New details have emerged from a casting call for the StrangerThings stage play, and they're giving us major HellCheer vibes.
When the hit Netflix series Stranger Things Season 4 dropped Volume 2, within the first month, the latest season surpassed a billion views. Shortly after the emotional lead-up to the final fifth season, Matt and Ross Duffer – the creators of the sci-fi series—announced their plan to launch their own production company, Upside Down Pictures. One of the many projects set to run under the banner was a stage play, and very recently a casting breakdown revealed new details of what fans can expect.
Along with a slew of other projects unrelated to the series, the stage play is said to be set in the Stranger Things universe, based on the Duffer mythology. At the time it was announced, very little was disclosed, though they did share that the play had tapped multi-Tony Award-winner Stephen Daldry to direct and produce, with Sonia Friedman and Netflix producing, and 21 Laps as Associate Producer.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY When a casting breakdown went up recently, we snagged a few more details to speculate over, and we’re not exactly saying Hellcheer, we’re just saying it’s giving vibes. The casting call posted is for two characters, currently under the names George Smith and Betty Olsen, both 14 years old. George is described as a “moody and pale” outcast, while Betty is the daughter of a preacher and a “goody two-shoes” who can’t believe she’s falling for the school’s outcast.
What else can we expect from Upside Down Pictures? Upside Down Pictures, formed by the Duffer Brothers, launched as part of the creators’ overall deal with Netflix. The banner is run by Ozark executive producer, Hilary Leavitt, and, according to Deadline, will produce for “stories that take place at that beautiful crossroads where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, where big spectacle co-exists with intimate character work, where heart wins out over cynicism.
In the meantime, you can rewatch or catch up on the full four seasons of Stranger Things, available to stream on Netflix.
