The 'Bylers' and 'Milevens' believe a new secret ending for 'Stranger Things' is happening. They need to give up the ghost.

Naples fans of the popular " Stranger Things " Netflix series enjoyed a surprise ending they weren't expecting. After the final episode aired New Year's Day at Regal Naples, star Millie Bobby Brown walked into the theater. She plays Eleven, or El, in the series that just wrapped up its fifth and final season.

Prior to its return, Netflix confirmed that season five would consist of eight episodes, but with a theory known as 'Conformity Gate' emerging on social media, whispers of a top-secret ninth episode have been spreading across fan pages on Facebook and TikTok.

Fans speculated about a Stranger Things finale on 12 January — but Netflix confirms a behind‑the‑scenes documentary instead.

Some fans argue that finale was intentionally misleading, pointing to what they see as narrative inconsistencies.
