However, during one of the biggest promotional weeks, Brown faced an unexpected snag On Monday, 15th December, she and her longtime co-star Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, were to make a live appearance on 'Good Morning America.' The duo has shared off-screen chemistry for years, and this appearance was meant to build anticipation for the upcoming 'Stranger Things' Season 5: Volume 2 episodes—including the much talked-about and the newly released trailer and the final run.
The Real Reason Behind the Cancellation
Due to an arm injury sustained in a fall, Brown appeared via a pre-recorded video from home rather than physically entering the studio. She expressed her sincere regret to fans and host Lara Spencer in the GMA footage, stating that she "took a fall" and was unable to attend in person. With her left arm in a sling, the 21-year-old still found a way to be part of the moment, asking Schnapp a fun holiday-themed question and injecting her upbeat personality into the segment.
