People watching “Stranger Things” on Netflix are puzzled again because a new episode is showing up with a label. This has led fans to wonder if there’s a hidden ninth episode that hasn’t been announced.
Fans are getting confused with Stranger Things’ ‘new episode’ label
Some Netflix viewers were confused when they saw a “new episode” tag next to Stranger Things, even though no new episodes have actually been released. This led people to think there was fresh content available, causing discussion online.
Many viewers on X (formerly Twitter) noticed that despite the claims, the episode count and length hadn’t changed. One person tweeted that Netflix almost made them think the new season was actually available, referencing the hashtag #confirmitygate.
People noticed Netflix released new episodes of Stranger Things, but quickly realized they were just the last ones. One user joked they almost thought a new episode had dropped, referencing the way Netflix labels things to encourage binge-watching.
Someone posted online that they saw a notification about a new episode of Stranger Things on Netflix and briefly thought it was the rumored ninth episode related to the “Conformitygate” hoax. It turned out to be a false alarm.
The buzz around a possible ninth episode of Stranger Things Season 5 is growing, especially after Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Vecna, appeared on The Tonight Show. He briefly said the line “tomorrow it begins” as Vecna, which immediately sparked a lot of fan speculation.
The video quickly spread on Reddit, where one user urged people to find the series online and hinted at a hidden ninth episode coming soon. This renewed speculation that the New Year’s Eve finale wasn’t the end of the show, with some fans predicting a surprise release of the ninth episode on January 7th.
However, those claims were publicly dismissed by Stranger Things actor Randy Havens on Instagram.
