The Showrunners Didn't Take Inspiration From Any Wild Fan Theories (And It Was The Right Call)

After Jonathan Lisco said the team is "cautious" in terms of making sure they stick to the plans they've made, Ashley Lyle agreed. " Because, let's not forget, that is allegedly what our audience responded to in season one. It was us trusting our impulses. And while sometimes we'll read something that's a great idea, it may also not fit the tapestry of what we're doing. So we have to be very careful, I think. Cautious is what I really mean."

Bart Nickerson even had a favorite fan theory, even if it's definitely wrong. "We definitely love the fan theories," he admitted. "I still am such a giant fan of 'Callie is the pit girl.' Where the flashback is actually a flash-forward [for Shauna's daughter, played by Sarah Desjardins]. And it kind of breaks down, because we see in the pilot that's not true. But still, such a fun theory."

The team has definitely had to come forward and debunk potential theories before. After Jackie (Ella Purnell) froze to death at the end of Season 1, fans who clearly loved the character thought she must be a time traveler and somehow survives until the future timeline (Sorry, but no). Then fans got worried that the girls' soccer team, while stranded in the woods, might eat the baby young Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) is carrying (That's definitely not going to happen). Fan theories are plenty fun, but obviously, not all of them hold water.
