Randy Havens, known for his role in Stranger Things, has responded to fan requests for Netflix to release extra footage from season 5. Rumors have been circulating about deleted scenes, and Havens has now addressed those claims.
I heard from Joe Havens, who plays Mr. Clarke, that they’re not holding anything back this time around – all the mysteries are going to be explored! He basically promised we’ll get all the answers we’re looking for.
Havens announced in a now-deleted Instagram Story that fans will get the complete story the Duffer Brothers originally planned.

The actor clarified that there isn’t a longer, alternate version of the show, similar to Zack Snyder’s four-hour cut of the 2017 film Justice League, which was eventually released in 2021.
“Please don’t believe everything some random ass tells you on the internet.”

This season, Mr. Clarke is more involved in the action, alongside Karen Wheeler – Nancy, Mike, and Holly’s mom, who famously fought off a Demogorgon with a wine bottle in the first part of the season.
The teacher played a key role in finding Dustin when he was trapped in the Upside Down, and this experience finally opened his eyes to the strange things happening in Hawkins. He was also involved in a conversation with Erica that hinted at the existence of wormholes.

The latter part of the season reveals a lot about the Upside Down and the backstory of Henry Creel, also known as Vecna and One, while also showing some touching scenes with the friends in Hawkins.
The show’s fast pace in volume 2 led some viewers to believe that a lot of footage was cut before the final release.
With a new trailer just released for the very last episode, fans of Stranger Things have started a petition asking for the “Duffers’ cut” – an alternate version of the show. As of today, the petition has over 350,000 signatures, and it highlights concerns about the show’s writing.
We need explanations! The long wait for this season makes it crucial that we get them,” said the person who started the petition, Wennii J.
Fans feel they deserve to have some influence over the direction of the show, and many are disappointed that it didn’t meet their hopes.
The petition ended by stating they want Stranger Things to be remembered fondly, and not dismissed as a show that failed because of poor writing.
The latest season of Stranger Things began streaming on Christmas Day with the release of its first three episodes. The final episodes will arrive on New Year’s Eve, or early New Year’s Day for viewers in Europe and some other regions.
The latest issue of Living Legends magazine is now available, and it’s a special tribute to Dolly Parton! You can find ‘Dolly at 80’ in shops that sell magazines or order it online for only £8.99.
