As the SAG-AFTRA strike<\/a> continues, and Stranger Things<\/a> remains unable to film for now, fans continue to wonder about how the show will address its young actors\u2019 visible ageing between seasons.<\/p>\n

The last run ended on a major cliffhanger, with many of the characters still aged around 15. The actors are now predominantly in their 20s.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Variety<\/a>, executive producer Shawn Levy said that the team would \u201cuse all the tools available to us\u201d to make the actors look younger, with some inferring that digital de-ageing would be utilised to achieve the effect.<\/p>\n

However, speaking with Deadline<\/a>, Levy confirmed this was not the case, saying: \u201cNo, I kind of was surprised that one sentence I said around this topic travelled so widely.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThe bottom line is, we know what we\u2019re doing on this show. Our cast is brilliant.
