Emotions ran high at the final table read for Stranger Things Season 5, where Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp surprised their castmates with handmade gifts — a tender sendoff from a cast that grew up together on set.

Stranger Things is heading into its home stretch, and the final table read hit exactly the kind of emotional note you would expect from a cast that basically grew up together. Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp showed up with a very Millie-and-Noah move: handmade gifts for the whole crew, because of course they did.

The handmade send-off

In a chat with Entertainment Tonight, the two said they spent the night before the last table read at Michaels, loading up on charms and supplies to make personalized friendship bracelets for the cast. Not just a couple. For about 25 people. Each one tailored to that person, which is both adorable and also a serious time commitment when you think about it.

  • They did a late-night Michaels run the night before the final table read
  • Picked charms that matched each cast member’s personality
  • Made and handed out friendship bracelets for roughly 25 people

What they will miss

When asked what they will miss most about the ride from the early days to the final season, Brown and Schnapp paused and glanced at each other, which kind of said it all before they even spoke. Millie said their relationship is sibling-level at this point. She has spent so much time with him over the years that it often outpaced time with her own family. She also pointed out that Noah is a twin, and she was basically glued to him on set.

Noah added that, as someone who grew up as a twin, he was used to having that built-in closeness and immediately found a version of that with Millie the second they met.

"I am actually the triplet."

After the finale, still family

Both of them made it clear the connection does not end when the show wraps. Whatever happens post-Season 5, they plan to stay in each other’s lives. Which, given the bracelets, tracks.
