Stranger Things cast Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp opened up to ET about how their co-star Millie Bobby Brown is doing after splitting her kneecap last week.
“She’s gonna get better really soon,” Sink told Caryl Steel at this year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards at Barker Hangar, Santa Monica, California, Saturday. “Unfortunately, she hurt her knee. I think she slipped, it wasn’t on set but she fractured her knee but she’s getting better.”

“She’s in high spirits,” Wolfhard added, noting that Brown literally split her kneecap in half. “It’s a gnarly picture.”
“I hope she’s okay,” Schnapp said. “We’ve sent her a lot of videos and cards and stuff.”
Brown announced on Instagram on Friday that she would not be able to attend the awards night due to her injury.
“I’ve never actually broken a bone except for now. I have split my kneecap, so from the doctor’s orders, he told me to rest up and that means that I won’t be attending the MTV Awards this weekend,” the 14-year-old actress said in a video showing off her leg brace and crutches.
“I hope Gaten [Matarazzo] and Caleb [McLaughlin], Finn, Sadie and Noah have the best time and I love them so dearly. So I wish you guys the best and I’m sending my luck with you, and I’ll be there in spirit,” she added. Brown is nominated for both Best Performance in a Show and Best Kiss with Wolfhard at the MTV Movie & TV awards.
Her Stranger Things co-stars also teased the much-awaited season 3. Wolfhard hinted some “new characters” and a summer months setting, while Schnapp gave more specific details.
“I can’t say too much but it’s a great season so far,” he shared. “It’s set in ’85, there’s eight episodes, and it does well mixing both [season] one and two of Stranger Things.”
Stranger Things season 3 will hit Netflix in 2019.
