Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

Horror, sci-fi, action, fantasy, and drama—Netflix used all these ingredients to serve up its main course of content, <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/">Stranger Things</a> 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 <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/">Millie Bobby Brown</a>’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!
<h2>This character will be sitting out season 5 of Stranger Things</h2>
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, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-true-hero-of-stranger-things-season-4-volume-2-is-argyle-and-not-eleven-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argyle was the unsung hero of season 4</a>. 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. 
<h2>Eduardo Franco revealed what happened</h2>
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 <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-netflix-shares-the-first-crew-picture-of-stranger-things-as-season-5-starts-production/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the first photo of the Stranger Things sets shared to X (previously Twitter) earlier this week</a>. 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.
