STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW TO CLOSE IN LONDON AND NEW YORK

Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the stage prequel to Netflix's television series Stranger Things, will close its London and New York productions this winter. The show was created by the Duffer Brothers, who developed the original Netflix series. The West End and Broadway runs will both end within the same season. The production has sold more than 1.5 million tickets across its run.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a theatrical prequel set in the world of the Netflix series. The show opened in London's West End before expanding to Broadway in New York. The production marked a significant extension of the Stranger Things franchise beyond its television origins. Combined ticket sales of more than 1.5 million represent a substantial audience across both cities.

The simultaneous closure of both the London and New York productions marks the end of the show's theatrical run on two continents. No further productions have been confirmed in the source material. The closures bring to a conclusion a stage venture that brought the Stranger Things world to live theatre audiences in two of the world's major entertainment capitals. The Duffer Brothers' prequel story will no longer be running on either the West End or Broadway following this winter's final performances.
