Stranger Things Fans Are Predicting Season 5 Character Deaths

by

The upcoming fifth season of the highly popular Netflix series “Stranger Things” has been announced as its last. Prior to the release of this final chapter, the creators of the show, known as the Duffer Brothers, have hinted that nothing is guaranteed when it comes to character survival. This revelation seems to have struck a nerve with fans, as discussions about potential character deaths among the main cast in “Stranger Things” are intensifying across various platforms.

In the ongoing discussions about Stranger Things, fans are deeply engrossed in attempting to decipher the narrative patterns set by the Duffer Brothers for Season 5. By examining the preceding seasons carefully, they’ve managed to identify recurring trends such as the appearance and subsequent departure of secondary characters like Billy, Bob, Eddie, and Max. In Stranger Things 5, actress Amybeth McNulty will join the cast in a more significant role as “Vickie,” a band member at Hawkins High School who develops feelings for Robin (Maya Hawke). The season finale left viewers wondering about Vickie and Robin’s relationship, which could be a foreshadowing of potential danger for Vickie, considering the series’ history with character deaths like Barb. A popular theory suggests that Robin might sacrifice herself to save Vickie, creating a shocking twist that would leave fans emotionally affected, as Maya Hawke is a beloved member of the Stranger Things cast.

In the final season, another notable cast member joining the roster will be Linda Hamilton, who is famously known for her role in “Terminator.” The specifics about her character and involvement in the series are being withheld as a surprise. Given Hamilton’s past roles, it’s more probable that she’ll play a cunning character rather than one who meets an untimely demise, unless her character is somehow significant to the plot as a deceased individual appearing in flashbacks.

Which Main Characters Will Die In Stranger Things 5?

The main cast of Stranger Things features Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Cara Buono, and Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays the character Henry Creel/Vecna/One.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but notice the buzz surrounding Millie Bobby Brown’s character Eleven in the upcoming season finale of Stranger Things. Ever since her breakout role back in 2016, Millie’s career has skyrocketed, and now it seems that she might be ready to bid farewell to Eleven for good.

There have been hints dropped during interviews and other behind-the-scenes glimpses that suggest Millie is preparing to close the book on Eleven. If this proves true, it would free her from any lingering obligations related to fan theories or queries once the series concludes. A poignant and grandiose death scene could serve as the perfect way to finalize Millie’s journey as Eleven and give fans a memorable send-off for the character they’ve grown to love.

Indeed, well-known intellectual properties such as “Stranger Things” are usually cautious about shutting doors so definitively. A widely discussed hypothesis is that “Stranger Things” won’t actually kill Eleven off, but instead will have her make the “sacrifice” of staying in the Upside Down to secure the passage between the realms – a thematic counterpart to Vecna’s role. This implies that Eleven may be sacrificing herself to protect the connection between worlds, much like how Vecna uses it for malevolent purposes.

If Eleven doesn’t serve as the ultimate sacrifice during the climactic battle of “Stranger Things”, there are alternative characters who could meet their end. Among the popular choices are Steve Harrington, portrayed by Joe Keery, and Jim Hopper, played by David Harbour. As the final season approaches, many viewers expect the creators (the Duffers) to kill off either Steve, Jim, or possibly both, to add a touch of sadness to any triumphant conclusion. Given Harbour’s growing film commitments, it seems almost ironic that his character Hopper’s death could become a joke due to its predictability.

At a significantly reduced level, some enthusiasts speculate that “Stranger Things” might conclude things dramatically by ending the life of Will Byers, portrayed by Noah Schnapp. While season 1 was a desperate struggle to rescue Will from danger, his complex role within the narrative now (unrequited affection for his best friend) and recent off-screen tensions between Schnapp and the fanbase, largely stemming from global politics, might indicate that it’s time for Will’s character arc to reach its climax.

1. The primary characters, such as Mike (Wolfhard), Dustin (Matarazzo), Lucas (McLaughlin), and Nancy (Dyer) from the Hawkins Gang, are less likely to perish in the final season. This is because the series appears to be focusing on their maturation and growth process.

2. Characters like Joyce Byers played by Winona Ryder and Jonathan Byers portrayed by Charlie Heaton, who aren’t main characters, might have a better chance of survival. Their deaths could significantly affect the other characters, but it may not be as devastating to the audience since they are secondary characters.

Who do you think will make it out of Stranger Things‘s final season alive?
