Many fans of Stranger Things are convinced that Billy Hargrove will transform into the central antagonist of season 3. Clues from the trailers suggest his character will undergo a perilous metamorphosis, likely becoming a vessel for a creature from the Upside Down. This has sparked widespread speculation about the chaos that will ensue once Billy turns malevolent.
According to Refinery29, a Reddit user named Maplekey theorizes that Billy will be responsible for Karen Wheeler's demise. The fan suggests that an affair between Billy and Karen, hinted at in season 2, could lead to her becoming pregnant with an otherworldly entity, drawing parallels to Geena Davis's role in The Fly and Noomi Rapace's character in Prometheus.
The theory culminates in a chilling prediction: Mike and Nancy might witness their mother's horrifying death as she is torn apart from within. A truly grim scenario!
Although it's uncertain if Stranger Things will delve into such dark territory, one thing is clear: if Billy transforms into the new monster, chaos is inevitable. With the series' return just hours away, answers are nearly within reach.
The highly anticipated Stranger Things season 3 will premiere on July 4 at 12:00 a.m. PST/3:00 a.m. EST.
