Stranger Things to resume filming this month

The process of resuming film and TV productions during the pandemic has been a slow and tentative one. Despite increased safety measures and the creation of “bubbles” on set, some productions have still been hit by cases of COVID-19—like Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which was forced to once again shut down production just days after resuming in London, when a crew member (reportedly Robert Pattinson) tested positive for the virus. The team behind Stranger Things seems prepared to weather the risk, however, as Dread Central reports that Netflix is planning to resume production on season four of the series later this month in Georgia, with a tentative start date of September 28. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 death toll reached 200,000 in the U.S. over the weekend.
