What’s The Fan Theory About The Ending Of ‘Stranger Things’?
Several fan theories have been circulating on social media since season 5 was announced to be the last one. However, there’s this one theory in particular that has gained the most traction among the show’s followers.
Most fans believe that the events of the show will turn out to be a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The game also holds significance in the show as the characters are shown to be particularly fond of it during the initial few seasons.
However, amid all the speculation and anticipation as the fans gear up for the end of ‘Stranger Things‘, the Duffer Brothers recently clarified that the end of the show will not align with the Dungeons and Dragons theory.

In a recent interview with Metro at the premiere of ‘Stranger Things: The First Shadow‘ play, the Duffer Brothers quashed the theory. They did not give it away directly though. One of the Duffer Brothers, Matt, jokingly played along. “That is correct. That is the ending,” he said.
However, he followed the comment up with a straightforward “no“. The other Duffer brother Ross took over. “That would be the equivalent of, ‘That’s all a dream.’ No, I assure you that is not how we’re going to end the show,” he said.
With that, the fans are back into suspense. The Duffer Brothers’ comments have left a breeding ground for more speculations to gain traction. More fan theories will likely surface on social media after this.
