David Harbour, Noah Schnapp, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton are among the primary "OG" cast members of Stranger Things.

Before the strike began cripts were finished, but the Duffer Brothers decided to delay shooting because they couldn't film without writers, executive producers, creators, and showrunners on set. The strike by actors further added to the delay.

"Stick the landing" is a significant goal for the final season, as Matt and Ross Duffer told Deadline last year.

¡°Characters are already going to be in action, they¡¯re already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that¡¯s going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this season feel really different,¡± Matt Duffer said at the time. ¡°I¡¯m sure the wrap-up will be a lot longer. It¡¯s going to be ¡®Return of the King¡¯-ish with, like, eight endings.¡±

What Is Stranger Things About?

The show, which is set in the 1980s, follows the people living in the made-up little town of Hawkins, Indiana, as they struggle with an evil other realm called the Upside Down. This dimension is connected to the outside world by a gateway that a neighboring facility that does human experimentation opens.
