Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour put on a united front with smiles on their faces at the Stranger Things premiere.
The two co-stars, who have played Eleven and Jim Hopper ever since the Netflix sci-fi hit launched in 2016, are reprising their roles in the highly anticipated fifth and final season.
They were both present on the red carpet for the streaming platform’s glitzy launch event on Thursday night, just days after reports Millie, 21, had accused David, 50, of ‘bullying and harassment’ on set.
The longtime castmates were beaming at the premiere as they shared a hug and some laughs while they posed for photos, appearing to lay the rumours to rest.
Alongside a clip of the pair having a warm embrace, the official Stranger Things Instagram account wrote: ‘David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrive together for one last Stranger Things premiere.’

Neither star has publicly responded to the claims.
The Mail on Sunday reported that David faced an internal enquiry after Millie allegedly complained about his behaviour towards her with ‘pages and pages of accusations’.
It was claimed the complaint was filed ‘before they started shooting the last season’, while ‘the investigation went on for months’.
Co-creators and showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer were asked about the bullying claims on the red carpet.
Ross told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal onset matters, but I will say we’ve been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family and we deeply care about them.
‘So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy.’
Director and executive producer Shawn Levy was quizzed on how the production team handles bullying complaints on set to make sure everyone ‘feels safe and respect’.
He insisted the job of a producer is to ‘create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe’.
‘We did everything to build that environment. And we’re proud of the fact that we did so,’ he added to THR.
He also claimed that hes read ‘a bunch of stories’ about the bullying claims, branded some aspects as ‘wildly inaccurate’.
‘There’s so much noise around it. But the truth is that we view this crew and this cast as family, and so we treat each other with respect, and that’s always been bedrock,’ he said.
Millie was asked about her relationship with David as she chatted to reporters on the red carpet, and was full of praise for her co-star.
‘I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father and daughter relationship, and we do every scene together. You really get to see that in season 5,’ she told Entertainment Tonight.
She added: ‘It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me. Winona, the kids. I’m really honoured to have played Eleven and have to met such amazing people along the way.’
Speaking to Extra, Millie also said: ‘It’s been amazing. We’re so lucky to have each other. The show means so much to the both of us and to everyone here.’
David told ET: ‘I adore her, and I’ve been proud to watch all them grow up and become great artists. I doubt it will be the last time we’ll see each other in this world or work together.’
Stranger Things returns to Netflix on November 26.
