Duffer Brothers Reveal Joseph Quinn’s Exit from Stranger Things Season 5 as Character Is Confirmed Gone
The Duffer Brothers recently confirmed that Joseph Quinn’s character, Eddie Munson, will not return for Stranger Things Season 5. This announcement has left fans of the series buzzing with reactions, as Eddie quickly became a fan favorite in Season 4.
Eddie Munson’s Fate in Stranger Things
Joseph Quinn’s portrayal of Eddie Munson, a heavy metal rocker and leader of the Hellfire Club, was a standout in the previous season. Unfortunately, the Duffer Brothers clarified that Eddie is not returning, stating, “Joe is so busy anyway, that everyone should know he’s not coming back. He’s shot like five movies since!”
In Season 4, Eddie played a crucial role in the battle against Vecna, helping to divert the Demobats while the group attacked Creel House. However, his character met a tragic end, which complicates the possibility of a return. Matt Duffer explained further, confirming, “No, sadly, RIP. He’s fully under that ground.”

While Eddie Munson’s absence is notable, Season 5 will introduce new characters. Linda Hamilton will join the cast as Dr. Kay, described as an intelligent and intimidating government agent tracking Eleven. Matt Duffer remarked that Dr. Kay is not just a scientist, but she is also capable of defending herself if necessary.
