It’s only been a few days since the final episodes of Stranger Things were released, and while many viewers enjoyed the ending created by the Duffer brothers, some fans were disappointed. This dissatisfaction has led to a strange conspiracy theory – fitting for a show inspired by Dungeons & Dragons – that suggests there’s a hidden episode which is the true ending to the series. This theory, dubbed “Conformity Gate,” gained traction this morning when Netflix released a new Stranger Things trailer, seemingly fueling the speculation.
Netflix released a new trailer on Monday, and the accompanying image showed the cast of Stranger Things playing Dungeons & Dragons – a scene from the show’s finale. The image simply said “Official Trailer,” leading many fans to think Netflix had accidentally released a sneak peek of a secret, extra episode. However, while this “One Last Adventure” trailer was an unexpected release, it’s likely fans hoping for a new episode will be let down – the footage appears to be a compilation of existing scenes.
Netflix Drops New Stranger Things Trailer, But Not for the Secret Episode
Netflix released a trailer today revealing a special treat for Stranger Things fans this week: a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the final season. Instead of new episodes, viewers will get One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 Documentary, which arrives next Monday, January 12th. The documentary promises to show everything from the initial ideas and writing process to the actual filming and finishing of the last season of the popular show.
The trailer features compelling clips, including emotional scenes with the cast. It also promises behind-the-scenes access to the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, and executive producer Shawn Levy. At one point, the Duffers hint at discussions about Eleven’s storyline, suggesting the documentary will reveal story ideas that didn’t make the final cut – something fans who wanted a different outcome will likely find fascinating.
The most remarkable thing about the “One Last Adventure” trailer is how successfully it fooled people. The comments section is full of fans who genuinely believed the “Conformity Gate” conspiracy was real, and many watched a significant portion of the trailer hoping it was true. One popular comment reads, “You know everyone had a heart attack,” while another user admitted they initially thought it was a trailer for the ninth episode. Even those who didn’t buy into “Conformity Gate” confessed to being briefly misled, with one person writing that their “heart dropped” when they saw the word “TRAILER” and the thumbnail, thinking it was the hidden episode – even though they hadn’t believed the conspiracy in the first place.
The current story of Stranger Things has come to a close, but the world isn’t quite finished. Netflix is still planning a spinoff series and an animated show set to launch this year. Next week, fans can get a final look behind the scenes with the premiere of One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, a documentary about the making of the final season.
