Stranger Things fans are once again spiraling into full conspiracy mode after a viral theory claimed the hit Netflix series secretly ended with a fake finale. The rumor suggested the show was hiding a surprise ninth episode that would reveal the “real” ending of the story—but Netflix has officially shut that idea down.

The number seven also has meaning on “Stranger Things” because a die with the number seven facing up can be seen at the end of final episode to the right of a “Stranger Things” player manual. Noah Schnapp’s character also rolls a seven while playing “Dungeons & Dragons” in the show’s first episode in the first season.

The Stranger Things Documentary has several shots where a laptop has a generative AI tab open. The studio has been adamant it is simply an oversight.

At the end of the day, no matter how profound our feelings are towards certain television shows and characters, it’s important to remember to take a breather every now and again, log off for a bit even, and remember that comedy has been making fun of the things we love since forever. In fact, that’s kind of the whole point.

While the alternate finale episode did not come out on January 7 as fans had hoped and doesn’t actually exist, social media users are still debriefing on what transpired

"End of Beginning" has experienced a revival in popularity that has seen it surge to the top of the Billboard Global 200 chart.

A clip shown in the Stranger Things documentary has fueled speculation among fans that the Duffer brothers used ChatGPT when writing the final scripts. Now, One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, director Martina Radwan has weighed in and is shutting down the theories.

“Stranger Things” has a large cast with almost 15 season regulars to follow. The creators of "Stranger Things," Matt and Ross Duffer, have been unwilling to cut any of the cast, leading to challenges in making screen time for all of them. Character relationships that were set up to be explored in the final season were cast aside.

Finn Wolfhard, who played Mike Wheeler on the fan-favorite series, made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live on Jan. 17. His castmates and IRL close friends, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin, made surprise appearances during his monologue and sketches. But where were Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp?
