Thescreescore – The cinematic reunion fans have been clamoring for is officially moving from concept to reality. Just one year after the monumental conclusion of Stranger Things, the electric chemistry between Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour is set to ignite a brand-new chapter on Netflix. While the world has moved on from the supernatural halls of Hawkins, the duo is preparing to tackle a much more grounded, yet equally high-stakes, espionage thriller.
In a recent sit-down with thescreescore.com regarding his upcoming project Violent Night 2, David Harbour provided a much-needed progress report on the untitled Netflix series. Harbour revealed that the writing phase is well underway, noting that "a bunch of scripts" are already finalized. More importantly for those counting down the days, he confirmed that principal photography is slated to begin early next year.
The project, which carries the prestige of an A24 production, is the brainchild of two-time Emmy winner Jack Thorne. Loosely adapted from Paul Warner’s 2026 novel A Spy in the Blood, the series promises a sophisticated narrative departure from their previous work. Harbour will portray Matt Wolfe, a disgraced former FBI agent turned security consultant, whose tranquil existence is shattered when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (played by Brown), vanishes during a high-stakes assignment.

Harbour was effusive in his praise for Thorne’s storytelling, emphasizing the depth of the upcoming series. "It’s a really, really great show," Harbour remarked, highlighting Thorne’s ability to weave "interesting themes" into a "rich and propulsive" dynamic. He expressed immense enthusiasm for the creative journey ahead, suggesting that the emotional core of the father-daughter relationship will be the series’ driving force.
As the industry watches closely, this collaboration marks a significant intersection of Netflix’s heavy hitters, blending the star power of the Stranger Things era with the critical acclaim of Thorne’s Adolescence. For viewers who found solace in the bond between Hopper and Eleven, this new spy-driven odyssey promises to deliver that same emotional resonance, albeit with a much sharper, more dangerous edge.
