Now in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Shawn Levy explained that security has had to be ramped up for the filming on new episodes, with the crew having “literally consulted with the producers on Game of Thrones” to learn how to get security protocol just right.
Levy said: “We had no security protocols last season and we have extensive security protocols this season. I can’t speak about what they are because then people could crack them. We protect every story point, every page of every script.”
Co-creator Ross Duffer added: “I just knew I used to throw my sides away and now they have to be burnt,” whilst actress Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven in the series said: “Now we have a code name. And now I have a code name! It’s this weird thing. On the call sheets our names are across it and if we lose it, we’re dead.”
Despite the radio silence, some small tidbits of information have been revealed, such as a slew of new characters that will be coming to the series including Sean Astin, Dacre Montgomery, Sadie Sink and Paul Reiser.
