While the producers of “Stranger Things” are apparently looking to expand the show’s cast and they’ve recently added a new character to the mix, fans are not very pleased with where things are going and have been asking for information about the current situation with Eleven. However, the producers seem to have different plans at the moment, and they’re focusing elsewhere.
There are still reports that Eleven is going to play an important role in season 2, so that’s at least a good things for what the general plan for the new season might be. The producers have been a bit unclear regarding the kinds of developments they are planning to introduce in the new season, and many fans have resorted to discussing the various rumors they can find online.
As for the new character, her introduction has been the source of much controversy among fans of the series lately. “Max” apparently shares a lot of traits with Eleven, leading some fans to worry that her purpose might actually be to replace their favorite character.
And while the producers haven’t specifically said that this is their plan at the moment, there are some signs that seem to point in that direction. If they really do intend to remove Eleven in favor of Max, this will definitely lead to some displeased reactions from the show’s fans, and season 2 could end up a complete disaster.
Some are already worried about the future of the show, and it looks like the recent rumors about Eleven and Max have been enough to generate a lot of negative buzz in those discussions. If the producers want to save the show and ensure that it will see a smooth launch for its second season, they should definitely come out and address the rumors sooner rather than later.
There is still a lot of time left to go before the show arrives to the screen, and it’s entirely possible that the showrunners were simply planning to address their fans at a later point, which would explain their current silence. However, even if that’s true, they should definitely revise their plans and come out with at least some statements in the next few weeks.
Another factor contributing to the problematic situation is that there isn’t much information about the show otherwise, and discussions about Eleven and Max are pretty much all fans have to go by right now. Anyone who’s been involved with the community of a big TV show in the past should know that fans’ discussions will not stop in the absence of new information, but they will start bringing up more and more rumors.
That could be harmful to the production in the long run, so hopefully we get some more details about the producers’ plans for season 2 soon. There are some minor reports on the horizon which have drawn fans’ attention occasionally, but it’s mostly small details, such as the addition of a new conspiracy theorist character in the new episodes.
More new character are expected to join the show’s cast other than Max as well, but their exact identities remain unknown at the moment. It looks like Will is going to be in a lot of trouble in the upcoming episodes, so hopefully at least one of those characters will help him out and pull him out of his problematic state.
