While we anxiously wait for news of the Stranger Things Season 5 release date, Netflix has released new Stranger Things content to tide fans over. Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things The First Shadow—which began streaming on Netflix today—is a new feature-length documentary that takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the production of Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a prequel play that first opened on London’s West End in December 2023, and is now playing on Broadway.
To be clear, this film on Netflix is a “making-of” documentary, and not a taping of the Stranger Things: The First Shadow production. But it’s nevertheless an interesting watch for fans of the series, as well as fans of live theater in general. It’s not easy to put on show-stopping productions eight nights a week, and this documentary gets into the nitty-gritty of the stress, blood, sweat, and tears that goes into live theater.
