Netflix, by far the largest video-on-demand streaming platform in the world, is at the center of some very bad news for fans who are eagerly awaiting the fifth season of the series Stranger Things, and this is because the production remains quite far away for the time being to be ready for initiation.
Netflix would refuse to pay the screenwriters working on Stranger Things the sums requested for the continuation of the production, so although the production for the fifth season was supposed to start in June, it seems that this is still very far from being achieved, after recently the main screenwriters they joined the strike of their colleagues.
The problems faced by Netflix are not exactly new, because in Hollywood there is a strike by screenwriters who demand to be paid much better for the work they do for the production of films and series, so that many productions are blocked at the moment for now, but maybe things will quickly change for the better.
For now, Netflix has not made it clear how quickly it intends to solve the problems with the screenwriters, but if the production for the 5th season of Stranger Things is to start in May, then it is necessary to conclude an agreement with those who are dissatisfied, otherwise the launch of the future season could be delayed.
The Duffers here. The writing doesn't stop when the filming starts. While we are excited to begin 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.
