Specific filming dates are not widely detailed in public sources, but production timelines generally span several months per season, often delayed by events like the COVID-19 pandemic for Seasons 4 and 5. Below is a comprehensive overview of filming locations and key production details for each season, drawn from various reliable sources. #strangerthings Season 1 (Filmed primarily in 2015, Released July 2016)
The inaugural season established the show’s 1980s aesthetic, focusing on Hawkins’ small-town vibe and supernatural elements. Principal photography occurred in and around Atlanta, chosen for its diverse landscapes and tax incentives. No major international filming was involved. #usa #london Key Filming Locations:
