The highly anticipated final season of the hit show “Stranger Things” is currently on hold, but executive producer assures fans that the aging of the principal cast won’t be an issue. Despite the passage of several years since the previous season wrapped production, Levy stated that the production team would do whatever it takes to minimize the apparent aging of the young actors.
In a recent interview with Deadline, Levy addressed the speculation around the use of AI to de-age the cast, clarifying that the show will rely on the talent and brilliance of the cast and the vivid characters created by the Duffer Brothers.

Season 5 of Stranger Things faced a production delay in May due to a writers’ strike, making it the second season to experience significant delays. The previous season was halted for months in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The exact timeline for the final season remains unknown as SAG-AFTRA negotiations continue for the resolution of its 111-day strike.
Levy expressed his eagerness to resume production, emphasizing his dedication as a fan of the show and his commitment to delivering a satisfying conclusion. However, he acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the resumption of production in the industry.
Aside from Stranger Things, Levy is also involved in the production of Deadpool 3. Both projects were put on hold and will require careful planning once the strike ends.
