Stranger Things Star Gaten Matarazzo Calls for More Deaths in the Show
Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo recently shared his thoughts on the popular sci-fi series, expressing a desire for more character deaths to increase the stakes and make the show’s outlook bleaker for the core group of kids.

When asked about his desired change, Matarazzo didn’t hold back, stating that he would like to see more characters meet their demise. He believes that the show would be even better if the stakes were higher, emphasizing that any of the kids could “kick it” at any given moment. Matarazzo expressed his feeling that the characters are currently too safe, and he wants to see more risks taken.
While Stranger Things has not shied away from killing off characters in the past, Matarazzo’s suggestion indicates a desire for even more significant losses. In the previous season, the death of Eddie Munson (played by Joseph Quinn) and the brutalization of Max Mayfield (played by Sadie Sink) left a lasting impact on viewers. As the show approaches its fifth and final season, fans are left wondering who will make it out alive, with various fan theories circulating.
The Core Group Survives the Intense Season Four Finale
The core group of actors, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Priah Ferguson, and Brett Gelman, all survived the intense season four finale and will return for the next chapter. However, Eduardo Franco, who portrayed Argyle, has revealed that he never received a call about returning for the final season.
The Final Season Approaches with a Shorter Episode Count
The upcoming final season is set to have a shorter episode count compared to previous seasons, with the first episode titled “Chapter One: The Crawl.” It will be released on Netflix, along with most of the other episodes, on the same day. David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, has teased that the season will have a “Return of the King-ish” ending, which he describes as “very, very moving.”
Fans Speculate on the Fate of Beloved Characters
Gaten Matarazzo’s suggestion to increase the show’s kill count has sparked discussions among fans about the potential consequences for the beloved characters of Stranger Things. As the final season approaches, viewers eagerly await the dark and thrilling conclusion of this iconic series.
