We are officially a week into November, meaning we're actual days away from the Stranger Things Season 5 Part 1 premiere. The Netflix drama has been a decade-defining phenomenon, to say the least. Now that we're close to the finish line, the anticipation and excitement for the final season are unlike anything before.Throughout its run, which has spanned a decade and five seasons, the Netflix blockbuster has managed to acquire a massive fanbase, and now that the series finale is upon us, so are all these eyes, hoping and continually looking for a leak or other from the final adventure of Stranger Things.A similar leak might just be the key to one of the biggest rumors about the season finale. Keep reading to find out more about the leak and what it might mean for the fan-favorite character Steve Harrington.Why the Internet is convinced that Steve Harrington will not survive Stranger Things Season 5Steve Harrington (Image via Netflix)It might be bleak, but every new Stranger Things season brings with it the possibility of the death toll rising. So, ahead of the season releases, speculation around characters and the possibility of a tragic fate takes flight.However, the Netflix horror has maintained a reputation for ensuring that the series regulars survive the season through precarious endeavors. The only exception was Jim Hopper's supposed "death" in Season 3, but Season 4 went on to find him alive and captured in Russia. Almost every season, we fall in love with a guest character, be it Eddie or Bob Newby, and then watch them suffer the tragic fate of a brutal death.However, when Season 5 rolled around, fans were convinced that Stranger Things would break this streak, up the stakes, and have a main character die. The Season 5 teaser, which found Nancy washing blood off her hands and sobbing, had fans believe that she is in this condition because someone very close to her had been killed in the final fight against Vecna.Steve and Dustin (Image via Netflix)This left the rumor mill with two possibilities: Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers. Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery, has grown to be one of the most loved characters on Stranger Things, owing to his massive character growth through the seasons. So, the conclusion that we arrived at was that Steve would die in Nancy's arms (she has blood on her hands), and he might even confess his feelings for her in his final moments, making his death emotionally hard-hitting.The Stranger Things Season 5 trailer did not help quell this rumor, with Dustin, Steve's (best) little friend, sobbing. However, a recent leak might just be the sign we need to believe that Steve Harrington will make it through Season 5's final fight against Vecna.This Stranger Things Season 5 leak might be saying otherwiseEvery leak from the Stranger Things set is another chance to find out who might or might not die in the series finale. This leak from the sets finds Joe Keery on the sets in an exclusively '90s outfit.While this might not mean much in terms of a confirmation, some timeline context might help. At the beginning, season 5 is set to find us in the fall of 1987 in Hawkins. However, the Duffer brothers have revealed that the end of the final episode is an epilogue of sorts, which finds Hawkins after the final fight against Vecna and the Upside Down creatures. This epilogue is set to take us straight into 1989.The very 1990s outfit that Joe Keery sports on the sets might mean that he has managed to survive through the deadly series finale alive and well.While this is all speculation at this point, these leaks do offer strong proof for the assumption that Steve Harrington might just make it out alive.Read More: Stranger Things: Every character arc leading into the finale, explainedKeep following Soap Central for more such interesting insights on your favorite shows!
