Overview
- Netflix has set Season 5 Vol. 2 for December 25 in the US and December 26 in the UK, with the finale on December 31 in the US and January 1 in the UK.
- Viewers point to a Vol. 2 trailer moment where Steve and Dustin say “If you die, I die,” reading it as possible sacrifice foreshadowing.
- A Reddit theory ties an early-season race between Jonathan and Steve to a later choice about who attempts a self-sacrifice.
- Fans also cite a promotional image of characters hugging and crying as potential evidence of a major loss.
- Counterarguments note Eddie Munson’s prior death already gave Dustin a grief arc, with some viewers predicting Steve ultimately survives.
