SNL Spoofs Stranger Things

Saturday Night Life spoofed Netflix’s sci-fi hit series Stranger Things with a bit that answers an important burning question from season 1 – where are Lucas’s parents?

The sketch featured host for the evening, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda plays Gaten Matarazzo’s super geeky character Dustin, complete with his signature lisp.

The Duffer brothers (not the real ones) introduce a sneak peak of season 2, in which we finally meet Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair.

Let’s just say mom Leslie Jones and dad Kenan Thompson aren’t too happy with who Lucas has been hanging out with, especially when “crazy little boy” Eleven (Kate McKinnon) with a nose bleed shows up.

Eleven stops using her mind control powers because Leslie Jones is just too scary.

When Chief Hopper appeared to explain that he has been watching after the kids, Lucas’s parents throw their hands in the air and yell, “Monster!”

Seriously though, where are Lucas’s parents?

Stranger Things, from the Duffer brothers, is currently filming it’s second season that promises to be “next level crazy.” Season 2 will take us deeper into the Upside Down, Hawkins Lab, and venture outside of that sleepy little Indiana town.

We recently learned at the Stranger Things New York Comic Con 2016 panel with Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) and David K. Harbour (Chief Hopper) that a certain love triangle will also be a focus in the upcoming season and that Barb is definately not rising from the dead.

Stranger Things season 1 is now streaming on Netflix and season 2 is slated for release sometime in 2017.
