Gaten Matarazzo Advocates for Higher Stakes in 'Stranger Things' Season 5

The actor suggests more character deaths to elevate the show's tension.

Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin in 'Stranger Things', proposes killing off more characters in the final season to increase the stakes.
The suggestion has sparked discussions among fans and fellow cast members, with some supporting the idea for a more unpredictable narrative.
Production for Season 5 is underway, with expectations for a 2025 release, following delays due to Hollywood strikes.
Previous seasons have seen the deaths of several supporting characters, but the main cast has largely remained safe.
The Duffer Brothers, creators of the show, have previously resisted killing off main characters, emphasizing the importance of the story's core group.
