Stranger Things fans have been blindsided by an unexpected Love Island crossover.

On Sunday (7 August), a clip from an Instagram Live between Stranger Things co-stars Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp did the rounds on social media .

Dauring their chat, Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in the Netflix series, revealed that he direct messaged Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu after she won the show on Monday (1 August).

Not only did Ekin-Su reply, but she “video called” Schnapp.

“I DM’d Ekin-Su and she answered me,” Schnapp told Brown, who replied: “She did?!”

As Brown proceeded to impersonate Ekin Su-’s Italian boyfriend and co-winner Davide Sanclimenti, Schncapp could be heard saying: “We’ve video called each other.”

Fans of both shows were in shock over the unexpected pairing, with one person calling it “an interesting crossover”.

“Noah Schnapp following Ekin-Su will never not be funny to me,” another person wrote, with someone else urging Schnapp to get Ekin-Su a role in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things.
