Noah Schnapp, a star of Netflix's "Stranger Things," unintentionally revealed major spoilers about Season 5 during a recent episode of Hot Ones. The clip, which was quickly edited out, disclosed that Vecna is controlled by the Mind Flayer and hinted at details about his character Will Byers, specifically regarding the tunnels built under Hawkins following his possession in Season 1. While the connection between Vecna and the Mind Flayer had some basis in the Broadway play "Stranger Things: The First Shadow," it remains unconfirmed within the series itself. Fans reacted swiftly, capturing the unedited spoilers and sharing them across social media platforms. Netflix's swift editing suggests the platform's discomfort with these leaks, especially as the anticipated Season 5 approaches its release. The first four episodes dropped on November 26, followed by another batch on Christmas and the series finale on New Year's Eve.
