Since May 2023, and especially since July 2023, most of Hollywood has been shut down, halting all upcoming Netflix projects in their various stages of development. With the strikes seemingly over, things are returning to normal as films and series look to start or restart production.
Please note that this list is subject to change. Things are pretty smooth now with production starting, since everyone is clamoring to get back into production at once, and so many things have to be set up to get things moving.
- Aurora – Director Kathryn Bigelow’s new film is scheduled to begin production in early 2024.
- Cobra Kai (Season 6) – Early 2024 TBD – Filming was originally scheduled to begin in Atlanta the day after the writer’s strike began in May 2023.
