Stranger Things Season 2 Will Put Eleven On An Emotional Rollercoaster
If you're waiting around for Stranger Things Season 2 and are hoping for some tidbits to tide you over, Matt and Ross Duffer spoke with TVLine's Michael Ausiello last night at the Emmy Awards red carpet event. The creators and executive producers for the series teased a bit about the upcoming sophomore season for the Netflix hit series.
Starting off, they talk about Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and how her journey this season will be very different — besides the fact that she will have hair and be able to complete sentences. It's going to be more of an emotional rollercoaster in the second season, as she will basically be going through adolescence while having powers.
They did confirm that there will be justice for Barb in the new season, but actress Shannon Purser will not be returning. Barb is dead; she's not coming back and there won't be flashbacks or ghost appearances. Barb will be talked about, but she'll get no screen time. The Byers got Will (Noah Schnapp) back, but the Hollands didn't get their daughter back, and we'll get to see the repercussions from that with them and Nancy (Natalia Dyer).
As for as how long the series will go, don't expect it to be around forever. They have a specific place in mind where they are going to end it, and they don't feel that the story justifies that long of a run. Maybe four or five seasons at the most is the impression the Duffers give — definitely not six.
Don't expect a big cliffhanger ending to the second season, either.
Stranger Things Season 2 will debut October 27 on Netflix.
