A slow trickle of news for Stranger Things 5 has been coming out over the past few months,
with updates behind-the-scenes on the progress of the writing staff.
Now we’ve learned when Netflix is eying to start filming for Stranger Things season
5.
Up until this point, it had been expected that production on the fifth season wouldn’t
get underway until 2023, with David Harbour stating that he’ll film season 5 back to
back with Marvel’s Thunderbolts in the summer.
Production Weekly Issue 1326, which was released earlier today, now confirms that Netflix is
currently eying to film season 5 from “Mid-May 2023”.
That coincides with the conclusion of the production for Netflix’s upcoming blockbuster
film “The Electric State,” which will star Millie Bobby Brown in the lead role alongside
Chris Pratt.
That movie will finish filming in mid-April 2023.
No end dates for Stranger Things 5 were provided, but prior seasons, with the exception of season
4, have taken around 7 to 8 months of filming.
David Harbour recently said in an interview that it would be around 8-9 months of filming
and you have to remember that even though season 5 is 8 episodes, the last one will
be feature length.
That means that if filming begins mid to late May 2023, it will wrap around January or February
2024.
Looking at the previous seasons and their increasing time of post production, Stranger
Things season 5 should hit Netflix at the earliest in very late 2024, likely around
December for the holiday season.
The production listing also states the series will continue filming in Atlanta, Georgia,
as previously mentioned a couple of weeks ago by Steven Weintraub.
Production Weekly also reveals that the production will take place at EUE/Screen Gems Studios
Atlanta Studio, which has been home to Stranger Things since season 1 and was used prominently
for season 4.
The 33-acre Atlanta studio complex boasts 11 stages and was the first full-service production
studio campus to open in Atlanta.
As a reminder, production dates are highly subject to change, but at the current rate
that they’re going, it makes sense that filming will begin around that time or a bit
later.
The Duffer Brothers and their writer’s room seem to be writing one episode per month,
and they’re probably gonna finish around late April/early May and do the table read
right afterwards.
As of the time of writing, the writers are currently hard at work on the fifth season,
which will have a slightly reduced episode count compared to season 4 reduced from 9
to 8.
We’ve seen the planning grid for Stranger Things season 5 and the first episode script
draft, “Chapter One: The Crawl,” written by The Duffer Brothers.
Here’s hoping that they’re doing everything with care and love without feeling the need
to rush out the final season of Netflix’s flagship global phenomenon.
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
