“Stranger Things 5”: Don’t Expect to See Eduardo Franco’s Argyle in the Final Season

Stranger Things Argyle

Filming is officially underway on “Stranger Things 5,” which is set to be the final season of the hit Netflix series. A behind the scenes photo shared by Netflix earlier this week previewed all the familiar faces who will be back for Season 5 – including David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder and Maya Hawke – but there’s one actor you didn’t see in there.

One of the new characters introduced in “Stranger Things 4” was Eduardo Franco’s Argyle, the stoner employee of Surfer Boy Pizza who ended up playing a pivotal role in the season’s California-set events. Like most characters on the show, audiences ended up falling in love with Argyle, but don’t expect to see the character return in “Stranger Things 5.”

Franco reveals on the Steve Varley Show, “I never got a phone call. So yeah, I think that’s it.”

Eduardo Franco can currently be seen in Hulu’s new movie Self Reliance.

The Season 4 finale set the stage for a final season that will bring the action entirely back to Hawkins, with the rift between Hawkins and the Upside Down now completely opened up by the monster behind it all, Vecna. When can you expect Season 5 to premiere? Likely 2025.

Of course, just because the main series is coming to an end doesn’t mean future “Stranger Things” projects aren’t on the way. Could we be seeing spinoff shows in the future?

The Duffer Brothers tease, “There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes.”

The second season of animated spinoff “Velma” is now streaming on Max, and it sounds like Velma and the “Scooby-Doo” gang may also be headed back into the world of live action.

Variety reports this afternoon that Netflix is planning a live action “Scooby-Doo” television series, with the streamer actively “nearing a deal” with Warner Bros. Television.

The series is being described in Variety’s report as a “one-hour drama project,” with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg attached to write and executive produce.

Executive producers on the upcoming “Scooby-Doo” Netflix series also include André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner for Midnight Radio, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman executive producing through Berlanti Productions. Varierty’s report continues, “Jonathan Gabay of Berlanti Productions and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.”

“Scooby-Doo” has mostly been an animated series over the years, but there were two live action movies in 2002 and 2004: Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

The live action cast for those two films included Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, and Linda Cardellini as Velma.
