Sean Astin, known for his roles in Lord of the Rings (LOTR) and "Stranger Things", raised uncertainties about his character's return in Season 5 during a recent appearance at LA Comic-Con, as per a report in The Direct.

Reflecting on his time in Stranger Things, where he portrayed Bob Newby in Season 2, Astin shared how fans often approach him, inquiring about his potential appearance in new episodes. In response, he humorously states, "No, I'm dead."
