Netflix will reunite with familiar faces for the post-apocalyptic outing, electrical condition. Based on the illustrated novel by Simon Stålenhag, electrical condition will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo AKA The Russo Brothers, with stranger things star Millie Bobby Brown is set to helm the project.

stranger things star Millie Bobby Brown will direct electrical condition as Michelle, an orphaned teenager trying to survive in a retro future. “Set in post-apocalyptic 1997, The Electric State is the story of Michelle who, accompanied by her toy robot Skip, sets off across the western United States in a stolen car to find her missing brother”, the synopsis of the source novel reads. “Told with painful melancholy, restrained prose, and featuring nearly a hundred stunning full-color illustrations, The Electric State is a novel like no other.”

The illustrated novel was titled “Stranger Things meet On the Road”, making Millie Bobby Brown the perfect person to lead the Netflix project.

As reported by Deadline, electrical condition will not only bring The Russo Brothers and Millie Bobby Brown back to the streaming service, but also writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who will adapt electrical condition for the screen. Markus and McFeely have worked alongside Joe and Anthony Russo on several occasions in the past, including on the likes of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil Warand both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The writing duo’s next project is The gray man which, you guessed it, is being made by the Russo Brothers for release on Netflix.

There are currently no other cast members attached, but it has been reported that guardians of the galaxy Star Chris Pratt (incidentally another film involving Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely) is currently in talks to star alongside Brown.

electrical condition is just one of many Netflix projects involving Millie Bobby Brown and The Russo Brothers. The latter will soon launch what they hope will be a new action franchise with the spy thriller The gray man. Starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, The Gray Man follows the CIA’s most skilled mercenary, Court Gentry AKA Sierra Six, who accidentally discovers dark agency secrets. He quickly becomes a prime target and is hunted around the world by former fellow psychopath Lloyd Hansen and a group of international assassins.

The gray man is slated for release on Netflix on July 22, 2022.

As for Millie Bobby Brown, she will return as Eleven in volume 2 of stranger things Season 4 at the weekend. As Eleven continues to rekindle her powers, Vecna, now revealed to be Henry Creel and One, the first of Dr. Martin Brenner’s experiments, begins to unleash her power on the small town of Hawkins. Hopper, Joyce and Murray, meanwhile, find themselves in a very different but no less dangerous situation, trying to escape from a Russian prison.

stranger things Season 4 volume 2 will be available on Netflix from July 1, 2022. The actress should also return as Enola Holmes in an upcoming sequel.
