Stranger Things Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

7. Justice For Barb

Although she didn't do much and was then swiftly dispatched, Barbara became the breakout character of Stranger Things. In fact, it was precisely because of that she became such a hit, with countless fans demanding 'Justice For Barb'.

The showrunners have listened, and justice will be delivered in Season 2. David Harbour promised fans that we would see Nancy very upset over her friend's disappearance and the subsequent reaction (or lack thereof), while Matt Duffer told IGN: "Barb will not be forgotten. We’ll make sure there’s some justice for Barb."

Anyone expecting Barb to somehow come back from the dead, however, will be left very disappointed. As Shawn Levy told Variety: "We saw a slug coming out of her throat. There's no coming back from that."
