Stranger Things Creators Confirm Season 4's Most Upsetting Death
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things season 4
Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things, confirm that Joseph Quinn's beloved Eddie Munson is definitely dead. After first hitting Netflix in 2016, the horror/ fantasy series returned this past May with season 4. Stranger Things season 4 quickly became a hit for the streamer, shattering viewership records and introducing a brand new threat for the show's heroes to deal with in the form of Jamie Campbell Bower's Vecna.
Season 4 saw the return of beloved characters like Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Max (Sadie Sink), Steve (Joe Keery), and even Hopper (David Harbour), despite the character's apparent death at the end of season 3. In addition to all the returning familiar faces, Stranger Things season 4 also introduces a number of new characters, including Quinn's Eddie, the leader of Hawkins High School's Hellfire Club. After spending much of season 4 on the run, mistakenly pursued by the police and the vengeful Jason Carver (Mason Dye) for Chrissy's (Grace Van Dien) murder, the Stranger Things season 4 finale saw Eddie sacrifice himself in an attempt to distract Vecna, ultimately seeming to die in Dustin's (Gaten Matarazzo) arms.
