Just a few months prior, long before there was any coverage about tonightโs finale, Millie Bobby Brown joked about the ensemble cast of Stranger Things season 4 being โway too big.โ
โLast night, we couldnโt even take one group picture because there were like 50 of us. I was like, โYou need to start killing people off,โโ said Millie Bobby Brown.
โWe need to have the mindset of Game of Thrones. Kill me off! They tried killing David [Harbour] off and they brought him back! Itโs ridiculousโฆThe Duffer Brothers are sensitive Sallies who donโt want to kill anybody off.โ

In light of what fellow cast member Joseph Quinn and The Duffer Brothers themselves have recently hinted about the Stranger Things season 4 finale, the young actress behind Eleven may have been granted her wish.
Towards the end of Volume I, there were moments in which it seemed like the book was being closed on David Harbourโs Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper and Joe Keeryโs Steve Harrington. By divine writing intervention, however, both fan favourites were spared for another day thanks to timely saves by their respective allies. Volume II, on the other hand, promises to be a little lessโฆ forgiving.
โThe thing is, theyโve got my family tied up somewhere and if I spoil anything, Iโll never see them again,โ quipped Joseph Quinn, who portrays Hellfire Club Dungeon Master and misunderstood misfit Eddie Munson.
โNoโฆ I can say thereโs a guitar scene and that the scale and ambition are astonishing. All the seeds that have been planted bear fruit and itโs just carnage. You know the finale is two-and-a-half hours, right? Ending with this monster, feature-length episode is so bold.โ

Quinn later noted how heโd be โfurious if they donโt bring me backโ and would โlove to return if theyโll have me,โ meaning Eddie the Banished (probably) survives.
โI donโt really want to say, but I would be concerned about the characters going into Volume 2, for sure,โ Ross Duffer told Variety.
โI hope that that is sort of the sense, because it is a darker season and the kids are no longer kids. And thereโs sort of an ominous feeling that things might not go well. Now, whether they do or not, youโll have to watch.โ
Between you and me, my moneyโs on either Steve or Natalia Dyerโs Nancy Wheeler or even both parties biting the dust.
Stranger Things season 4 (Volume II), brutal finale and all, is scheduled to hit Netflix on July 1st โ check out the trailer below.
