The fifth and final season of Stranger Things has not yet started production due to the ongoing WGA strike. “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. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out. #wgastrong” the Duffer duo explained in a social media post in May.
While fans have a long wait ahead for the series conclusion, there is still ample Stranger Things content ahead. An animated series, live-action spinoff series, and a stage production are all upcoming. Now that the Duffers have founded Upside Down Pictures, it is safe to say the franchise is here to stay.
A release date has not yet been announced for Stranger Things Season 5.
