Stranger Things' Randy Havens Sets Record Straight on Fan Theories About Secret Cut of Season 5

Actor Randy Havens refutes fan claims of hidden footage in Stranger Things Season 5 despite a petition with over 316,000 signatures demanding its release.

  • On Sunday, Randy Havens, the actor who plays Mr. Clarke, wrote on Instagram that `There's no secret Snyder cut of the show,` urging fans not to trust the viral claim.
  • A Change.org petition led by Wennii J calls on Netflix and the Duffer brothers to release `unseen footage` from Volume 2, fueled by a viral Google Doc alleging clipped scenes involving Will, Mike and Eleven.
  • On December 28 the petition update noted 100,000 signatures as social sharing accelerated, and by Monday the campaign had gathered more than 316,000 on Change.org.
  • Netflix did not immediately respond to an NBC News request and no other Stranger Things cast member had publicly commented, while Havens' Instagram message kept fans talking as the season concluded on Wednesday.
  • Given the season's mixed reception, highlighted by a 56% audience score, fans invoked the `Snyder Cut` precedent referencing Zack Snyder and Warner Bros.' Justice League release on HBO Max.
