The #1 original show on Netflix, Stranger Things, is currently hiring extras and actors in Atlanta, Georgia.

Stranger Things has been a runaway hit for Netflix since it debuted a few years ago. One of several Atlanta-filmed Netflix shows, the Stranger Things franchise has also brought attention to some local filming attractions like Gwinnett Place Mall.

Where Is Stranger Things 5 Being Filmed?

The latest installment of Stranger Things is once again being done in metro Atlanta, which is where much of the pre-production and production takes place as well.

Georgia has been the mecca of movie-making for more than a decade now with generous tax breaks given to the industry.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

“STRANGER THINGS” IS SET IN THE 1980S – SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU UPLOAD A CURRENT SELFIE WITH TODAY’S DATE ON A PIECE OF PAPER. WE NEED TO SEE EXACTLY HOW YOUR HAIR/FACIAL HAIR LOOKS FOR HAIR/MAKEUP PURPOSES. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THIS SHOW, WE ASK:

MALES : PLEASE DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR OR SHAVE YOUR SIDEBURNS BETWEEN NOW AND FILMING

FEMALES : WE ASK FOR YOUR HAIR COLOR TO BE A NATURAL COLOR. SHORTER STYLES, LAYERS AND BANGS ARE GREAT! PLEASE ALSO NO ARTIFICIAL NAILS OR BRIGHT COLORED NAILS. NO EXTREMELY LONG NAILS. TRY TO STICK TO AS NATURAL AND NEUTRAL AS POSSIBLE. THE FRENCH MANICURE WAS VERY POPULAR AND THE “CHICLET” STYLE (SQUARED OFF) FOR LENGTH – SO THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE STYLE.

When Is The Netflix Release Date For Stranger Things Season 5?

The release date for Stranger Things 5 has been pushed back repeatedly and it now looks like spring 2025 is the soonest it will come to Netflix for streaming.

Given how much work needs to be done and the casting calls that have extended late into the year, the summer of 2025 may be a real possibility as well.
