Keep your tissues close, folks! Matt Duffer has hinted that Stranger Things 5 will feature "the most violent death of any season." In an interview with The Times, he revealed, "Season 5 isn't as violent overall as Season 4, but it does contain the most violent death we've ever done." Ross Duffer added that their aim has always been to raise the stakes as the characters - and the audience - grow, joking, "Hopefully, parents don't get too mad at us."

Stranger Things 5 Death Predictions: Who Will Die In The Final Season?

Fans are already sending up prayers - and memes - begging the universe to spare Steve Harrington. Relatable, right? As the final showdown draws near, speculation is in full swing.

According to predictions highlighted by RadioTimes, several major characters could be on the chopping block, including Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Jim Hopper (David Harbour), and even Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman). The stakes have never looked deadlier.

Adding fuel to the fire, a Reddit thread dedicated to Stranger Things 5 death theories is exploding online, with fans debating who's destined to fall in the ultimate battle against the Upside Down.

Reacting to the Reddit thread, one of the Stranger Things fans commented, "Will is a red herring. Jonathan's the real death. I can see Vecna killing him in an attempt to break Will", while another fan wrote, "We have had so many of these threads.

Vecna

Dr Kay

Sullivan

A whole lot of soldiers. Prob not Lt Akers though. Bet he comes around.

Some random Hawkins citizenry.

Wild card is Ted Wheeler.

(All the kids make it. Whole Party. The older group. Holly. Derek. Erica. Joyce, Hopper, Karen. All won't die.)".

Meanwhile, a third replied, "All I'm saying is, if it's Steve then I'm cancelling my Netflix subscription." Isn't that exactly what we've been saying, too?
