The TV producer went on, \u201cNo, sadly, RIP. He\u2019s fully under that ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In fact, Duffer noted it should\u2019ve been obvious that Quinn wasn\u2019t returning for the final season of \u201cStranger Things,\u201d given the British actor is booked and busy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/powerwomensummit2025.splashthat.com\/Creators\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cJoe is so busy anyway, that everyone should know he\u2019s not coming back,\u201d Duffer added. \u201cHe\u2019s shot like five movies since!
