Stranger Things, Netflix's iconic series that has captivated millions, is finally gearing up for its fifth and final season—set to premiere later this year. However, that’s not the only surprise in the works for fans! Netflix has just unveiled an exciting trailer for **Stranger Things: The First Shadow**, a prequel Broadway play debuting this spring.

The play, set in 1959, serves as a deep dive into the origins of the beloved series and the mysterious Upside Down. The newly released trailer showcases intricate details, including the incredible design of the Demogorgon, stunning stage effects, and haunting prosthetics that bring the eerie world of Stranger Things to life on stage.

To celebrate the production, Netflix also announced the upcoming documentary **Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things The First Shadow**, premiering on April 15th, which offers fans an insider look into the making of this theatrical phenomenon. Tickets for both the Broadway play and the West End production are available now at [strangerthingsonstage.com](http://strangerthingsonstage.com).

In a joint statement, creators Matt and Ross Duffer expressed their excitement, stating, "Collaborating with the brilliant Stephen Daldry has been nothing short of inspiring. Kate Trefry has written a play that is at turns surprising, scary, and heartfelt. Fans can expect to meet new, endearing characters alongside familiar ones as we explore the past that sets up the future of Stranger Things. We can’t wait for you to experience it for yourselves!"

Sonia Friedman, a producer on the project, added, "The Duffer Brothers have cultivated a massive global audience, and the creative team has leveraged that imaginative world to create an enthralling theatrical experience. For now, the West End will be the sole venue hosting this new story, and we can’t wait to welcome fans into the theater!"
