Maya Hawke is all for a hero's death for Robin in the final season of Stranger Things
"I’d love to die with honor," Hawke says of her character's final series arc
Maya Hawke’s not afraid to die—at least in the Stranger Things universe. As the Netflix series rolls into its fifth and final season, theories concerning which characters will face their death in the series’ closing run are beginning to crop up, and Hawke has offered Robin Buckley up as tribute.
“It’s the last season, so people are probably going to die,” Hawke tells Rolling Stone. “I would love to die and get my hero’s moment. I’d love to die with honor, as any actor would.”
It all depends on the Duffer Brothers, though. The Stranger Things creators have a tendency to shy away from core character deaths, as seen with Hopper and Sadie Sink’s Max in season four. Series stars Millie Bobby Brown calls the duo “sensitive Sallies,” but Hawke says this restraint comes from a love of the cast.
“I love the way that the Duffer Brothers love their actors,” Hawke says. “The reason that they write so beautifully for me and for everyone else is because they fall in love with their actors and their characters, and they don’t want to kill them.”
