It will feature younger versions of key characters, including Joyce Byers, Jim Hopper, Bob Newby and Henry Creel (aka Vecna). Netflix says The First Shadow "will take you right back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story — and to the beginning of the end." That suggests the play will tie into the show's <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/stranger-things-season-4-vol-1-2-release-date-165629578.html">fifth and final season[/url], which doesn't have a release window as yet.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="23c09605693d4d0f86773feb16a68e6f"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Welcome to Hawkins, 1959.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow. A new story live on stage.

Trefry wrote the play, which is being directed by Tony and Emmy winner Stephen Daldry. Tickets will go on sale this spring and Netflix says those who register at <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://uk.strangerthingsonstage.com/">the play's website[/url] will jump to the front of the line.</p><p>Netflix has already expanded Stranger Things to several other mediums, including <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/stranger-things-vr-game-coming-from-netflix-091242862.html">games[/url], <a data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2018-06-18-netflix-dark-horse-stranger-things-comics-will-upside-down.html">comics[/url], <a data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2018-06-08-stranger-things-novel-tell-story-elevens-mother.html">novels[/url] and a <a data-i13n="cpos:10;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/stranger-things-drive-into-experiencce-054937764.html">drive-thru experience[/url]. The First Shadow is the company's first live stage production. It remains to be seen, however, if a filmed version of the play will hit the streaming service at some point so those who can't make it to London (or, perhaps, Broadway) can see it.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/netflixs-stranger-things-stage-play-will-debut-later-this-year-152919732.html?src=rss
