The following contains potential spoilers from Stranger Things Season 1, Volume 2, streaming on Netflix, on July 1.
Stranger Things fans are currently basking in the glory of Season 4. In fact, some people are probably still trying to make it through the thoroughly-unbingeable season. For those who have finished, Season 4 might have been the best yet (even if it couldn't top the series' best moment). It recently became Netflix's most watched English-language series ever, and people can't wait to see how the spooky-looking Volume 2 wraps up its unanswered questions.
For the Stranger Things actors, keeping those Volume 2 secrets under wraps has been a task. Some people believe that spoilers are a thing of the past, but others are adamantly opposed to learning anything ahead of time. Unfortunately for those people, Noah Schnapp (who plays Will Byers) recently let the cat out of the bag in a big way. Here's what he said and what it could mean for Volume 2.
By his own admittance, Schnapp is the Tom Holland of Stranger Things because he can't help himself from letting spoilers slip. Oftentimes, he's not even being pestered for information, and that's what happened here. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Schnapp and Fallon tried on some wigs and made fun of Will Byer's bowl haircut. Then, Fallon asked Schnapp what fans could expect for Volume 2, specifically asking him to avoid anything in the realm of spoilers.
However, Schnapp's response was well within spoiler territory. He said, "We can expect from Volume 2 -- we've got some deaths coming and some gore and a big…" That's when Fallon cut him off and noted that "some deaths" was kind of a big statement. From there, Schnapp tried to walk his comments back, saying that fans probably assumed that someone would die in Volume 2, but then, it was too late. So, fans are now bracing themselves for Stranger Things biggest death since Bob Newby in Season 2. The question is: who could it be?
It's actually difficult to predict. A lot of fans think that Steve might die or be possessed after he was attacked by the demobats. Another faction believes that either Lucas or Mike could sacrifice themselves in order to save Max or Eleven, respectively. While those three are the most likely to die, there are numerous other possibilities.
There's a strong possibility that Eddie Munson and Doctor Brenner won't make it through Season 4. Honestly, though, anyone is fair game. Max could end up succumbing to Vecna; Hopper could die saving Joyce -- again. Even Will could be killed off because Noah Schnapp is going to college, and filming Season 5 could be difficult.
The Duffer Brothers aren't doing anything to quell fans' worrying either. In interview with TVLine, Ross Duffer said that fans should be worried about Steve's fate, but he added that fans should be concerned going into the final two episodes [of season 4] — for everybody." So, with only a few days before Volume 2 releases, fans will just have to brace themselves, while waiting to see who doesn’t make it.
To see who makes it to Season 5, watch Stranger Things Season 4, Volume 2. It premieres on July 1, on Netflix.
