The development of Stranger Things season 5 is being delayed due to the ongoing Writer's Guild of America (WGA) strike, according to a tweet by the show's creators, the Duffer Brothers.
The strike began after the WGA failed to come to an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers over issues such as streaming residuals and contract terms. The Duffer Brothers expressed their hope for a resolution to the strike so that production could resume. The next chapter of the popular sci-fi horror series was expected to be the final season, featuring an epic battle between the people of Hawkins and the forces of the Upside Down.
The show joins a growing list of major TV productions affected by the strike, with picketing taking place outside major studios in Los Angeles and New York City. Top creators have also shared their support for the strike online
