On July 15th, Netflix released the series "Stranger Things." The show follows the disappearance of 12 year-old Will Byers, who seems to have vanished into thin air. As his friends, family, and Chief Hopper try to find him, they find Eleven, a girl with "superpowers" and the evil government agency that she's running from. The season's eighth, and final episode ends with (spoiler!) Will being returned home to his family. And even though Will's friends were able to save him from The Upside Down and the monster that lived there, the show left us with SO many questions.
But lucky for us, the show has been renewed for a nine episode second season. Netflix released a teaser, revealing very little about what the next season contains, except that it takes place a year after season one. So here's six questions we're all hoping get answered when "Stranger Things" returns next year.
1. What's wrong with Will Byer?
At the very end of the season, Will goes back home with his family. But it turns out that all might not be well in the Byer house. In one of the last scenes, Will throws up a slug. So, I ask again, what's wrong with Will?
2. Why on Earth is Nancy still with Steve?
Okay, so both boys had their fair share of problems, but why did Nancy stay with Steve? Johnathon and Nancy hunted monsters together. They helped save Will together.
3. Is Eleven coming back?
The girl with psychokinetic powers sacrificed herself to save Mike, Dustin, and Lucas from the monster. But where'd she go? And will they save her?
4. Why did Hopper put Eggo Waffles in a box in the woods?
I can only assume he was leaving them for Eleven, who loved to eat Eggo Waffles, but why?
5. Will the Dr. Brenner come after them?
Now that everyone who was trying to find Will knows what's going on in town, will they be safe?
6. Does Hopper work for them now?
In order to be allowed to get to where Will was, Hopper had to make a deal with the devil. So does this mean that he knows too much? Do they own him now?
7. Will Barb come back?
Even though they were able to save Will, they couldn't save Barb, Nancy's friend who went missing after Will. Barb deserved better.
Stranger Things is set to return next year, so here's to rewatching season one until 2017.
