“This season, Eleven deals with some of the realest monsters out there, like bullying and self identity,” explains “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown. Season 4 of the smash hit Netflix series tosses Eleven into a California high school with no superpowers to help her navigate the complicated teenage experience. This provides an emotional, grounded playing space for the actress, which serves as a great contrast to the more action heavy sequences that the supernatural series is famous for.

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses several major plot developments in Season 4, Vol. 1 of “Stranger Things,” currently streaming on Netflix.
For Season 4 of “Stranger Things,” Millie Bobby Brown had the rare opportunity to revisit the role that she’s been playing since she was barely 11 years old, by guiding another girl to play an even younger version of the character.

But occasionally, young actor Martie Blair (“The Young and the Restless”) stood-in for the 9 year old version of Eleven, and her face was digitally replaced with Brown’s in post-production.
