Duffer Brothers Rule Out Eddie Munson’s Return in 'Stranger Things' Final Season

They told Empire the character will stay dead as the Netflix series readies a three-part holiday rollout.

Overview

  • Matt Duffer said Joseph Quinn is not coming back, adding the actor has been tied up with multiple films since season 4.
  • Season 5 will debut in three volumes on Netflix: Nov. 26, Dec. 25, and Dec. 31 for the series finale.
  • Official trailers nod to the character’s legacy with scenes at his gravesite, signaling his absence will factor into the story world.
  • The creators acknowledged past instances of deceased characters reappearing but said Eddie will not follow that pattern.
  • New casting includes Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay, and the Duffers have framed the finale as a cinematic send-off for the series.
