As the entertainment world buzzes with anticipation, fans are left to speculate about the next big reveal in one of television’s most beloved universes. The lines between stage and screen blur, with stories from the past and present intertwining in unexpected ways. Audiences are eager for any hint, any connection that might illuminate what comes next for the five-season-long Stranger Things, as creators and actors tease a deeper narrative unity between their projects.

There was only the Underworld to deal with up until now, but the eruption of clues from elsewhere has sparked interest like never before.

In a recent Deadline interview, Sadie Sink, star of both Stranger Things and the acclaimed Broadway play John Proctor Is The Villain, was pressed for details about the upcoming final season of the hit Netflix series. When asked if the play Stranger Things: The First Shadow contains any clues or connections to the fifth season, Sink responded, “It might. There are definitely some easter eggs I spotted for sure”. This cryptic confirmation has sparked a new wave of fan theories and excitement.

The Broadway play Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which serves as a prequel to the series, explores the origins of Henry Creel, later known as Vecna, and features key characters from the show as teenagers in the 1950s. Writer Kate Trefry has described the play as “part of the same story” as Season Five, emphasizing that both are deeply intertwined and that the play had to fit seamlessly into the established canon.

To be in the position that Sink can give out clues, a certain amount of expertise is called for. Expertise so far they had to be bulletproof.

In her Broadway play, John Proctor Is the Villain, Sink employs her character Shelby as a shield, preventing audience members who see her as Max Mayfield from affecting her performance. Sink uses the character to become a vessel, separating her own vulnerability from the role. She also enjoys the physical demands of stage work, which differ significantly from TV and film. Labelling this as a coping mechanism for the actress, a tool to protect herself.

With Season Five of Stranger Things set to premiere later in 2025 and the Broadway play still running, fans have more reasons than ever to revisit Hawkins and its mysteries. The promise of easter eggs and narrative links between the play and the show adds a new dimension to the viewing experience, as audiences eagerly await the final chapter in the saga and the full reveal of the story’s intricate web.
