Stranger Things Season 5’s Best New Character Could Break a 9-Year-Old Series Tradition

Despite relatively few deaths in the first part of Stranger Things Season 5, it feels certain that someone will die in the final, longer episode. Ideally, the villains Vecna and Dr. Kay would be the ones to go. However, killing off one of the main heroes would have a much bigger emotional impact. The trailer for the final volume hints that a beloved character is in serious danger, and it’s likely to be someone we’ve known for a while – a break from the show’s usual pattern of killing off lesser-known characters.
