Stranger Things is reportedly preparing to head back to production, with the team aiming to resume filming from September 28 onwards.
Stranger Things had been in the early stages of filming Season Four when Netflix suspended film and TV production on account of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This was back on March 13, at the height of the pandemic.
The date of September 28 was reported by Deadline, with shooting reportedly hoped to resume on this date in Georgia.
Of course, given the current global health crisis, that date is believed to be tentative and could well be subject to change.
Prior to filming being suspended, the Duffer Brothers confirmed the return of beloved Hawkins Police Department Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour), whose fate was left very much up in the air at the end of season three.
Announcing the start of production back on February 14, the showrunners revealed:
Although it’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other.
Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything.
[…] Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more. In the meantime — pray for the American.
The writers have reportedly finished writing the season, sharing pictures on social media of a tantalizing pile of scripts. It’s thought that the screenwriting process was wrapped up back in mid-June, with the show thought to be bringing eight episodes in total.
Harbour will be making his much longed for return alongside Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke and Winona Ryder.
Netlix has not yet made a public comment about when exactly filming for season four will resume.
The release date for season four of Stranger Things has yet to be announced. You can catch up with seasons one to three of Stranger Things on Netflix now.
