  • Millie also dished on how the cast's final read went, from tears to friendship bracelet exchanges.

Pour one out, folks: Stranger Things is getting ready to come to an end, and fans who have waited with bated breath over the past four seasons are waiting to see what will happen with Eleven, the gang, and Hawkins, Indiana in the season 5 finale. Though most of the cast was left in the dark about the ending until the final table read, Millie Bobby Brown found out the series' dramatic conclusion waaaaay before her co-stars did.

The actress appeared on the Dec. 7 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonand revealed that she was already knowledgeable about the show's ending while her co-stars were learning it during the last table read.

“I didn't really know how I was going to react,” she told Fallon, “and then the night before the last table read, we didn't know what was gonna happen—nobody knew. I actually did know.”

Our girl joked that she likes to “blackmail the directors” (LOL) and managed to access to an otherwise ~top secret area~ that would spoil the ending for the rest of the cast.

“I snuck into the writers’ room and I saw this really big whiteboard with all of the endings on it,” she confessed. “And I was like, ‘Ahh, so much to process!’” As for the show's final read-through, it didn't actually take place at a table, either—“we sat on couches, and we cried for basically two hours straight.”

And if that wasn't enough to totally get you in your feelings about Stranger Things ending, Millie explained that everyone in the cast and crew left with a personalized parting gift on their last day.

“We made 30 friendship bracelets for everyone with charms that describe their personality, so when we went in, we gave them to everyone,” she added. “It was just a really wholesome day.” Excuse me while I scream, cry, throw up, etc.
