Anticipation is steadily building for Stranger Things Season 5 – the final installment of the Duffer Brothers’ blockbuster Netflix series, which is scheduled to be released in three volumes, starting at the end of November, followed by additional episodes in December and the finale on New Year’s Eve. The conclusion of the epic small screen saga will bring about plenty of reasons to celebrate, not only because it’s the turn of the new year, but also because a viral fan-favorite character is set to make a comeback at some point during the eight-episode run (although their return may not necessarily be in the way that fans would have hoped).
During a Stranger Things Season 5 set visit, Time Magazine spotted the body of a beloved Hawkins resident: Barbara “Barb” Holland, who was played by Shannon Purser in the show’s inaugural season. The character only made a handful of appearances before meeting her untimely demise at the hands of a Demogorgon, but she had an instant following and fans started a “Justice for Barb” movement in the wake of her death. Those looking for closure might be pleased to learn that the character will be back for the concluding chapter, but unfortunately, as Millie Bobby Brown once confirmed, she is most definitely dead. What the outlet saw was a dummy of Barb “half buried in the ground” and “covered in inky black vines made partly of spray-painted pool noodles,” with her “lips purple and slightly agape” and “a giant bleeding gash on her neck.”
