Death is inevitable in Stranger Things season 5, but it's the question of who will die that remains unknown. Characters with completed redemption arcs are more likely to die, while weaker or newer characters may not have as much impact. Eleven's death would be the ultimate ending for the series, while Steve's sacrifice would be heartbreaking but show how much he's changed.

While it's hard to say goodbye, a Stranger Things main character will likely die in season 5. Last season saw the death of Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) while Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) pulled through but was left in a coma. Previous seasons of Stranger Things have teased deaths, only for the characters to return alive the following season. However, season 5 is the series' final season, so at least one death seems inevitable. The question isn't whether or not someone will die but who will be the one to die.
