The stars of Stranger Things' fifth and final season

Stranger Things actor Randy Havens is setting the record straight amid claims that fans of the hit show are being deprived of more episodes of the hit series.

After the latest episodes of Stranger Things’ fifth and final season began streaming on Netflix last week, more than 250,000 fans have co-signed a petition calling for “unseen footage” from the show to be released.

The Change.org petition was inspired by a fan theory claiming that there was originally “more to the episodes” that viewers didn’t get to see “either due to Netflix or the team of Stranger Things cutting them”.

In their post, the petition’s creator lamented: “This has been a long 10-years process and this is what we get.

“They must have cut out a lot of scenes from volume 2 and from our loved characters. I believe we as fans should stand up and take the initiative to get the footage and make the decision.”

However, cast member Randy – who has played science teacher and mentor to the central gang Scott Clarke since the show’s inception – is now speaking out on the matter.
