Who Dies In Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2

Alright, grab your Eggos and dim the lights. We’re about to do something dangerous. We’re going to guess who bites it in Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2.

Yes, we’re talking about the final deaths. The ones that will make you scream at your TV. And maybe cry into your pillow.

Let’s be real. The Duffer Brothers love to hurt us. They are emotional terrorists with a budget. And they have one last season to break our hearts.

The Big Red Target: Vecna

Obviously, the main bad guy is toast. Vecna is done. He’s a pile of demogorgon chunks by the finale. That’s not a spoiler, that’s a promise.

But here’s the fun part. How will he die? Will Eleven use her powers to pop his head like a zit? Or will Steve hit him with a nail bat one last time? My money is on a cheesy, glorious explosion.

Quirky fact: Vecna’s actor, Jamie Campbell Bower, said filming the death scene took four days. Four days of screaming and fake blood. That’s dedication to a dramatic exit.

The Danger Zone: Steve Harrington

Let’s talk about the guy we all love. Steve is the babysitter, the hair icon, the redemption king. He is also walking death flags.

He has a new girlfriend (Nancy), a noble heart, and zero self-preservation. That is a recipe for tragedy. Every time he picks up a bat, you should hold your breath.

Funny detail: Steve has been knocked unconscious in every season. It’s his signature move. If he dies, it will probably be while he’s napping from a concussion. That’s a very Steve way to go.

The Heartbreaker: Max Mayfield

Remember when we all thought she died in Season 4? That was a fake-out. The Duffer Brothers played us like a fiddle. Now, they have to finish the job.

Max is blind, broken, and in a coma. Her soul is technically trapped in Vecna’s mind palace. That doesn’t spell “happy ending.”

Quirky fact: Sadie Sink (Max’s actress) admitted she had to film the blind scenes using contact lenses so thick she couldn’t see a thing. She literally couldn’t see her own death scene coming. That’s commitment to method acting.

The Wild Card: Eleven

No. No. Don’t panic. Eleven is probably safe. She’s the star. Killing her would be like killing Harry Potter at the end. The internet would riot.

But… hear me out. What if she sacrifices herself? It’s a classic hero move. She has a nosebleed, a teary monologue, and then boom. Peace out, Hawkins.

Is it likely? Not really. Is it fun to imagine? Absolutely. Imagine the memes. “Eleven used 100% of her brain and died for your sins.” Classic stuff.

The Red Herring: Will Byers

Poor Will. He has spent four seasons being possessed, kidnapped, or sad. He is the ultimate victim. It feels like he’s overdue for a heroic death.

But here’s the gag: Will is so obvious that he’s safe. The Duffers know we’re watching him. They’ll probably let him live just to surprise us. He’ll probably just get another haircut and a cold.

Quirky fact: Noah Schnapp (Will) once joked that his character’s only superpower is “surviving trauma and weird haircuts.” If he dies, it will be the most dramatic haircut yet.

The Obvious Deaths That Are Too Obvious

Let’s take bets on the side characters. Dr. Owens? Dead. He’s dad energy with a gun. That’s a dead man walking.

What about Murray? He’s a comic relief. Comic relief dies last. Or he survives and opens a conspiracy podcast. I’d listen.

Also, any new character introduced in Season 5? They’re dead before the first commercial break. It’s the law of Hawkins.

The One We Want to Die (But Won’t)

Let’s be honest. Who do we kind of wish would get eaten? Jonathan Byers. He’s boring. He’s a stoner with no plot. A demogorgon snack would be a mercy killing.

But he won’t die. He’ll probably move to California and open a vegan smoothie stand. That is his true punishment.

Funny detail: Charlie Heaton (Jonathan) has admitted he has no idea what his character is doing. He just shows up and looks tired. That’s why he’s not dying—the universe is just ignoring him.

The Cold Hard Truth

Look, we’re all just guessing. The Duffer Brothers are chaotic geniuses. They might kill everyone in the last five minutes.

They might kill no one. Imagine the chaos. No deaths, just a happy picnic. The fandom would explode from confusion.

The point is this: death is coming. It’s the final season. Someone is going down. And we’re all going to be talking about it for the next ten years.

So grab your popcorn. Prepare your tissues. And remember: nobody is safe. Not even Dustin’s hat.

See you in the Upside Down, friend. Bring snacks.
