Stranger Things won't start filming until the strike is over

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

We have either a strike or a labor tag. I don't recall which.

Lol this show keeps getting sidelined but oh well.

They’re not ~visionaries~ like ✨💫James Cameron💫✨ realizing he needed to film the sequels together so that the kids wouldn’t look old af.

Yeah I was surprised when I saw that Gaten is already 20!!

Has there been any sign of the studios being willing to come back to the negotiating table?

This article sums up a bit of the negotiations, if you can call it that as of Monday.

No, because the studios are moving onto the next union and you know the producers' union will fold first and get the most money, then the actors and finally the WGA will have to take what they are given, because it's exactly how it happened in 2006 and it looks a lot like that year.
