Stranger Things fans, Netflix has heard your requests. A spinoff project has just received the green light for a fan favorite character from Stranger Things Season 4.
In an announcement, it was revealed that an origin story will be in the works for Joseph Quinn's eccentric character, Eddie Munson.
Here's what we know about this spinoff project.
Will Joseph Quinn Be In It?
Although it is indeed good news, the announcement comes with some bad to it.
The spinoff project will come in the form of a novel, which will be written by Caitlin Schneiderhan and published by Penguin Random House. This means that Joseph Quinn has not yet been tapped to reprise his iconic role.
But it's also possible that the novel, entitled Flight of Icarus, will be adapted into a TV show right away. When this happens, we'll likely see Quinn reprise his role as the leader of the Hellfire Club, providing it isn't too far off in the past.
What Will Eddie Munson’s Spinoff Be About?
The full synopsis of Flight of Icarus reads:
As revealed, Flight of Icarus will be a novel set in 1984. This is around two years before the events of Stranger Things Season 4.
The novel follows Eddie's origin story before becoming friends with Dustin (played by Gaten Matarazzo) and having the whole town look for him like some criminal.
This time around, Eddie is working hard to get his band, Corroden Coffin, a recording deal after his meeting with Paige, a record producer.
But to make his dream happen, he needs money. The book will explore the things Eddie does to achieve his goal.
As Schneiderhan says:
When Is Flight of Icarus Novel Coming Out?
The title of Schneiderhan's novel actually comes from the band, Iron Maiden's single released in 1983.
The Stranger Things spinoff novel will be released on October 31, 2023. The official cover has been revealed by the publication too.
When Is Stranger Things Season 5 Coming Out?
Speaking of Stranger Things, fans are eager to know when Stranger Things Season 5 will be coming out.
As of this writing, however, there has not been any announcement on when the show will be released on Netflix. There are reports that filming will take place in May or June 2023, which is at least a month from now.
If this is the case, it's possible that the show will be released in 2024. We'll update this post once an announcement has been made.
