A cast member, Maya Hawke, also gave an update on the production of the Netflix series. According to Deadline, she said the following:

“Our showrunners Matt and Ross have a lot of responsibility. They have a fantastic writing team, but they are very dedicated. They write a lot and care a lot about the quality of what they’re shooting. It takes a long time to write each season and it takes a long time to shoot it.

“We’re basically making eight films. The episodes are very long.”

She confirmed that it would take a year to shoot the entire eight-episode season for the fifth season of Stranger Things.

The premiere date for the return of the Netflix series will be announced later.
