Stranger Things David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown are ready to play father and daughter again, this time in an A24 spy drama set up at Netflix. Harbour and Brown will star in the currently untitled series created by Emmy winner Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Lord of the Flies) and serve as executive producers.

“We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,” stated Jinny Howe, Netflix head of scripted series, US 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.”

Thorne is writing and executive producing the series, which, according to Netflix’s announcement, will follow Harbour as disgraced FBI agent-turned-security expert Matt Wolfe. Matt is forced back to work in the world he left behind when Rebecca (Brown), his estranged daughter who’s followed his footsteps and become an FBI agent, suddenly goes missing. 

Additional executive producers include PCMA Productions’ Jake Bongiovi and Robert Brown, Cut To’s Joe Hipps and Patrick McDonald, and Bravo Axolotl’s KC Wenson.

Two-time Emmy nominee Millie Bobby Brown’s recent credits include The Electric State, Damsel, Enola Holmes, and Godzilla vs. Kong. And two-time Emmy nominee David Harbour’s been keeping busy with the critically acclaimed drama DTF: St. Louis and Goat
