Who plays Eleven in the Netflix series Stranger Things?

Millie Bobby Brown plays Eleven in the Netflix series Stranger Things.

Brown was cast as Eleven after the Duffer Brothers saw her audition and recognized her ability to communicate emotion with limited dialogue. Eleven is a powerful girl raised inside Hawkins National Laboratory, and Brown’s performance helped make the character central to the show’s identity.

The role was Brown’s major international breakthrough. She later received Primetime Emmy nominations for portraying Eleven, while also appearing in films such as Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Enola Holmes.

Eleven’s name is sometimes confused with Jane, her birth name, or with the number tattooed on her wrist. “Eleven” is the name most characters use throughout the series.
