Stranger Things fans believe they have uncovered a major clue about Eddie Munson’s fate in the final season. And while the revelation might be bittersweet, it seems to settle the mystery surrounding the beloved character once and for all.

Introduced in season 4, Eddie Munson quickly became a fan favorite. His friendship with Dustin Henderson provided some of the most heartfelt moments of the season. But in a gut-wrenching finale, Eddie sacrifices himself to save his friends and Hawkins.

While Eddie Munson was presumed dead, some users theorized that he might return for the final season. Now a a recent update from the season 5 set appears to have confirmed Eddie’s fate.

Since the filming for Stranger Things 5 began, fans have been actively looking for any clues related to Eddie Munson’s fate. Recently it was reported that the cast and crew are filming for the final episode.

During one of the scenes, a memorial was spotted in downtown Hawkins. The memorial honors those who gave their lives to save the town, and eagle-eyed fans noticed Eddie Munson’s name among the fallen.

This memorial scene is reportedly set in 1989 after Hawkins has been restored.

The behind-the-scenes photo confirms that Eddie Munson will remain dead. However, his inclusion on the memorial indicates that the people of Hawkins will finally recognize him as a hero rather than an outcast. At the end of season 4, Eddie was still misrepresented as a murderer and cult leader.

Earlier, the leaked photos from the season 5 set showed Dustin Henderson visiting Eddie’s vandalized grave indicating that the town’s perception of him had not changed. Now, it seems something might happen between those moments that will redeem Eddie in the eyes of the community.

While Eddie Munson would not return from the dead, he still could appear in other ways. It is also possible that he will show up in flashback scenes or as a hallucination caused by Vecna to torment Dustin.

Though this news might disappoint fans hoping for Eddie’s comeback, it’s heartening to know that his sacrifice will not go unrecognized.
