Broadway is getting a little stranger.

"Stranger Things: The First Shadow," a prequel based on smash-hit science fiction/horror Netflix television show, is coming across the pond.

The Olivier Award-winning production will start performances on Broadway on Friday, March 28, 2025, at the Marquis Theatre ahead of an opening night on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. It opened on the West End in London in November 2023.

"The First Shadow" is a new play by Kate Trefry, based on an original story by the Duffer Brothers, Jack Thorne and Trefry. It's brought to Broadway by Netflix and Sonia Friedman Productions. Directed by Stephen Daldry and co-directed by Justin Martin, cast will be announced at later date.

The play is described as occurring "before the world turned upside down."

"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," producers describe, promising "stunning special effects, extraordinary performances and a storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat."
