Netflix can now effectively bolster its streak of success as long-standing productions now have the SAG-AFTRA green light. At a time when One Piece is ascending to heights with plans on the long term being tabled, things are swiftly moving ahead on another of its in-house gems nearing completion. After months-long delays, work on Stranger Things season five is moving ahead in full swing.

Breaking the news to the fans is Jim Hopper actor, David Harbour. Although happy, he had a rather interesting update to share.

Netflix calls in David Harbour and the Hawkins cast to fast-track production

In what could have felt to be eons at a stretch, Stranger Things is back to be fresh on fans’ plates. Although pushed back by nearly half a year, Netflix is leaving no stone unturned to have the climactic season out and airing without a moment’s delay. Speaking of the adrenaline-kicking developments, David Harbour told People “They (Netflix) literally called me, I think it was 10 minutes after the SAG thing on Twitter.”

The rush on Netflix’s part is warranted, given the many loose ends they need to tie. The fifth season will not only seal its characters’ fates but will also lay the foundations for the upcoming spin-offs. Meanwhile, the Hawkins police chief actor himself had earlier vouched for the cast to “knock it out of the park”. Additionally, the claims also fall in line with producer, Shawn Levy’s tease of “cinematic storytelling” for the concluding season. Thus, no matter the date, fans are bound for an extravaganza by fate.

Incidentally, the calls for an epic season by Netflix and cast members fall in contrast to one of the lead actor’s feelings for the show.

Amid teases from all quarters, Millie Bobby Brown is ready to move away from Stranger Things

The 19-year-old actress was barely eleven years old when she was cast as Eleven in the Netflix fantasy. Ever since she has witnessed the humongous growth of not only Stranger Things but her personal career as well. However, just as the show is prepping the stage for her concluding face-off with Vecna, the artist is more ready than ever to say goodbye. Additionally, she also believes that the show was one of the factors preventing her further growth.

Evoking strong reactions from various quarters, including the show’s crew, Millie Bobby Brown still stood by her words. Furthermore, with big-ticket projects like Electric State alongside Chris Pratt, the actress is sure to move on. Regardless, the writers’ room for the show has teased several behind-the-scenes footage to be in the tow. Coupled with Harbour’s claims of a strong show tucks the fans well in for an exhilarating last ride.
