Big things are happening in "Stranger Things" Season 2, especially with the introduction of three new characters who are set to propel the series into a new direction. There are speculations that the new female character, will play an important role in the second season.

'Stranger Things' Season 2 Will Introduce New Female Character Max, Is She Eleven's Replacement?
Fans were undoubtedly disappointed when Eleven sacrificed herself to save Mike Wheeler and the rest of her friends in the "Stranger Things" Season 1 finale. Although there are theories suggesting that El will return in the second season, some fans believe that the boys will find a replacement for their powerful friend in the first few episodes. GamenGuide has previously reported on the possibility that Max will replace Eleven when the show returns. After all, the first episode of "Stranger Things" Season 2 ("MadMax") is already named after the new character.
But what exactly will Max be like? The description of the new character suggests that she will be a tomboy who prefers a skateboard rather than the boys' bikes. She sounds like a tougher, non-telekinetic version of Eleven, and it's easy to see that the boys will be completely smitten with the new girl. Fans are beginning to wonder if Max will join the group and become the Beverly Marsh of "Stranger Things" Season 2.
Is 'Stranger Things' Season 2 Character Max Based On Stephen King's Beverly Marsh From 'IT'?

Some believe that the introduction of Max will be a tribute to the only female member of the Losers Club in the novel "IT". Interestingly, Finn Wolfhard is currently working on the new adaptation of King's horror classic, where he will portray Richie Tozier.
