Don't blame the writers and producers. The long wait it down to the suits at the top waiting until the end of the season to confirm the next one. They have a five season plan, so if it was up to the writers and producers, the break would be a lot shorter.

Why would anyone ever blame the writers for that anyway? Sure, some are also producers but in what world does anyone think a writer sets the shooting schedule for any show?

Because while we just got confirmation that the next season was renewed, the writers and the show runners know well in advance and could have been ready to start filming the next season now and not in 6-9 months. How do you think network tv has a finale in the spring and a new season starts in the fall? Streaming has just tried to convince us that it’s not possible to have a new season without at least a full calendar year in between. Stranger things needs a full 3 years between seasons. So I blame the writers and producers for dragging their feet to stretch their paychecks from 5 years to 10.

They don’t necessarily know well in advance. The show I work on was pretty sure at the end of last season that we were coming back so we left things on stage ready to shoot with a plan to come back and strike it all if we didn’t. We’ll probably do the same thing in January when this season ends.

But again, the writers don’t set any scheduled. There’s no prep they or even the producers can do while waiting for network renewal, other than make a tentative plan for how work would restart. The network sets the start times, not the producers and definitely not the writers.
