Amid the ongoing writers’ strike, production on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things has been put on hold. However, fans were treated to a glimpse of what’s to come with the release of the first trailer for the stage production of Stranger Things: The First Shadow, set to premiere on London’s West End later this year. The teaser featured clips from previous seasons, but it was the tagline in the trailer that caught everyone’s attention: “The beginning of the Stranger Things story might hold the key to what comes next.”
A prequel to the series, The First Shadow takes viewers back to 1959 in Hawkins, Indiana, focusing on the arrival of the Creel family. In Season 4, the Creels were established as a significant part of the Stranger Things lore, and their story was revealed through flashbacks. The plot synopsis for The First Shadow reveals the challenges faced by the Creels and the lasting impact of the past.
The stage play was announced earlier this year, with the Duffer brothers serving as producers. Kate Trefry, a writer and producer for the series, penned the play, which will be directed by Stephen Daldry.
For fans in London, The First Shadow will provide a captivating experience while they await the final season of Stranger Things, which is still a couple of years away. As for the rest of the world, updates like the recent announcement of Linda Hamilton joining the Season 5 cast will have to suffice.
