Due to the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike in May, filming for the fifth season of the famous sci-fi thriller series had to stop. The twin brothers explained in a tweet, “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.”

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. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out. #wgastrong

Now that the actors’ strike is over and the team behind Netflix’s Stranger Things Season 5 isn’t wasting any time getting back to work. The much-anticipated last season could start filming as soon as next week.

David Harbour who plays the beloved police chief Jim Hopper was excited and felt like he needed to get back to work right away. The most important thing he said was that work on Season 5 could start again in “a couple of days.”

He told on the red carpet for the BoxLunch Gala honoring Feeding America:

“I mean, we got to film that last season of Stranger Things, don’t we? I got to be down there, like, in a couple of days. We got to get going — we’re late.”

When will Stranger Things Season 5 be Released?

Most of the season will still need to be shot in 2024, even if filming starts up again this week. Due to the delays, a release date in 2025 seems more possible. However, neither Netflix nor the writers of Stranger Things have confirmed a premiere date.

On August 2, 2022, one month after Season 4, Volume 2 came out on Netflix, the writers began working on Season 5. They shared the beginning of the grid stage of writing each show. On September 20, 2022, they finished the grid.

On Stranger Things Day, November 6, they posted the first words of Season 5. We also found out that the name of the first episode is “The Crawl.”
