Stranger Things: The First Shadow is not leaving Broadway anytime soon. The hit play, which has been thrilling audiences with its mix of suspense, mystery, and established characters for a long time, has been extended through late 2026. Those who have not seen it—or want to go back for another round—now have more chances to catch the action live.

Ticket details have been announced, so everyone can plan their visit. With its mix of scares, surprises, and unforgettable moments, The First Shadow is proving there is still plenty of gasoline left in its engine.

Stranger Things’ Broadway offering, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, has been officially extended through September 6, 2026, amid renewed interest surrounding the franchise’s final TV season. Additional tickets went on sale at 10 am ET on January 9. The stage play, for those unversed, debuted on London’s West End in 2023 before launching its Broadway run in April 2025, where it has since become one of the most in-demand productions.

Set in 1959, Hawkins, Indiana, the play explores the origin story of Vecna, focusing on teenage Henry Creel. It stars Louis McCartney in the villainous role, alongside Rosie Benton, Alex Breaux, Andrew Hovelson, Alison Jaye, T.R. Knight, Gabrielle Nevaeh, Burke Swanson, Juan Carlos, Ayana Cymone, Dora Dolphin, Ted Koch, and Eric Wiegand. Directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, the title has multiple Tony Awards to its name.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow dominated the 2025 Tony Awards, claiming four victories from six nominations.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow won Best Scenic Design of a Play for Miriam Buether and 59 Productions, Best Lighting Design of a Play for Jon Clark, Best Sound Design of a Play for Paul Arditti, and a Special Tony Award for Jamie Harrison, Chris Fisher, Gary Beestone, and Edward Pierce for the show’s groundbreaking illusions and technical effects at the last edition of the Tonys.

Even as the Netflix series concludes, the appeal of Stranger Things refuses to fade, proving that the story’s world can live on in alternate forms. With The First Shadow extending its Broadway run through late 2026, audiences have more time to immerse themselves in Hawkins’ mysteries and thrills. Between its Tony-winning spectacle and loyal fan following, the production continues to show that the Duffer Brothers' creation is not just a TV story; it is a cultural vehicle that keeps moving, carrying audiences along for the ride.
