Duffer Brothers Confirm Joseph Quinn’s Absence from Stranger Things Season 5

The Duffer Brothers have officially confirmed the absence of Joseph Quinn in the upcoming season five of Stranger Things. Fans hoping for the return of Eddie Munson, Quinn’s character, will be disappointed.

Joseph Quinn’s Departure from Stranger Things

During a recent interview with Empire, Matt Duffer addressed the rumors surrounding Quinn’s return. He stated, “Joe is so busy anyway, that everyone should know he’s not coming back. He’s shot like five movies since!” This definitively puts to rest any hope that Eddie, who perished in season four, will rise again.
