Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

The curly-haired dynamo of <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/">Stranger Things</a>, Dustin Henderson, is the glue that holds the gang together through the chaos of the Upside Down. His infectious grin and unshakeable loyalty made him a fan-favorite in the Stranger Things universe. With his walkie-talkie in one hand and a backpack full of determination, he stood strong by Eleven. Many were awaiting the actor behind that adorable face, Gaten Matarazzo, to return to their screens with the upcoming Season 5. But then tragedy struck Hollywood.
Caught in the web of the SAG-AFTRA strikes, many Netflix projects came to a standstill. And after seeing Matarazzo at a recent strike, fans are forced to wonder what fate has in store for Stranger Things now.
<h2>Gaten Matarazzo flaunts a big smile at NYC protest</h2>
While <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-three-theories-for-stranger-things-5-that-can-butcher-millie-bobby-browns-dream-ending/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fans are going wild, spinning theories</a> about the upcoming season’s arc, Matarazzo chose to step away from all that hype. Instead, the 20-year-old brought his toothy grin and infectious spirit out with him into the streets of New York. In a post to X by the official SAG-AFTRA account, the Honor Society actor is seen smiling for a picture at the strike.

Alongside his comrades from Hollywood, the Stranger Things actor stands in solidarity. The majority of fans support the actors who have halted their work to stand up for what they believe in, even if it means that the show&#8217;s iconic telekinetic escapades and Demogorgon dilemmas will have to wait.

Meanwhile, a recent update from a set of Stranger Things brought about a beacon of hope. Amidst all the delays caused by the strike, one thing has not stopped.
<h2>What is the update on Stranger Things Season 5?</h2>
While actors are restricted from rejoining Netflix projects, the OTT mogul has not entirely given up. A clip that showcased ongoing work at a shoot&#8217;s location surfaced on X recently. The caption explained that the “Downton Hawkins set” was being set up. This ignited hope for dismayed fans of <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/">Millie Bobby Brown</a>, whose upcoming flick Damsel was also delayed due to the strike.
