Long delays between seasons of Stranger Things seem to be the norm for the hit Netflix show. Season 4 faced lengthy delays back in 2020 due to the COVID-19 shutdowns and Season 5 was stuck in a similar situation in 2023 with production impacted by the historic SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Thankfully, all signs point to the series being on track to start filming the final season starting in early 2024.
Since the strikes ended, the cast and crew have been hard at work getting things ready. Ross Duffer has been active on his personal Instagram sharing various snippets of the planning including a tour of the wardrobe facilities while also sharing an updated cast list for the the first episode that sent fans into a theorizing frenzy.
