Netflix has recently announced the world premiere of ‘Stranger Things: The First Shadow‘, a new story live on stage, set to debut in 2023. The new production is based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers, the creators of the hit Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’. This announcement comes after months of speculation about what the Duffer Brothers have in store for the future of the franchise.
Based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne, and Kate Trefry, “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” is a new play written by Kate Trefry, and it will receive its world premiere in late 2023 at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End, directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin.Â
Straight from Netflix, Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. 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. 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.
The stage production is being produced by Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions. The play will go on sale this spring, details of which will be announced later this month. The Duffer Brothers act as creative producers, with 21 Laps as associate producer.Â
Matt and Ross Duffer said We are beyond excited about Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Collaborating with the brilliant Stephen Daldry has been nothing short of inspiring, and Kate Trefry has written a play that is at turns surprising, scary, and heartfelt. You will meet endearing new characters, as well as very familiar ones, on a journey into the past that sets the groundwork for the future of Stranger Things. We’re dying to tell you more about the story but won’t – it’s more fun to discover it for yourself. Can’t wait to see you nerds in London!
The series has garnered over 70 awards worldwide including Emmys and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and has been nominated for over 230 awards. Recently “Stranger Things” completed its record-breaking fourth season to huge acclaim, becoming the biggest premiere weekend ever for an English-language TV show on Netflix.
