The interviewer asked if there would be a body count by the end of the season, and they said for sure. In the first half of the season, the gang learns they are dealing with a serious threat from a new and powerful villain, Vecna. The creators are commenting on Noah's tease that there will be some major deaths in volume 2. There is a chance that a newer character could be honing in on one of the original gang. They took some of the heat off of Schnapp, who was accused of spoiling volume 2, by repeating exactly what he said before the finale. The Duffer brothers have confirmed that there will be character deaths in the finale. The teasing of these deaths hints at them being big and surprising, as nearly anyone is fair game.
The only force who could possibly stop the zombie was Eleven, and she is still struggling to get her powers back.

Neither Schnapp nor the Duffer brothers confirmed if the deaths will be major characters or newer cast additions.
Some deaths can be expected by the end of season 4 according to the Duffer brothers. Bob and Alexi died the same season they made their debut in, which is a trend that can be seen with Sean Astin and Alec Utgoff. The first and second volume of the season will be released on May 27 and July 1 respectively.
There will be deaths in season 4 according to the Duffer brothers. The character of Enzo, played by Tom Wlaschiha, is a strong candidate for death. The confirmation that there will be more than one death is concerning and surprising.
Confirmation of multiple deaths gives no indication of who may die. Nancy and Steve were both in dire situations at the end of the first volume. The characters that were introduced after the first season were killed off. The viewers are very worried for Nancy and Steve, but they may have been thrown off by that. After the thrilling first volume, viewers are waiting for volume 2.
