One step ahead of the Hawkins gang, Millie Bobby Brown says she already knows how Stranger Things ends after wandering into the writers room — and she spilled it on The Tonight Show before her costars even heard.

Of course Millie Bobby Brown already knows how Stranger Things ends. While the rest of the cast showed up to the final table read in the dark, she walked in with the answer key.

How Millie found out before everyone else

The 21-year-old told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that she could not wait for the big reveal. The night before the last table read, nobody had been told how the final season wraps up. Except Millie. She admitted she pulled some harmless espionage: she wandered into the writers room and looked at the board.

"I actually did know."

"I snuck into the writers room and saw this really big whiteboard with all of the endings on it. It was so much to process."

She also joked that her usual move is threatening the directors with old high school photos unless they spill story details. This time, no leverage needed — just a casual stroll past a whiteboard covered in endings.

The table read that broke everyone

This all happened right before one of the last, super emotional table reads. Millie and Noah Schnapp spent the previous night making about 30 friendship bracelets, picking little charms that fit each person. When the cast and crew gathered, they ditched the normal table setup for couches, and the whole thing turned into a two-hour cry-fest. Her words: they basically cried for two hours straight.

What Netflix is teasing and how the finale rolls out

  • Netflix dropped a peek at a different table read where Gaten Matarazzo, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton get blindsided by an episode titled "Sorcerer."
  • Creators Matt and Ross Duffer say the Stranger Things finale runs about two hours.
  • It will be broadcast across more than 500 screens in North America on Dec. 31.
