Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a prequel set 24 years before the events of Netflix’s hit science fiction show Stranger Things, is coming to Broadway in 2025. The Olivier Award-winning production will begin previews on March 28 next year and will open on April 22 at the Marquis Theater, according to The New York Times. The lavish spectacle opened on the West End in London in November 2023 and was received quite well by the audience.
The First Shadow is a new play by Kate Trefry, based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Trefry. Like the Netflix series, it unfolds in the fictional town of Hawkins. The three-hour drama is directed by Stephen Daldry, a three-time Tony winner for The Inheritance, Billy Elliot, and An Inspector Calls. Taking on the co-direction responsibility is Justin Martin.
Netflix is heading the production with Sonia Friedman, a prominent Broadway and West End producer. The cast for the Broadway show will be announced at a later date.
