David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown, who co-starred on “Stranger Things” together for five seasons, will once again share the screen. Netflix has announced a straight-to-series order for the pair to star in and executive produce an untitled Jack Thorne spy thriller from A24. Thorne not only co-created Emmys juggernaut “Adolescence” and “Lord of the Flies” for Netflix, but he’s written the streamer’s “Enola Holmes” movies, which star Brown.
According to the logline for the new series, “Disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe is drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca — now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps — vanishes on a mission, forcing him back into a field that has evolved beyond him.”
“We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,” wrote Jinny Howe, Netflix’s Head of Scripted Series, U.S. and Canada. “Jack Thorne’s ability to find the deeply human story inside a thriller is unmatched, and watching Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunite — this time as estranged father and daughter on opposite sides of a crisis — is something audiences are going to love. A24 is the perfect partner to bring this story to our members around the world.”
