Stranger Things’ final season 5 is in the works, and fans are buzzing with excitement. But with every season, there are questions about which beloved characters will return and who won’t be making a comeback.
Since this is the show’s final season, these questions have intensified from fans. Thankfully, we’ve got the lowdown on who’s in and out in the upcoming season.
Cast members who might not return for Stranger Things season 5 are- Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn), Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), Argyle (Eduardo Franco), Suzie (Gabriela Pizzolo), Kali (Linnea Berthelsen), and Dimitri (Tom Wlaschiha). However, the core cast- Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and others, joined by Sadie Sink and Jamie Campbell Bower’s Vecna, will be back.
Who Are Not Returning to Stranger Things Season 5? Who Is Coming Back?
Let’s begin with a sad list of goodbyes.
Eddie Munson, portrayed by Joseph Quinn, left us heartbroken in Stranger Things season 4. Many hoped for his return, given the show’s penchant for surprises.
However, Joseph Quinn was missing from the season 5 cast photo, dampening hopes of Eddie’s comeback. His absence hints that we won’t see him in the next installment.
Argyle, played by Eduardo Franco, is another notable absence. Despite his involvement in the road trip with Eleven, Will, Mike, and Jonathan in season 4, Franco revealed he didn’t receive an invitation to join the final season.
While there’s still time, it’s looking unlikely that Argyle will return.
Dr. Martin Brenner, portrayed by Matthew Modine, has been instrumental in the series. Despite his apparent demise in season 4, Matthew Modine expressed interest in returning for the final season, hinting that Brenner might not be as gone as we think.
While there’s a chance, Modine’s absence from the cast photo makes his return uncertain.
Suzie, played by Gabriela Pizzolo, played a crucial role in previous seasons. However, her absence from the main cast photo raises questions about her return.
It seems unlikely that we’ll witness her parachuting in to save the day again, especially considering the events of season 4.
Kali, also known as Eight and Eleven’s older “sister,” was expected to return, but it didn’t happen in season 4.
Linnea Berthelsen, who portrayed Kali, was not featured in the season 5 cast photo, suggesting that her character may not play a significant role in the final season.
Dimitri, portrayed by Tom Wlaschiha, played a pivotal role in season 4. His absence from the cast photo indicates he might not return in a substantial capacity.
With a multitude of characters to wrap up the storyline, it’s unclear if Dimitri fits into the final season’s narrative.
So, which cast members are definitely returning?
The core cast, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and others, is expected to make a comeback.
Sadie Sink’s return as Max has also been confirmed, although her role remains uncertain. Additionally, Jamie Campbell Bower’s character, Vecna, will have a significant presence in the final season, promising more thrills and mysteries.
As production for Stranger Things season 5 kicks off, fans eagerly await the return of their favorite characters and anticipate the surprises the Duffer Brothers have in store.
Stay tuned for more Stranger Things updates, and prepare for another thrilling season!
