Joe Keery says he and 'Stranger Things' costar Joseph Quinn have formed a bond 'for life'

• Joe Keery said that he and Joseph Quinn formed a bond "for life" while filming "Stranger Things 4."
• Quinn joined the show's cast for its latest season alongside Keery, who joined in season one.

"Stranger Things" star Joe Keery said that he and his season four costar Joseph Quinn have a bond "for life," despite the fact that Quinn's character Eddie Munson died at the end of the season.

The actor and musician told Unilad that he and Quinn had gotten close while shooting season four during the pandemic.

"We spent a lot of time together, obviously, when we were shooting — and especially because it was during the pandemic, for the most part," Keery told the publication. "So that's a bond that will be there for life, for sure."

Keery plays Steve Harrington on the Netflix supernatural drama and has been part of the show's cast since its first season in 2016. Quinn joined the cast for season four, which premiered in two parts in May and July, respectively. His now-beloved character Eddie Munson is a high-school outcast and the leader of Hawkins High School's "Dungeons and Dragons" club. In the season finale, he heroically sacrifices himself during a journey into the parallel Upside Down dimension.

In the fourth season, Eddie and Steve come to work together, meaning that Keery and Quinn shared a multitude of moments on-screen. They helped each other off-screen as well: Quinn, who is British, previously said on the "Off Menu" podcast that Keery reassured him when he was spiraling about his American accent on the show, promising him that it was "gonna be fine."

Keery told Unilad that he would miss being on set with his costar.

"I don't really remember what my reaction was," he told Unilad of learning about Quinn's character's death. "I was bummed though. It was probably just because I enjoy spending time with Joe, and he's a good presence to be around."
