Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a brand-new stage show based on the Netflix original series that is coming to London this year.
The stage show doesn’t have a specific release date just yet, but will be held at the Phoenix Theatre, London, and will follow some familiar faces from the Netflix series, including a young Jim Hopper as the protagonist in 1959. Other characters like Joyce and Henry Creel will also be featured throughout the play.
The official website offers further details on the upcoming stage performance, including the premise of the story and the option to sign up for priority access to tickets when they go live. “Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries,” the description reads.
“Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously, and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy… and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.”
Artwork for the stage show featured on the website shows a young Henry Creel and the shadow of Stranger Things season 4’s villain, Vecna–who is played by Jamie Campbell Bower in the Netflix series.
“Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, who take theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to a whole new dimension, this gripping new adventure will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story–and may hold the key to the end.”
Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer have confirmed that season 5 will be the final one for the series.
