‘Stranger Things’ Should ‘Kill More People,’ Says Gaten Matarazzo: ‘The Show Would Be So Much Better if the Stakes Were Much Higher’


Gaten Matarazzo says "Stranger Things" would be better if the stakes were higher and more characters were killed.

Cast member Gaten Matarazzo recently appeared at MegaCon Orlando (via CBR) and was asked if there were any changes he would make to the show’s first four seasons, to which the actor didn’t hesitate to say that more characters should’ve been killed off. Heading into the show’s final season, original cast members like Matarazzo, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Noah Schnapp are all returning. In a 2022 interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the Duffer brothers addressed Millie Bobby Brown’s comments about how “Stranger Things” needs to “have the mindset” of “Thrones” when it comes to killing characters.
