Millie Bobby Brown Is Trading Fantasy For Romance In Her Most Personal Netflix Project Yet

After years of monsters, mysteries, and magic, Millie Bobby Brown is finally stepping into her first rom-com — and this one comes straight from the heart. Just Picture It, her upcoming Netflix movie, marks a genre-first for the actress, and details are steadily rolling in.

What’s The Story About?

The film follows two college students, Bea and Sam, whose phones mysteriously start glitching and showing them images from ten years in the future — where they’re happily married with kids. Is it a tech malfunction, or an actual glimpse of fate? Written by first-time feature screenwriter Jesse Lasky and directed by Lee Toland Krieger, the story draws from Lasky’s own real-life romance, where he and his now-wife attended the same college without knowing each other, only to reconnect years later.

Meet The Cast

Alongside Brown as Bea and Gabriel LaBelle (known for The Fabelmans and Saturday Night) as Sam, the supporting lineup includes Amrit Kaur, Julian Dennison, Idina Menzel, Brec Bassinger, Anthony Keyvan, Margo Martindale, Ben Jackson Walker, and Austin Woods — a solid ensemble backing this genre debut.

Why This Project Feels Different

This marks the second film Millie Bobby Brown, the actress who first rose to fame on Stranger Things at just 12 years old, has developed from the ground up — the first being Damsel, which opened to over 50 million views in its first week. Brown continues producing through her own banner, PCMA Productions, alongside her father Robert Brown, with her husband Jake Bongiovi also serving as an executive producer. Brown has publicly called Netflix her “home studio,” describing this project as something she’s been slowly developing as a genuine passion project rather than just another gig.

When Will It Release?

Filming wrapped in late October 2025, and the movie is currently in post-production. Netflix hasn’t confirmed an official release date yet, and the title notably didn’t appear in the streamer’s 2026 slate reveal — meaning a release could land anywhere from late 2026 to early 2027.

What Else Is Coming From Millie Bobby Brown

Beyond this rom-com, Brown has a packed slate ahead, including a film adaptation of her own novel Nineteen Steps, the TV series Prism, and an untitled espionage project from Adolescence creator Jack Thorne — proof that her Netflix partnership is only expanding.
