Netflix has scrapped a new Millie Bobby Brown drama, sources said. Millie Bobby Brown quit the project over creative differences, though the specific reasons have not been disclosed. The drama was a biopic about US Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug.
The script was being written by Ronnie Sandahl, and Deadline first confirmed the project in September last year. The project was set to start filming this summer, sources indicated. Gia Coppola was originally set to direct the project but was replaced by Cate Shortland, according to sources, but the reason for the director change remains unclear.
Netflix has not provided an official reason for scrapping the project, and it is unknown if there are plans to revive it with a different actress or at a later date. The official response from Millie Bobby Brown's representative to the reports has not been confirmed.
