Date:

Once ‘Stranger Things‘ starts filming again, there will be new rules including hiring fewer background actors.

However, new rules and regulations will be created once production starts. These new rules include limiting the number of background actors. In addition, extras will be expected to wear personal protective equipment and take safety training courses. Also, there will be temperature checks and hand sanitizer readily available.

“As of June 4, today, we do not have any information when Netflix will start up production again,” the Facebook status update says. “However, when we do, several things will change with casting. First, scenes will be much smaller, so that means less extras. There will be strict protocols when we come back: testing, temperatures will be taken at the door, hand sanitizer will be readily available. We will go to paperless vouchers. Extras will be expected to wear PPE and take safety training courses. Hang in there. I know it is frustrating for all of us. We will get back to normal I promise.”
