The New Mexico Film Office today announced that Stranger Things, the popular Netflix television series, has begun filming in New Mexico. Season 4 of the series is produced by Monkey Massacre Productions & 21 Laps Entertainment and filming will take place through the end of August 2021 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events.
Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested, and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever.
Stranger Things was created by The Duffer Brothers and is produced by Monkey Massacre Productions & 21 Laps Entertainment. The Duffer Brothers serve as executive producers on the series, alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps Entertainment, and Iain Paterson.
The production is employing approximately 325 New Mexico crew members, 70 New Mexico principal cast members, and 700 New Mexico background and extras.
