It’s 7th January, so is a secret Stranger Things episode coming today?! Here’s the answer

The 7th January is finally here, and everyone wants to know if a secret Stranger Things episode is coming today after the whole Conformity Gate saga. So, here’s the answer.

After the finale aired on 27th December, a rumour emerged on TikTok claiming that it wasn’t actually the last episode, and a ninth one is coming on 7th January. People have been piecing together all sorts of  “evidence” that seemingly shows a secret episode is dropping today… but here’s the truth. Honestly, there’s no secret episode.

There’s literally no proof that a Stranger Things episode is coming at all. Every single bit of evidence is a massive reach and doesn’t prove anything.

Those countdown clocks? Fake. Dustin’s “conformity” speech? Literally doesn’t give anything away. The ambiguity of the finale? That’s the way the Duffer Brothers wanted it to be. It’s all just delusional people trying to convince themselves their favourite TV show isn’t over, when it is.

The official Netflix Stranger Things page has even seemingly responded to the rumours, changing its bio to say: “ALL EPISODES OF STRANGER THINGS ARE NOW PLAYING.” That’s all the proof you need.

Sorry guys, there’s no secret Stranger Things episode coming on 7th January. The creators have revealed a new documentary that explores behind-the-scenes of the final season though, so as least we have that to look forward to.
