Many Stranger Things fans are concerned about the aging of the show’s young cast members, but executive producer Shawn Levy has a plan.
If it feels like the final season of Stranger Things has been in progress for years upon years, well, that's because it has. Series creators the Duffer Brothers confirmed that the show's fifth season would be its last all the way back in February 2022, and revealed that writers had blocked out the season's plot by fall 2022. However, production on season 5 has been delayed because of Hollywood's writers strike and the still-ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
“We've already watched the cast of our show grow up in the public eye, and between 12 and 22, every human being changes profoundly,” he told Variety, adding that the show will rely primarily on the good old-fashioned power of hair and makeup to de-age the main cast versus digital time travel in the form of heavy CGI. 'This passage of time is definitely not helping… that being said, our hair and makeup and wardrobe department are pretty exceptional, using costumes and wigs and makeup.
