Joseph Quinn’s cherished Stranger Things character, Eddie Munson, suffered a tragic fate during the fourth season of the popular Netflix supernatural show. Given that it’s Hawkins and all the odd occurrences linked to the Upside Down, is it possible that Eddie won’t return forever? There might be a hint that Quinn’s character could reappear in Stranger Things for its final season.
The fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” which is made up of eight episodes and takes place in autumn of 1987, will see the main cast returning, including Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers. The focus of the season will be on the characters reuniting in Hawkins to deal with the aftermath of the openings created by Vecna and the military lockdown imposed on the town. Despite a three-year break following the cliffhanger at the end of season 4, fans are still eagerly awaiting the release of season 5. The announcement video for the new season garnered over 250 million impressions across all social media platforms, making it the most viewed announcement video in Netflix history.
Joseph Quinn Hints at Possible Eddie Munson Return for Stranger Things Season 5
Fans of Stranger Things will always remember Eddie Munson, skillfully portrayed by Joseph Quinn, and his poignant rendition of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” in the Upside Down, a performance that served as a clever distraction for demobats to allow Steve, Nancy, and Robin to enter Vecna’s lair. Some Reddit users speculate that Eddie might reappear in Hawkins for the series finale, leaving hope for his potential return.
It’s speculated by another enthusiast of ‘Stranger Things’ that Eddie might still be trapped within the Upside Down and could potentially resurface when the group confronts Vecna one last time. However, given Quinn’s extensive work schedule since his departure from ‘Stranger Things’ season 4 – with projects like ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, ‘Gladiator 2’, ‘Warfare’, and ‘Fantastic Four’ on his plate – it seems rather improbable that he could find time for a cameo, although unusual events often transpire in the world of this series!
Fortunately, we don’t have much time left to speculate whether these theories and hints are genuine or not, because Stranger Things season 5, volume 1 will debut on Netflix on November 26, 2025. This means we won’t be waiting around for long!
