Moving on: Millie said: ‘Stranger Things takes a lot of time to film and it stops me from creating stories that I’m passionate about. So I’m ready to say, ‘Thank you and goodbye’
She also said she is ready to leave the show that launched her to stardom and grew up on after seven years because it gave her “the tools and the resources to become a better actor.”
She bluntly added that she won’t be sad because no one dies, stressing, “When it’s over, I can still see these people.”
Millie has expressed her wish for the show to wrap up sooner, telling Seventeen in March: I’m definitely ready to wrap up. I feel like a lot of the story has been told now, and we know about it, it’s been in our lives for a long time.
‘But I am very ready to say goodbye to this chapter of my life and open a new one. I am able to create stories that are important to me and focus on the bigger picture. But I’m really grateful (for the show).”
In August, she reiterated that she was ready, telling Women’s Wear Daily: ‘I think I’m ready. It’s been such a big factor in part of my life, but it’s like graduating high school, it’s like senior year.
“You’re ready to blossom and prosper and you’re grateful for the time you’ve had, but it’s time to create your own message and live your own life.”
Her co-stars have also spoken about their feelings surrounding the end of the mega-hit series.
David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, shared similar thoughts with Millie, narrating Discussing film: “The funny thing is, when I started the show, I never wanted it to end. That’s why I love the show.
‘I think it’s a great show, even though I wasn’t there. Now we’re almost nine years removed from filming the first season, and I think it’s time to end it.”
He added: “But of course it’s very bittersweet. You know, there’s a sadness in it. But we have also all grown up. It’s time for us to leave that nest and try other things and other projects.
“And to have the Duffer Brothers try different things too. I mean, those guys are so talented. I want to see what they come up with next. So it’s bittersweet, but it’s definitely time.”
However, Gaten Matarazzo and Finn Wolfhard have admitted they are less willing to part ways.
Gaten, who plays Dustin Henderson, shared Jimmy Fallon said in an interview in March that he lives in “deep fear” about the end of Stranger Things.
He said: “There’s a certain excitement because you always want to wrap it up and see how these characters will finally develop one last time, and how they’ll complete their journey.
‘But there is also a kind of deep fear. Not only was it great, but it was also pretty great job security for a while. Back to freelance.’

While Finn, who plays Mike Wheeler, admitted to Uproxx in January that he “wasn’t read” for the ending, although he admitted that “it would be ridiculous” if it continued beyond a fifth season.
He said, “(I’m) not ready yet, but I’m just really excited to start working on it because after I watched season four, I was just like, ‘Damn, let’s just go back and film now.’
“I just want to help finish it, but not in the way that I want to be done with it. It’s like I want to know what’s happening. “I’m definitely sad about it, but I also know that this is the next kind of chapter in everyone’s life that needs to happen.”
He added, “I hope we get an ending for each character that is quite satisfying for the fans.”
