Even though Stranger Things season 5 starts filming in May, the series is already making a comeback. It is said. Netflix announces the prequel, not as TV fiction, but as a play.
The information is surprising and exciting to say the least as it explores the teenage years of the adult characters and more specifically the origin of Henry Creel, also known as Vecna.
The work, titled The First Shadow – the first shadow in French – was written by Kate Trefry, the screenwriter of the original series, and the Duffer brothers, the creators of the program.
