Discover the new Joyce and Hopper from Stranger Things

Oscar Lloyd and Isabella Pappas will take the place of David Harbor and Winona Ryder.

While waiting for season 5 of Stranger Things which will take a long time to arrive (due to the current strike), Netflix has just revealed the full cast of Stranger Things: The First Shadowhis new play which will soon be performed in London.

It will take place in the 1950s, approximately 25 years before the events of season 1 of Stranger Things and will tell the story of Joyce and Hopper’s adolescence. Oscar Lloyd And Isabella Pappas will play the characters on stage, instead of David Harbor And Winona Ryder.

The story will remain in Hawkins, in 1959, an ordinary town with ordinary worries. “Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister doesn’t take his radio show seriously, and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and leave town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family discovers that “a new beginning is not so easy…and the shadows of the past last a long time.”

In the casting, Shane Attwooll will play Chief Hopper, Jim’s father, in office before him. Louis McCartney will be Henry Creel, brought to become Vecna. Chase Brown will play Lonnie Byers, Joyce’s future ex-husband, Christopher Buckley will play a young Bob, while Kemi Awoderu and Ammar Duffus will play Sue and Charles, Lucas’s parents. We will also see young versions of the parents of Mike and Nancy or Dustin. And then Patrick Vaill will be Dr. Brenner from the 50’s, taking Matthew Modine’s place.

Written by Kate Trefry from an original story she wrote with series creators the Duffer Brothers and Jack Thorne, and directed by Stephen Daldry, Stranger Things: The First Shadow will be launched at the Phoenix Theater in London on December 14.
