Maya
Hawke
has
an
update
that
will
turn
your
frown
upside
down.
The
Stranger
Things
actress
shared
that
part
of
the
reason
season
five
of
the
hit
Netflix
series
is
taking
so
long
to
film
is
the
hefty
length
of
each
episode.
“We’re
making,
basically,
eight
movies,”
Maya
explained
during
the
June
27
episode
of
Penn
Badgley‘s
Podcrushed
podcast. “The
episodes
are
very
long.”
Still,
the
Do
Revenge
star—who
is
daughter
to
Ethan
Hawke
and
Uma
Thurman—acknowledged
that
show
creators
Matt
Duffer
and
Ross
Duffer‘s
workflow
also
plays
a
role
in
the
three-year
wait
between
the
fourth
and
fifth
installment.
“Our
showrunners,
Matt
and
Ross,
take
a
lot
of
responsibility,”
Maya
continued. “They
have
an
amazing
team
of
writers,
but
they’re
very
involved.”
Noting
that
the
Duffer
Brothers
are “very
intense
and
serious”
about
the
writing
quality,
the
25-year-old
explained, “It
takes
a
long
time
to
write
each
season,
and
it
takes
a
long
time
to
shoot
them.”
