    Joseph Quinn's new character, Eddie Munson within Stranger Things Season 4 was beloved by fans everywhere making Quinn's star rise. Now, after months of anticipation, fans can see Quinn joining another popular horror-based franchise. 

    According to a report from Deadline, Joseph Quinn is set to join the cast of A Quiet Place: Day One, a spinoff film of A Quiet Place developed by John Krasinski. Quinn will co-star in the movie alongside Lupita Nyong'o who was just recently added to the movie set to be directed by Michael Sarnoski.

    Stranger Things Season 4 was one of my favorite seasons of television all year long and in recent memory. Part of the reason for that was the familiar favorites that have been with the Netflix original for past seasons, but Quinn's Eddie Munson was a welcome addition and added an element that the show was missing. Despite the acting talents throughout the show, not all of the stars have taken off in the same way that Quinn has despite only appearing in the most recent season. 

    Sarnoski, who previously directed last year's drama, Pig starring Nicolas Cage, signed on to direct A Quiet Place: Day One back in January while Nyong'o has been attached for only a short time entering negotiations in early-November. Nyong'o can be seen in theaters currently reprising her role as Nakia in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

    A Quiet Place: Day One, though being an additional installment within the horror franchise, is not a continuation of the previous two films, but rather a spinoff that will probably not see John Krasinski nor Emily Blunt reprise their roles. However, Day One's story was written by Krasinski himself and he is developing the third film in the main storyline currently as Paramount is hoping to create their own universe following the rousing success of the first two movies. A Quiet Place: Day One hits theaters on March 8, 2024.
