Share

We’re still waiting for word on the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” on TV.

Meanwhile, a prequel play called “Stranger Things: First Shadow” in London’s West End has been a huge hit winning a lot of awards, is now offering tickets through the beginning of 2025.

Today, the live show dropped a trailer, which is pretty unusual. But “First Shadow” is a money machine, and they’re ramping up for a 2025 debut on Broadway.

Here’s the trailer, etc. Brace yourselves. BTW in London, it won the Olivier Award not for Best Play (come on) but Best Entertainment.
