Argyle wasn't the regular friend, he is a cool friend
Argyle is the cool stoner friend. He is Jonathan Byers's best friend who works a deliveryman for Surfer Boy Pizza in Lenora Hills, California. He is a likable stoner who aided Mike, Will, and Jonathan in their cross-country journey to save Eleven and return her to Hawkins, Indiana. During spring break of 1986, Argyle's life goes spiraling when he finds out Jonathan, his younger brother, Will, and their friends, Mike and Eleven have endured conflicts with government agents and a dark dimension known as the "Upside Down".
Is Argyle needed in 'Stranger Things' Season 5?
It made sense for Argyle to stick around for 'Stranger Things' Season 4, it will be harder for Season 5 to make his story work. Most of the other new arrivals from 'Stranger Things' Season 4 are dead, from the tragic Eddie to the loathsome jock Jason. Argyle, on the other hand, is simply hanging around in Hawkins without a care in the world and with no apparent concern about his job, his friends, and his family, all of whom he seemingly abandoned to join the boys on their road trip.
However, 'Stranger Things' Season 5 needs to work out a way to use Arygle that involves more than merely ignoring his presence until he is needed for comic relief. The longer that 'Stranger Things' Season 5 keeps its main cast together, the more out-of-place Argyle will appear in an ensemble who have otherwise all known each other for years.
Regardless, the lead actor, Noah Schnapp has recently disclosed that principal photography for 'Stranger Things' Season 5 is scheduled to begin in May 2023.
