NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Barb from Stranger Things was out for revenge Wednesday as she returned to torment the young cast of the hit Netflix series on The Tonight Show.

The skit featured Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gataen Matarazzo) and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) playing a game of Dungeons and Dragons until host Jimmy Fallon interrupts their game dressed as character Steve Harrington.

"I got a little present, wanna see it?" he asks as a stand-in for Barb, originally played by Shannon Purser appears, upset that she was left for dead in the upside down world during Season 1.

"Let's review, shall we?" Barb started yelling. "There were two people down there, and you rescued one of them. Do the math, [expletive]!"

"Screw you, Steve Harrington!" Barb continued after Fallon failed to calm her down. "And screw Nancy too, by the way! She was supposed to be my BFF, well I guess BFF stands for Big [expletive] Phony!"

"Phony starts with a 'P,'" Dustin replied.

Barb then revealed she had given their friend Will back to the Demigorgon in exchange for freedom. It was then that Will communicated using the show's signature Christmas light wall to spell out his thoughts.

"Barb's getting her own Netflix spin-off--Orange Is the New [expletive]." she concluded.

Stranger Things was officially renewed for a second season Wednesday. Writer-creators Matt and Ross Duffer have stated before that Season 2 would feature "some justice for Barb" who has become a fan-favorite character on social media.
