Since many years have passed since the release of the first season of Stranger Things, the main kids have grown up. To create the flashbacks, the story required Eleven to look appropriate for the age being portrayed. Since Millie Bobby Brown already appears to be much older than ideal, the producers decided to use a younger actress to bring the character to life and finalized her face through special effects (CGI), making it possible for a much younger version to come to life. Millie’s appearance on the series.

The practice of post-production has become common in the film industry, where several studios use special effects and substitute actors to recreate characters. So you can bring dead or aged stars back into their roles. A recent example would be Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian, where they used technology to make the stuntman look like Mark Hamill on screen.

The new season of Stranger Things is now available on Netflix for you to marathon and return to Hawkins. Check out the trailer:
