Stranger Things stars Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp have hinted there could be some key character deaths on the horizon.
They'll be back on-screen as Eleven and Will Byers in season four of the hit sci-fi series, which is soon set to land on Netflix.
Looking ahead to the fifth and final season, the acting duo revealed they believe someone in the cast needs to be killed off before the show comes to an end.

"We're all afraid of one of us dying," Brown told The Wrap, with Schnapp adding: "One of us will die."
"I know, it's just which one?" Brown questioned as she pondered the prospect of losing a main character.
"They need to kill off some people. It's so big," Schnapp explained, referencing the size of the Stranger Things cast.
"It's way too big," Brown agreed, before recalling an occasion when it was a struggle to fit the whole cast into a single photo.

Schnapp joked: "We need to have one massacre scene where half the cast dies."
Brown went on to suggest Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers are "too sensitive" to kill off a main cast member.
"We need to be Game of Thrones. We need to have the mindset of Game of Thrones," Brown said, with Schnapp adding: "And just kill a main, main character."
"They tried killing David [Harbour] off and they brought him back. It’s ridiculous!" Brown remarked.
