Stranger Things season 5 will primarily take place in Hawkins, leaving Argyle’s role in the final installment a mystery.

Introduced as Jonathan's stoner best friend in California, Argyle becomes mixed up in the fight against Vecna and the Upside Down when the Byers family uses his Surfer Boy Pizza van for a dangerous cross-country road trip.
The ending for Stranger Things season 4, volume 2 sees Argyle, Mike, the Byers boys, and Eleven arrive in a completely destroyed Hawkins just two days after Vecna killed Max and opened the fourth gate.
