STRANGER THINGS Season 5 Vol.1 – First Look Trailer (2024) Netflix

After his emotional sacrifice in the Stranger Things season 4 finale, Eddie's potential return to the show has been a major question mark. Quinn himself recently shared a response, however, that hints audiences may not have seen the last of his character. In a recent interview with ET, Quinn teased Eddie's Stranger Things return by saying he "might have that feeling too" when a reporter expressed optimism about his character appearing in the new episodes. "Or maybe I don't," he quickly added, leaving the mystery alive.

While Quinn's comment can't be taken as a definitive statement that Eddie will return, it's the most obvious indication yet that viewers will see the character again. What remains unclear, however, is how the character could return. At this point, a full-on resurrection seems like a stretch, given how it would cheapen Eddie's sacrifice in the season 4 finale and derail what has the makings of an emotional arc for Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo).
