This has fuelled speculation over the redacted name as devoted enthusiasts have guessed which character might be at the centre of the mysterious storyline.

Since the release of the fourth season in 2022, fans have been on the lookout for clues.

Many think they already figured out the mystery months ago at the next character to fall to the Upside Down.

One theory that has been suggested is that the character in question is Holly Wheeler (who is played by twins Anniston and Tinsley Price).

She is Mike Wheeler's (Finn Wolfhard) younger sister, who is expected to have an expanded role in the forthcoming series.

Actress Nell Fisher is set to take over the part and so die-hard viewers think she could be at the centre of the new series.

On Reddit, once fan described the missing element of the episode name as 'kinda silly,' because of the clues in the behind-the-scenes content that has already been revealed.

Commenting on the missing name in the title, one user wrote: "It's pretty obvious based on the BtS content already released."

Other fans have echoed the sentiment as they flooded the forum thread in their droves.

Another fan replied: "I love how they keep pretending like we haven't figured out yet that Holly is the one who disappears (Who knows though, maybe they will pull an insane curveball on us)."

"I love how they keep making a mystery out of Episode 2 when we're already pretty much certain it's gonna be Holly (or possibly Mrs. Wheeler)," noted someone else.

Meanwhile, a third excitedly guessed: "It's 100% Holly Wheeler. There's a set photo of Jamie Campbell Bower in a trench coat talking to Holly."

As a fourth said: "So the leaked titles were true! Episode 2 has to be The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler."

Adding: "I love that 1x08 was The Upside Down and now 5x08 will be The Rightside Up. So excited for this season!"

In photos from the set, Jamie Campbell Bower has been spotted in character as Henry Creel (aka Vecna).

He was spotted in a brown suit whilst engaging in conversation with Nell Fisher who now plays the character of Holly in the leaked snaps.
