Faced with the prospect of filming without writers on set, the creators, executive producers and showrunners the Duffer Brothers chose to postpone production.
“Writing does not stop when filming begins,” they wrote on the official Twitter account for the Stranger Things writers. While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out. #wgastrong.”
Deadline has confirmed that production on season five of the blockbuster, which was due to begin soon, is being postponed. No new start date has been set.
The scripts for the fifth season of Stranger Things are said to be written; writing for the final season began on August 2, 2022.
Matt and Ross Duffer told Deadline last year that a major goal with the final season is to “stick the landing.”
“Characters are already going to be in action, they’re already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that’s going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this season feel really different,” Matt Duffer said at the time. “I’m sure the wrap-up will be a lot longer, it’s going to be ‘Return of the King’-ish with, like, eight endings.”
