Filming of the fifth and final season of Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’, a series that juggles numerous genres and influences, has been halted.
‘Stranger Things’ has halted work on its final season, as series co-creators and co-showrunners Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, known as the Duffer brothers, shared a statement announcing that starting production is not possible during the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.
The Duffers issued a statement from the Stranger Writers Twitter account that stated: ‘Duffers here. Writing does not stop when filming begins. While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike.’
The Duffers added, ‘We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out. #wgastrong’. However, no official statement was released from Netflix for comment.
As the most streamed series of 2022, the series now joins a growing group of Netflix series, such as ‘Big Mouth’ and ‘Cobra Kai’, facing delays and productions pauses amid the ongoing writers’ strike.
After the original “Stranger Things” concludes, fans can expect an animated series set in the “Stranger Things” world, which is set to be produced by the Duffer brothers, Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. England-based fans can check out the franchise’s venture into the theater world later this year.
