With season 5 of Stranger Things finally in production

‘Stranger Things’ Losing Their MVP for Season 5 Might Just Be the Biggest Loss for the Last Millie Bobby Brown Outing

Horror, sci-fi, action, fantasy, and drama—Netflix used all these ingredients to
serve up its main course of content, Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] that viewers can never get
their fill of. The only thing missing from the enthralling series was a pinch of
comedy, which it made up for with a sprinkle of refreshing lightheartedness in
season 4. So, what is next for Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/]’s Eleven and the gang? 

The crew is currently working their socks off to deliver the answer to this
question. But a plot twist has emerged in the guise of a fan-favorite character
taking a rain check from the final season!


THIS CHARACTER WILL BE SITTING OUT SEASON 5 OF STRANGER THINGS

It was confirmed today that the man who lent his comedic presence to season 4 of
Stranger Things, Eduardo Franco will not be reprising his part of Argyle in the
final season.  This news has devastated fans who appreciated this funky
enigmatic character. After all, Argyle was the unsung hero of season 4

His laid-back stoner vibes were just as crucial to the series as his
quick-thinking maneuvers that ultimately saved Eleven.

The Surfer Boy Pizza employee who was introduced as Jonathan Byer’s best bro
became an unmissable presence despite being a side character. With all
narratives coming to a head in season 5, the Hawkins gang could have done with
some of Argyle’s hair-flipping flair as a break from the drama that is going to
ensue.

Considering how Franco was let go, fans are certainly irked by this decision all
the more. 


EDUARDO FRANCO REVEALED WHAT HAPPENED

Franco appeared in an episode of the Steve Varley Show podcast a couple of days
ago. During it, he was asked why he did not appear in the first photo of the
Stranger Things sets shared to X (previously Twitter) earlier this week
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-netflix-shares-the-first-crew-picture-of-stranger-things-as-season-5-starts-production/].
The enigmatic 29-year-old confessed he never “got a phone call” requesting him
to revive his Argyle part in the series! 



With a grim expression, he relayed his appreciation for those who had raised
“concern” over his removal. The host voiced everybody’s thoughts by saying that
maybe there was still “hope” for that to happen. Meanwhile, the showrunners have
not yet explained the reason behind this now-finalized move. Well, forlorn fans
could still call the number on the Surfer Boy Pizza truck to hear Argyle’s voice
talking back to them as consolation.

With season 5 of Stranger Things finally in production, a devastating blow has just been delivered through news of a missing cast member.

Ibadat Kaur, a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie, has writ over 500+ copies on the latest updates of celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill. Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many. Away from work, her time spent training her dog, Raven, keeps her going.
