Source: NETFLIX'Stranger Things' viewers began buzzing about the possibility of a major character dying in the series' final season.
Stranger Things fans might want to stock up on tissues.
After Volume 1 of Stranger Things Season 5 aired on November 26, viewers began speculating whether the final season would witness a major character's death."The goal was always to scale up each series with the age of the characters and our audience," Ross Duffer told The Times. "Hopefully, parents don't get too mad at us."Viewers shared theories online, naming the characters they believe are most likely to die: Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven, Noah Schnapp's Will Byers, Joe Keery's Steve Harrington, Caleb McLaughlin's Lucas Sinclair, Finn Wolfhard's Mike Wheeler, Nell Fisher's Holly Wheeler, Sadie Sink's Max Mayfield and Jamie Campbell Bower's Vecna.
David Harbour's Jim Hopper is also a candidate, given the character's close call in Season 3."Hopper at the end of Season 3. I think death grazed him," Matt Duffer told Entertainment Weekly. "'Grazed' is a bit euphemistic."
What Have the Duffer Brothers Revealed About Potential Deaths in 'Stranger Things' Season 5?

The Duffer Brothers subtly addressed the buzz in an interview with Variety following the airing of Volume 1.
When asked if they prepared a "big death" in the fifth and final season, Ross explained, "Once we decided we knew we wanted to do the Will power stuff this season, we knew that that's how we had to end Volume 1. So there's the low point of all the kids being taken, but the high point of Will has these powers. That was always the discussion. Vecna taking these children was the low point we needed for the end of Volume 1."Matt also addressed whether Volume 2 will get bloodier, noting, "I've said this before: The show is not Game of Thrones. I'm hoping it surprises people. But there's no Red Wedding, if that's what you're asking. That would be depressing."
