## Description

In a January 2026 interview on This Morning, Nell Fisher shared that she hadn't seen a single episode of Stranger Things before auditioning for the role of Holly Wheeler. The 14-year-old breakout star explained that she had been "lobbying" to watch the Netflix hit for years, but her mother, Laura Clarke, consistently refused, claiming the show was "too scary."


Fisher jokingly clarified that her mom's restriction might have been more about her own fears than her daughter's. "She claimed it would be too scary. She meant it would be too scary for her," Nell told the hosts. Once she landed the part, the ban was finally lifted, and she binge-watched all four seasons in three weeks to catch up on the lore of Hawkins.



The move turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Nell entered her chemistry reads with Sadie Sink and Jamie Campbell Bower without being starstruck, as she didn't yet realize the massive scale of the series. After filming for a year in Atlanta, Fisher has returned to her life as a "huge geek" in London, where she balances her newfound fame with studying Russian, Ancient Greek, and Latin.
