'Stranger Things’ is the latest television series to pause production amid the ongoing writers' strike in Hollywood.
On Saturday, the Duffer Brothers, the duo behind the series and showrunners of the Netflix hit, took to Twitter to announce that production on the show's fifth and final season would have to come to a halt due to the 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," Matt and Ross Duffer tweeted."We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then -- over and out. #wgastrong."
Ahead of season four's two-part release, the Duffer Brothers revealed that season five would be the beloved sci-fi series' final trip to the upside down. While a release date for season 5 has not been shared and will likely be pushed back due to the strike, the final season will likely follow the Hawkins kids as they try to defeat the Vecna once and for all.
