“Stranger Things” stars Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour are reuniting for another Netflix project that's diametrically opposite to their previous work. What's even more interesting is that it comes from Jack Thorne, the acclaimed writer behind the much-discussed "Adolescence", which became an instant hit on Netflix.
Harbour, who is coming off the limited HBO series "DTF St. Louis", and Brown, who is currently appearing in the third "Enola Holmes" movie (set for Netflix premiere on July 1), will play father and daughter in the yet-untitled series that hails from indie studio A24. The two are also involved as executive producers.
Netflix's official logline describes the series as a "spy drama" with thriller elements, in which Harbour plays a disgraced FBI agent-turned-security expert who is pulled back into his past when his estranged daughter, also an FBI agent (Brown), goes missing.
In an official statement, Jinny Howe, Netflix's head of scripted series, US and Canada, 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. 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.”
Brown's partner, Jake Bongiovi, and father, Robert Brown, are also part of the project as executive producers under the banner PCMA Productions, partnering with Joe Hipps and Patrick McDonald (company: Cut To) and KC Wenson (banner: Bravo Axolotl).
Thorne, who won the Emmy and Golden Globe for his work on "Adolescence", recently brought out his adaptation of "Lord of the Flies", based on the William Golding novel of the same name.
