We here at The Thriller ArchivesInternet have suffered a lot of collective heartbreak, often at the hands of television or streaming, and none stings quiet so virulently as the senseless death of Barbara Holland on Stranger Things.

Sadly, Barb is still not coming back.

Stranger Thingsexecutive producer Shawn Levy told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday that there will be no Barb resurrection in Season 2, which, to be clear, is not news -- but sometimes we need to be told.

"People still think Barb's alive," an exasperated Levy said on Facebook Live. "You think you want that, but you wouldn't really want that."

Levy said that Hollywood A-listers have approached him at awards shows trying to weasel out sneaky tidbits about Barb.

"She had like a creature slug-worm-snake coming out of her mouth," he added toward the end of the video. "I don't know that there's a bounce back from that."

Forgotten by her town, forsaken by a best friend who just wanted to bone the young Jean-Ralphio, Barb deserved better than being dragged to the Upside Down and having the life sucked out of her by a Demogorgon.

Mashablereported as recently as June 6 that Barb will not be resurrected, but hope is all we have in this dumpster of a world. We wondered about her in March, we mourned her in April, and even right after Season 1 we couldn't stop thinking about the horrible injustices that could still befall her immortal soul.

But she is dead.

Reminder: This is how we last saw Barb:

Even Melisandre can't bring a girl back from that. It's time we moved on and let Barb finally get some damn peace.
