Netflix Addresses ‘Stranger Things’ Secret Episode Theory After Series Finale
This article contains mild spoilers for Stranger Things season five.
No, there will be no more trips to the Upside Down.
Despite the online theory gaining continuous traction that Stranger Things season five did not actually come to an end with episode eight—and that instead there would be a surprise seventh episode released on Jan. 7 turning everything once again, well, upside down—Netflix has finally set the record straight.
As of the morning of Jan. 7, the bios for the official Stranger Things social media accounts read, “ALL EPISODES OF STRANGER THINGS ARE NOW PLAYING.”
So, despite the conviction of many fans that the series conclusion was almost too good to be true—in a movement dubbed Conformity Gate online—Stranger Things as we know it is, indeed, concluded.
But that doesn’t mean the Stranger Things universe is done. In fact, there are a number of spinoff projects in the works. Not only will a documentary titled One Last Adventure, chronicling the making of season five, release on Jan. 12, but there are two more projects heading fans’ way.
