We immediately have an official confirmation that Joseph Quinn will NOT be back for Stranger Things season five.
If you don’t know, he portrayed the fan fave Eddie Munson in season four and had teased that he could be returning for the show’s final season on Netflix.
However, we immediately know that his fate is sealed: Eddie is dead and won’t be back for season five.
Co-creator Matt Duffer told Empire, “I love that Joe Quinn is toying with people! But no, he’s dead. Joe is so busy anyway, that everyone should know he’s not coming back. He’s shot like five movies since! When the hell has he got time to come and shoot Stranger Things? No, sadly, RIP. He’s fully under that ground.”
There is another cast member who is confirmed to be exiting the series, and this one is a surprise!
