There is only one episode of Stranger Things left. The creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, have given some hints about how things might end for the kids of Hawkins.
Fans have been talking a lot about a trailer where Steve tells Dustin he is ready to die. When asked about it, the Duffer brothers laughed a little and said people always worry about Steve. Matt added that even if they had not shown anything in the trailer, fans would still be nervous.
When asked how worried fans should be about the other characters like Steve and Hopper, Matt said this is not Game of Thrones. There won’t be a Red Wedding or shocking deaths just for the sake of drama. He said some surprising things happen in the finale, but the goal is not to shock or hurt anyone. Instead, the ending should feel natural and satisfying.
Matt hinted that Steve has had a rough time this season and joked that the only way to take things further could be death. But he didn’t confirm anything.
The finale will air on New Year’s Eve in the US and the following morning in the UK. It will show the Hawkins kids preparing for one last fight against Vecna. He wants to use twelve children as “perfect vessels” to reshape the world. The stakes are higher than ever, and there could be serious consequences for some favorite characters.
As for who will survive, there are no clear answers yet. So far, no major characters have died in this final chapter, and fans are waiting eagerly to see how this decade-long story will end.
