After a decade of ups, downs, and years of waiting between seasons, Stranger Things has drawn to a close. The juggernaut of a Netflix series aired its final episodes over the course of the recent holiday season, culminating in a massive episode, released both online and in theaters on New Year’s Eve.
But depending on who you ask, the show might not be truly over. In the aftermath of the New Year’s Eve episode, a theory dubbed #ConformityGate has grown among Stranger Things fans online. It argues that the events of the recent final episode are actually a massive illusion brought to life by Vecna, and that Season 5 still has some sort of secret episode on the way to actually culminate things.
