Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour appeared united on the red carpet at the world premiere of Stranger Things Season 5 in Los Angeles, following reports of tension between the two actors.

The reunion came days after claims surfaced that Brown had “filed a harassment and bullying claim” against Harbour before production began on the final season. According to reports, an investigation followed and lasted several months. No allegations of sexual misconduct were made, but Brown was said to have a representative on set throughout filming, which concluded in December 2024.

Neither Brown, Harbour, nor Netflix have directly addressed the allegations, however director Shawn Levy said that some stories about the report are "wildly inaccurate".

In a resurfaced 2024 interview, Brown’s awkward reaction to a joke about Harbour officiating her wedding to Jake Bongiovi had reignited rumours of strain. Instead, actor Matthew Modine performed the ceremony earlier this year.

Despite the controversy, the two stars presented a united front at the premiere, signalling a professional reconciliation as Stranger Things prepares to close one of television’s most successful runs.
