'RIP. He's Fully Under That Ground' — Stranger Things Showrunners Confirm Joseph Quinn Was Baiting Us: Eddie Munson Will Not Return for Season 5

Showrunners confirm Eddie Munson is dead and Joseph Quinn will not return for Season 5 as he has filmed five movies since, ending his Stranger Things role.

  • Co-Creator Matt Duffer confirmed Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn, is `fully under that ground` and will not return for Stranger Things Season 5.
  • Joseph Quinn has been booked solid, having filmed five movies recently and securing the George Harrison role in the Beatles biopic.
  • Given past examples of dead characters reappearing, Matt Duffer told Empire, `I love that Joe Quinn is toying with people! But no, he's dead.`
  • Munson's absence nonetheless leaves an imprint, as producers say Eddie Munson's presence will still be felt while Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Winona Ryder and other returning cast members keep fans and audience engaged.
  • Season 5 debuts in three parts, with Volume 1 on November 26, Volume 2 on December 25 and the series finale on December 31; Ross Duffer said, `We spent a full year filming this season` and captured over 650 hours of footage.
