We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we've been fortunate to collaborate with before.
