It’s officially Stranger Things Day today. Netflix has commenced the celebration with an exclusive sneak peek into the much-awaited play Stranger Things: The First Shadow.

As season 5 of Stranger Things has been delayed by the ongoing strike, fans are awaiting the Stranger Things Play to satisfy their anticipation. With the writers assuring that the play will contain hints and clues related to season 5, they can now get a glimpse into what the final season might hold.

A new behind-the-scenes clip from the play has been released. In the clip, Duffer Brothers are discussing their upcoming production, Stranger Things: The First Shadow. This theatrical production will delve into young Henry Creel and his connections to characters like Jim Hopper, Joyce Byers, and Bob Newby.

The play will also introduce a new character, Patty Newby (portrayed by Ella Karuna Williams), who happens to be Bob’s sister. The writer Kate Trefry says that the play tells the love story between Henry and Patty.

Devoted Stranger Things fans know that Henry Creel ultimately transformed into Vecna. The First Shadow will likely explain why he turned evil and how he got his powers.
