Stranger Things Fans Finally Have Their Answer About Whether Joseph Quinn Will Be Back In Season 5

Stranger Things stars Natalia Dyer, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Joseph Quinn, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Sadie Sink and Caleb McLaughlin in season fourStranger Things bosses have confirmed that fans shouldn’t be looking out for an appearance from Joseph Quinn in the long-awaited fifth season.The British actor joined the award-winning Netflix show in its fourth run, which premiered in 2022, playing D&D club leader Eddie Munson.In the season four finale, Joseph’s character was seen sacrificing himself to protect Dustin Henderson, but given Stranger Things’ often unpredictable twists and turns, some were still left pondering if the Marvel star could return as Eddie in some capacity when the show returns later this year.However, co-creator Matt Duffer is now making a point of managing fans’ expectations.Referring to Joseph’s recent teases about Eddie’s fate in the press, Matt remarked to Empire: “I love that Joe Quinn is toying with people!”“But no, he’s dead,” he quickly added.Gaten Matarazzo and Joseph Quinn as Dustin Henderson and Eddie Munson in Stranger Things 4Since Stranger Things premiered, Joseph’s star has only continued to climb, thanks to his appearances in Gladiator II, the A Quiet Place prequel Day One and the Fantastic Four movie First Steps.Remarking on Joseph’s increased popularity, Matt continued: “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.”Joseph’s next project will be his biggest to date, as he’s set to portray George Harrison in Sam Mendes’ epic Beatles biopics, which will consist of four separate movies devoted to each member of the band.Meanwhile, Stranger Things is due to return to our screens in just over a month, with the second and third drops of season five following on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve respectively.It’s already been confirmed that Sadie Sink will be reprising her role as Max in the next batch of episodes, although a recent piece in Time confirmed that the character will be comatose for at least some of the season.MORE STRANGER THINGS:Stranger Things Creator Sets The Record Straight On 1 Major Rumour Ahead Of Season 5Winona Ryder 'Fought Hard' Over This 1 Aspect Of Her Stranger Things CharacterDavid Harbour Gets Very Honest About Why It's A 'Relief' That Stranger Things Is Almost Done
