New York [US]October 22 (ANI): Popular Netflix sci-fi series ‘Stranger Things’ character Eddie Munson will not make a comeback in the show’s final season. Creators Matt and Ross Duffer have officially confirmed that Eddie will not return in Stranger Things Season 5. According to The Hollywood Reporter, in a recent interview with a British film magazine, the Duffer brothers opened up about the ongoing rumors about Eddie’s possible return, saying that Joe Quinn is so busy with work that everyone should know “he’s not coming back.” “I love that Joe Quinn plays with people! But no, he’s dead,” Matt Duffer said. “Anyway, Joe is so busy that everyone should know he’s not coming back. He’s shot like five movies since then! When the hell does he have time to come shoot Stranger Things? No, unfortunately, RIP. He’s completely under that ground.” Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn, became a fan favorite in Season 4 for his heroic sacrifice. His emotional death scene, where he distracts the Demobats to help his friends, remains one of the most talked about moments in the series. Since leaving the show, Joseph Quinn has been busy with several major projects. He appeared in ‘Hoard’, ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, ‘Gladiator II’, ‘Warfare’ and ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’. Although Eddie won’t be back, fans can still look forward to the return of familiar faces including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Maya Hawke, Winona Ryder, David Harbor and Joe Keery. The Duffer brothers also teased a new addition to the cast, Linda Hamilton, who joins the series as Dr. Kay, a government agent tracking Eleven. Matt Duffer described her as “hyper-intelligent and intimidating,” “She’s a scientist, but if she needs to, she can fight and shoot a gun.” The new season will be released in three parts, around holiday weekends: Volume 1 on November 26 (consisting of four episodes), Volume 2 over Christmas (three episodes), and The Finale on New Year’s Eve. Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things is produced by Upside Down Pictures and 21 Laps Entertainment, with the Duffer Brothers serving as executive producers, along with 21 Laps Entertainment’s Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen.
