Dustin from Stranger Things shared a fan theory six years ago that predicted everything that happened in the Season 4 finale.
STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 SPOILERS
A clip of Dustin from Stranger Things from six years ago is taking the actor out of context as he is sharing a fan theory. The theory is about the other psychically gifted children outside of Eleven and how the fans think most of them are dead but some may have been banished to the Upside Down where they would eventually become monsters. This might sound familiar… because it describes exactly what happens in Season 4.
However, the clip below was taken out of context from a larger interview and now, many are attributing the clip to Gaten Matarazzo spoiling the show years ago when in actuality he was just sharing a frighteningly accurate fan theory. This may have something to do with how the Youtube clip was titled:
“Gaten Spoiled Stranger Things season 4 ending years ago and no one noticed..”
The full clip, with all of the necessary context provided, reveals that the interviewer was asking each of the cast members about their favorite fan theories. Dustin then proceeds to read off the fan theory and now, six years later, it turns out to be on the money. Gaten and this unknown fan were so good at predicting what would happen in the show that people think Gaten had insider knowledge on the future events and was spoiling it.
Stranger Things Season 4 isn’t quite done yet though, with two final episodes coming on July 1st. The Duffer Bros have been heavily teasing what is to come in these gargantuan episodes.

“The final episode has more FX shots than the entirety of Season 3,” co-creator Matt Duffer told Empire.
For those who don’t know, the first seven episodes of Stranger Things Season 4, which were released on May 27th, will be followed up by a monstrous two-episode finale on July 1st. The first episode will clock in at 85 minutes, which is very long when compared to past seasons, but is quite normal when compared to the first seven episodes of Season 4.
The second episode will be a different story, pushing the limits at 150 minutes of runtime, longer than most movies. Ross Duffer added to the VFX bait for the episode, teasing a nonstop segment that lasts an entire hour, a bold setting of expectations as many contemporary series have received similar treatment for their finales only to let down over-eager fans.
“There’s an hour-long chunk in the final episode that just doesn’t stop,” adds other co-creator and Duffer brother, Ross.
“It’s the most complicated thing we’ve ever attempted to do. [It’s] all tension and dread, with a run-time that would be long even for a movie. Then – well, everything goes to hell…”
