Before Stranger Things Season 5 brings the long-running Netflix series to an end, fans in America will finally get a chance to see the stage play next year. Stranger Things: The First Shadow has officially set its Broadway debut for April 2025. And with the news came a fresh trailer for the play.
Stranger Things: The First Shadow opened in London’s West End in late 2023. Stephen Daldry directed the play, which serves as a prequel to the series. It features an original story by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child co-writer Jack Thorne, and Kate Trefry, who completed the script for the play.
The play is an origin story for Henry Creel set in the ’50s that reveals how he transformed into the show’s primary villain, Vecna. Additionally, the story follows James Hopper, Joyce Maldonado, and even the doomed Bob Newby from Stranger Things Season 2. The Duffer brothers have indicated that the events of the play may shed some light on things to come in the fifth season.
For now, it’s unclear if any of The First Shadow performers from the original production will reprise their roles on Broadway. The show will run at the Marquis Theatre in New York City on April 22, 2025, with preview performances starting nearly a month earlier on March 28, 2025. Stranger Things Season 5 will also premiere in 2025, but it doesn’t have a release date yet.
