While your guess may be as good as TV Show Ace, here are some speculations:

Lower Chance of Severed Ties

Each of these characters have a balanced likeability and importance to the storyline. The writers have built each of their characters this season and don’t seem to be as likely to be leaving. Insider  and Fansided offered more character discussions and made some valid points in their analysis of each character.

  • Max
  • Erica
  • Nancy
  • Dustin
  • Robin

Moderate Chance of Impending Doom

Honestly, none of the characters seem safe. This group has the less known, more disliked, and the newest characters that seem to each be relatively “easy” targets. Fans have some ties, but they would not be quite as devastating to lose.

  • Argyle
  • Owens
  • Brenner
  • Eddie
  • Jonathan
  • Hopper

If fans had to choose, Dr. Brenner is the most satisfying choice to watch karma take her revenge. Viewers would be happy to say goodbye to him after the many long years of torture he put Eleven through.

High Chance of Meeting a Gruesome End

Frankly, all of these would be a gut punch if they are the victim chosen to say farewell. Fans are not ready for any of these to be killed off. Perhaps there is hope for the dead to rise again though. After all, Hopper made his way back in the storyline after his previously assumed death.

  • Will
  • Eleven
  • Steve
  • Murray
  • Joyce

Can the story continue without Eleven? Joyce is the best fun mom around. Will has been through so much torture with the Upside-down already. Steve and Murray, what would Stranger Things be without their supportive characters?

In truth, any character is a potential. It is tough to think of any of these low, moderate, or high risk being eliminated. What do you think? Who is going to make the cut to continue on to next season? While you wait for Stranger Things Season 4, Volume 2 to release, lace up those skates, brush up on your D&D skills, and stream a little Kate Bush’s “Running up that Hill” on auto-repeat.
