This has been a good week for Stranger Things. On Monday, the series received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Drama, as well as a Best Actress nod for Winona Ryder . On Tuesday, IMDb revealed that the series was this year’s second most-searched show on its entire site, second only to Game of Thrones. And now? Millie Bobby Brown just offhandedly came up with a potential addition to the Stranger Kids mix: Romeo Beckham.

Let us explain: During UNICEF’s 70th anniversary event, which Brown co-hosted, E! News asked the 12-year-old actress what she’d like to see happen with Eleven when the sci-fi series returns for Season 2.

“I don’t know,” Brown replied. “Something with Romeo Beckham.”

Should we consider this an open casting suggestion to the Duffer brothers? (14-year-old Romeo is currently a model, but who knows; perhaps he, like so many models before him, has a desire to cross over into the acting world .) Is this the first seed of what could possibly blossom into Hollywood’s hottest power couple?say, in 2028? Or is it just an offhanded comment by an actress asked to come up with something on the spot? We may never know.

What we do know: American Odyssey ’s Sadie Sink and Australian actor Dacre Montgomery will both join the cast of Stranger Things in Season 2, according to Variety ; they’ll play a tomboy named Max and her older stepbrother, Billy. All of the original Stranger Things kids will also return , including promotions for Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) and Joe Kerry (Steve Harrington) to series regulars.

As for what will actually happen , plot-wise? Predictably, everyone’s been pretty tight-lipped. Rest assured, though, that it’ll be “ insane .”
