Stranger Things season 5 development is officially being delayed due to the ongoing writer's strike, with creators the Duffer Brothers confirming it.
As more and more creatives take to protesting for better wages, Stranger Things season 5 becomes the latest show to be delayed due to the Writer's Guild of America strike. The next chapter of the hit Netflix sci-fi horror series is set to be the finale as the people of Hawkins prepare for one more epic battle against Vecna and the forces of the Upside Down. Production of Stranger Things season 5 was expected to begin later this year, though looks to be encountering a hurdle.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Just a few days after it kicked off, the Duffer Brothers took to the official Stranger Writers Twitter account to announce that Stranger Things season 5 is being delayed due to the WGA writer's strike. The creators expressed their hopes for a deal to be reached so they could resume production, but that that it is "not possible during this strike.
How The Writer's Strike Is Affecting Major TV Productions Stemming from the guild's concerns about streaming residuals, artifical intelligence being used to replace their jobs and wanting requirements for more specific terms in contracts to prevent being shorted on pay, the WGA officially declared strike on May 2 when they failed to come to an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

On the other side of things, some studios and productions have been able to forge ahead in spite of the strike, including Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2, HBO's House of the Dragon season 2 and Disney+'s Andor season 2, among others.
