Netflix reports Season 4 of StrangerThings was 'more financially impacted' by the pandemic than any other show:
Stranger Things 4 had just started production when COVID-19 turned things Upside Down. In mid-March 2020 — after just two weeks of filming on the anticipated fourth season of its flagship series — streamer Netflix announced it was suspending all film and television production for a precautionary two-week period due to the pandemic. After months of production delays, the season resumed filming in November 2020, not wrapping until September 2021.
"That show, in particular, was affected as much as any [by COVID] because of the young cast, and the size and scope of the production, and multiple locations we shot it in. It was a very expensive burden to deliver it," Sarandos explained.
In April, the Wall Street Journal reported Stranger Things 4 had a per-episode cost of $30 million, doubling the big-budgeted final season of HBO hit Game of Thrones.
