Speaking about the same, Jinny Howe, Netflix's head of scripted series for the US and Canada, shared, "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.

Harbour on Relationship with Brown Amid Past Rumours
The development comes six months after the actors wrapped their characters in the finale of 'Stranger Things'. Harbour also stirred headlines after reports claimed that he bullied and harassed Brown. At the time, Harbour denied the claims, stating, "I don't know if people have families and friends that you spend a lot of time with for 10 years -- you occasionally get in arguments, disagreements. In families, it's OK because you're just in a disagreement, and then you come back together," as per Variety.
Despite the rumours and public speculation, Harbour made it clear that his relationship with Brown remains strong. Highlighting their continued friendship and future collaborations, he said there is a "special bond" between them and revealed that they are currently working together on multiple projects.
