Joseph Quinn Might Return As Eddie Munson In "Stranger Things," And I *Need* It To Be True

I'm gonna re-enter my Hellfire Club era, I fear.

Summer of 2022 feels like such a fever dream, because, like, remember when the entire world got obsessed with Eddie Munson?

Just picture those Hellfire Club shirts as far as the eye could see, "Master of Puppets" playing in the distance, the "Chrissy, Wake Up" song stuck in your head...

And every single person you've ever met mimicking this:

And if you watched all of Stranger Things' fourth season, you know that our beloved Eddie met his demise in the Upside Down after sacrificing himself for the sake of his friends. He played "Master of Puppets" to attract the demobats...remember? It was a whole thing.

And people (aka me) were inconsolable.

So, now two years later, Stranger Things is back in production, and Joseph Quinn, who played Eddie, has some thoughts about whether or not our favorite will return.

During a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, he was asked what the chances are he might spend some time with the crew again. "The chances are high," he said. "I love those guys! I'd love to say hello."

"I'm sure they're working very hard to land the plane," he added. "It's been a long time that they've been working on that, so I'm really delighted that they're kind of getting towards the end, and they're having a nice time."

"I'm sure they're gonna deliver it in a pretty epic finale. I have no doubts," he said.

Then, when ET's Rachel Smith said she had a feeling fans might see Eddie again, Joseph said, "Do you? You have a feeling, huh. I might have that feeling too...or maybe I don't? Who knows!"

This tease comes just a few months after a fan asked Joseph flat out during a fan convention if he was "coming back next season." After getting a little *too* giggly, Joseph said, "I do know...but I'm not telling you."
