The critically acclaimed Stranger Things prequel show has received a huge update on its finale. Details about the Broadway show’s final run have been revealed.
When are the final shows for Stranger Things: The First Shadow?
Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a prequel to Netflix‘s blockbuster TV series that witnessed its final season last year in December. The Olivier and Tony Award-winning play is written by Kate Trefry, who developed an original story in collaboration with the Duffer Brothers and Jack Thorne. The show has also received the Critics’ Circle Awards for Best Set Design and Most Promising Newcomer, and the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Play.
In the latest announcement, it’s been confirmed that Stranger Things: The First Shadow has been extended for a final run. The Broadway play will conclude at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End on 27 December 2026 and at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway on 3 January 2027.
Since its debut at Broadway’s Marquis Theatre, The First Shadow has become a box office success. It has sold almost 1.6 million tickets across the West End and Broadway, with more than 1,500 total performances. The play marked a unique collaboration between theater and television. It’s been Netflix’s first foray into theater and has managed to attract Stranger Things fans and theatergoers in large numbers.
The Duffer Brothers expressed their happiness following the play’s astounding success. “When the legendary Stephen Daldry first came to us with the idea of making a Stranger Things play, we were stunned — both by the fact that Stephen wanted to do this, and that he believed it could work. And boy, did it work.”
The play was directed by Stephen Daldry alongside co-director Justin Martin. Miriam Buether is the set designer, while Brigitte Reiffenstuel is the costume designer.
Netflix has already revealed that Stranger Things: The First Shadow play will eventually be released for streaming. However, an official date hasn’t been announced yet.
