Matt Duffer cites Joseph Quinn's packed film slate to shut down months of return rumors.

Overview

  • In a new Empire interview, the creators state definitively that Joseph Quinn will not appear in Season 5.
  • Quinn’s coy red‑carpet comments and profile listings had fueled persistent fan speculation about a cameo.
  • Promotional footage shows Dustin visiting Eddie’s gravesite, signaling the character’s lingering impact without an on‑screen return.
  • Netflix will release the eight‑episode final season in three drops: Nov. 26 (episodes 1–4), Dec. 25 (5–7), and Dec. 31 (finale).
  • Linda Hamilton joins the cast as Dr. Kay, described by the Duffers as a hyper‑intelligent government agent pursuing Eleven.
