Stranger Things Season 5: Who Among the Fan Favorite Characters May Likely Die in the Final Season?

Stranger Things Season 5 is the series’ last and final season.

With the death of Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) in the previous season, fans will surely witness another heartbreaking demise this time, and there may be several of them.

A character/s death is inevitable in Stranger Things Season 5. So, who among the fan-favorite characters is likely to die this time?

Steve Harrington

In a list made by Screen Rant, it topped the most likely deaths with Steve (John Keery).

Steve has undergone major character development. From a bully, he has become a caring friend for Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Robin (Maya Hawke), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and others.

He has been dubbed as a babysitter after Joyce (Winona Ryder) put him in charge of the kids.

Hopper

After being introduced for having a bad reputation in the first season, Hopper has become a father figure for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and a love interest for Joyce in the series.

Her survival is said to play a major part in defeating Vecna. So, it remains to be seen whether she will make it out alive.

Eleven

Eleven carries the burden of bringing Vecna down and saving everyone in Stranger Things Season 5.

It has been known that Vecna is the toughest villain she must face, and defeating him may cause her to get weak, slowly sucking the life out of her.
