Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn lands major blockbuster role

The spin-off film will be directed by Pig's Michael Sarnoski and based on an original idea from John Krasinski, who wrote, directed and starred in 2018's A Quiet Place alongside his wife, Oscar nominee Emily Blunt.

RadioTimes.com has reached out to Joseph Quinn's representative and Paramount for comment.

A Quiet Place debuted in cinemas in 2018, starring Krasinski and Blunt as a married couple trying to keep their family alive in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by blind monsters who hunt by sound.

The critically-acclaimed film was a box office hit, with a sequel starring Cillian Murphy arriving in cinemas last year.

Day One will be one of Quinn's first film projects since his role in Stranger Things catapulted him to worldwide fame with the release of its fourth season.

Prior to Stranger Things, Quinn had appeared in Dickensian, Game of Thrones, Howards End, Timewasters, Les Misérables and, more recently, Small Axe and Strike.

While Stranger Things fans will know that season 4 didn't end too well for Eddie, many believe we haven't seen the last of the Hellfire Club's leader after the official Stranger Things Twitter account revealed that season 5's first episode is titled The Crawl – a potential reference to Eddie's puppet tattoo.

Meanwhile, Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers have teased that the fifth and final season is going to be just as emotional as its predecessors, with the pair revealing that their pitch made Netflix executives cry.

Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are available on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £6.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
