Inside what the Stranger Things stars finally shared about the secret episode
Randy Havens, who plays Hawkins Middle School teacher Scott Clarke, has addressed the ongoing rumors about a so-called secret episode. On his Instagram story, he clarified that there is no hidden version of the show and urged people not to believe unverified claims circulating online.

This growing movement emphasizes fans’ desire for transparency and the chance to see a fuller version of Stranger Things season five, keeping the debate about missing footage alive even after Havens’ statement. The debate sparks curiosity about whether Netflix actually removed scenes.
Season five thrilled audiences with epic confrontations, but discussions arise over whether Netflix silently altered certain sequences, leaving mysteries only partially explored.
