The actor became an instant fan favourite for playing Eddie Munson, the leader of The Hellfire Club, in season four of the hit Netflix series. However, his newly established following was soon left devastated when his character met a grisly demise.

Despite Eddie seemingly dying, though, fans have remained hopeful that the character will somehow make a return. And now Quinn himself has further stoked speculation by teasing his possible involvement in the fifth season.

Quinn was asked by ET about the series while appearing on the red carpet for his latest movie A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel to 2018’s A Quiet Place and 2022’s A Quiet Place Part II.

According to the actor, the “chances are high” that he reunite with the cast and crew at some point in the future, though not necessarily for work purposes. “I love those guys! I’d love to come and say hello,” said Quinn.

When the reporter told him that some fans have a feeling he’ll be coming back as Eddie, Quinn replied: “I might have that feeling, too… Or maybe I don’t. Who knows? I don’t know! Who knows?

“You know what I’m talking about,” said the reporter, to which Quinn responded: “Maybe I do.”

Speaking about the fifth season more generally, the actor added: “I’m sure they’re working very hard to land the plane.

“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.”

Quinn said he has “no doubts” that the cast, crew, and creators are “gonna deliver it in a pretty epic finale”.

Stranger Things season 5 is currently in production, having previously been delayed by the Hollywood writers’ strike. In January this year, the show announced that the cast had reunited to begin work on the final season.
