Although Eddie Munson’s actor, Joseph Quinn, had already addressed the unlikely chance that his character would come back in Stranger Things Season 5, fans are still hoping to see the new fan-favorite resurrect for the show’s final season, seeing as his death had been too abrupt from Season 4. Joseph Quinn is once again faced with the question on his return to the show.

The Duffer Brothers had already posted their premiere title for Season 5 Episode 1, which is ‘The Crawl’, sparking fan theories of an even higher possibility it could be pertaining to one of the characters, not only Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) himself, but the likelihood that it’s Eddie Munson ‘crawling’ back from the dead as a vampire.
If you can recall, Eddie had sacrificed himself in the Upside Down to save Dustin and the others from the DemoBats, which resulted in him getting bitten by them instead. However, fans have theorized over and over again on the many easter eggs they have spotted in Season 4, which lean on the logic behind the Dungeons and Dragons board game.

Recently speaking with GQ, when asked if he could ever come back to Stranger Things for the finale, the actor reiterates what he had already stated before, all the while referencing what the Duffer Brothers and director and producer Shawn Levy announced, too. Check out Quinn’s full comment below:
“Yeah, I’ve said I don’t know, because I really don’t know. [Director and producer] Shawn Levy has said it publicly. I think [Eddie’s return] would be very, very, very unlikely. He seems pretty f-cking dead to me.”
Seeing as Quinn is simply saying he is not informed on his return on the show, we’ll have to wait for further announcements and soon-to-be released teasers on this one. Meanwhile, the actor’s career is certainly not stopping with his role as Eddie as he is set to star in A Quiet Place: Day One with Black Panther’s Lupita Nyong’o soon.
Stranger Things’ fifth and final season is currently in the works but is expected for release in 2024 on Netflix, with A Quiet Place: Day One premiering on March 8, 2024.
