'Stranger Things' Was Originally R-Rated; Cast Confirms Season 1 Character's Fate
Nicole T.The Duffer Brothers, who created the hit Netflix original series "Stranger Things," revealed a rather strange and surprising fact about the series. The brothers said recently at the Golden Globe Awards that the show had been originally intended for the adult audience.
One of the main reasons why "Stranger Things" became extremely popular around the world was because of the phenomenal performances of the young protagonists. Many were blown away by Millie Bobby Brown's performance as Eleven. However, despite having adorable and talented kids, the showrunners confessed that the series originally had an R-rated thing.
"The Eleven character, the kind of powers she has and to have a young protagonist that's violent - it's not E.T. It's not a happy situation. She's killing people and brutally murdering them," said Ross Duffer in an interview with Vulture.
Matt Duffer went on to say that the original pilot was supposed to be more violent. However, they did say that they did not regret toning it down.
When asked about "Stranger Things" season 2, the brothers declined to spill the details. They did confirm, however, that the gateway to Upside Down is still open. It also seemed like fan theories about young Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) will be true. It can be recalled that Will was stuck in the Upside Down for a while. According to the creators, he may not be as stable as he was before. They also teased a couple of things that will kickstart "Stranger Things" season 2.
Speaking of characters, fans were not able to contain themselves after a major cameo on Jimmy Fallon's Golden Globes opening. Apart from Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Finn Wolfhard, Barb (Shannon Purser) also made an appearance and she was alive.
Well, that was only according to Jimmy Fallon's opening. Brown has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that it was only a joke and that Barb is actually truly dead in the series.
