Those left disappointed by Stranger Things season 5 are still holding out hope that a secret final episode is on the way, thanks to a new ConformityGate theory that... revolves around Balatro for some reason.
Over on Twitter, a fan named @seaweedpenumbra pointed out that the roguelike card game's name can be seen written on a writers' room whiteboard in behind-the-scenes season 5 documentary One Last Adventure. They also drew attention to the fact that Netflix's 2026 promos have so far been centered on tarot, and that the streamer already made reference to Balatro in 'Hotel Reverie', the third episode of Black Mirror season 7. (If you're not familiar with the show, then it's worth mentioning here that said episode centers on an actress who "enters" into an old movie and rewrites the ending to suit her own interests).
