Fear Street’s Dream Cast: Millie Bobby Brown & More?!

During the pandemic, Netflix sought blockbuster success and found it by acquiring the entire ‘Fear Street’ trilogy from Disney’s 20th Century Studios. This acquisition transformed into a significant cultural phenomenon for their streaming platform. The movies, inspired by R.L. Stine’s books of the same name, offered classic summer horror tailored for young audiences. These stories were intricately connected across time and revolved around the town of Shadyside, where residents were familiar with whispers of a curse lurking in their town. By the end, the main characters were prepared to confront Sarah Fier (Elizabeth Scopel) and her chilling powers.

Originally intended as the finale, Fear Street Part Three: 1666 saw Sarah Fier vanquished and Shadyside’s citizens surviving to face another day. However, given the remarkable success of the first three films, it was clear that Netflix wished to continue spinning tales within this universe. With Fear Street: Prom Queen set to chart a new course for the franchise, let’s examine some outstanding performers who could enrich the series moving forward. The future of the brand may be shrouded in mystery, but if Netflix delivers another blockbuster, these are some talented artists who could spearhead their own Fear Street narratives:

The story that began with Fear Street Part Three: 1666 was supposed to reach its conclusion when Sarah Fier was defeated. However, the impressive success of the initial three films made it clear that Netflix wanted to explore more stories within this universe. Now that we’re moving ahead with Fear Street: Prom Queen, let’s delve into some promising actors who could enhance the series going forward. The long-term future of the brand is uncertain, but if Netflix can deliver another blockbuster, here are some gifted performers who might spearhead their own Fear Street stories:

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown has successfully established herself in the entertainment world, primarily through her work with Netflix. Her iconic role as Eleven catapulted the hit series “Stranger Things” to unprecedented popularity. In the final season of this show, fans will see Brown reprise her character once more. Post-“Stranger Things”, Brown has a wealth of opportunities to spearhead new projects. Given that she’s collaborated with Netflix for over a decade, it’s likely they’ll continue their professional relationship by producing a new movie from the “Fear Street” series. With numerous books available as source material, it wouldn’t be difficult for the studio to create an adaptation starring one of their most prominent actresses.

Millie Bobby Brown could follow in the footsteps of other Stranger Things stars by leading her own Fear Street film. Since her debut as Max Mayfield in season 2 of Stranger Things, Sadie Sink’s popularity has soared and she later starred in Fear Street Part Two: 1978. Ziggy Berman is a crucial character in the book adaptations. Given the link between Fear Street and Stranger Things, it makes sense for Millie Bobby Brown to jump on board. For now, audiences can catch her on Netflix again with the upcoming Enola Holmes installment.

Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse Ronan could be an unconventional pick for the “Fear Street” series, but precisely this makes her a potential fit. After all, the actress from “The Outrun” has a knack for tackling diverse roles that help expand her acting skills. If she’s not keen on being in the limelight with projects dominating pop culture discourse, “Fear Street” could be an attractive option. The adaptations have garnered enough popularity to cultivate a dedicated fanbase. Should Ronan spearhead a future installment of the series, she would receive ample attention while avoiding the intense focus that comes with joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe or similar high-profile projects.

Laura Harrier

One standout performance from “Spider-Man: Homecoming” was delivered by Laura Harrier as Liz Toomes. Although she initially served as Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) love interest before his affection shifted towards MJ (Zendaya), her role in the movie showcased her exceptional talent for dry, humorous delivery – a skill that would be an asset in a Fear Street production due to its campy horror style. If given the chance to star in her own adaptation by Netflix, viewers could be delightfully impressed by Laura Harrier’s acting abilities.

Since her appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Laura Harrier has taken on diverse roles in films like “BlacKkKlansman” and “The Starling.” The eclectic nature of these projects makes her casting for “Fear Street” all the more intriguing. With its comedic horror genre sandwiched between successful comedies and critically-acclaimed dramas, it’s exciting to imagine what Harrier might bring to this upcoming movie.

As Netflix mulls over its plans for the Fear Street series, moviegoers can anticipate this summer’s thrilling release of Prom Queen. Whether the studio chooses to continue with more horror tales or if the Fear Street franchise fades into legend remains to be seen.

Fear Street: Prom Queen premieres on Netflix on May 23.
