The pattern: Franco’s filmography leans toward comedies, with occasional dramatic roles.

TV series with Eduardo Franco as a main or recurring cast member

Franco’s television credits include both live-action and voice roles. His most high-profile TV work remains Stranger Things. For more actor filmographies, see our guide on Asa Germann Movies and TV Shows: Full List (2025).

  • American Vandal (2017) — 1 episode as Spencer Diaz (IMDb)
  • Stranger Things (2022) — 8 episodes as Argyle (IMDb)
  • Gabby’s Dollhouse (2021–present) — voice of DJ Catnip, recurring (IMDb)

The pattern: Franco’s television work is sparse but highly visible. Each role has been on a Netflix-owned or Netflix-distributed series, making him a recurring presence on the platform.

What is Eduardo Franco’s role in Stranger Things?

Argyle: character description and impact

In Stranger Things season 4, Eduardo Franco plays Argyle, a laid-back pizza delivery driver and the best friend of Jonathan Byers. Argyle becomes part of the California crew, providing comic relief and unexpected heroism (Wikipedia (editor-reviewed biography)). The character was an instant fan favorite, largely because Franco infused him with genuine warmth under the stoner exterior.

Why this matters

Argyle’s popularity turned Franco into a household name among Gen Z audiences. Before Stranger Things, his IMDb page averaged a few hundred searches per month; after season 4, that number jumped to tens of thousands.

The implication: Argyle’s role was a career catalyst that transformed Franco from a supporting player into a recognized face.

Behind the scenes of Stranger Things Season 4

Franco auditioned for the role after the Duffer Brothers specifically wanted a new character to lighten the tone of the expanded California storyline. According to Remezcla (Latino culture and entertainment outlet), he was already on their radar after Booksmart. The role required him to improvise many of his lines, which he credits to his background in improv comedy.

Is Eduardo Franco in Welcome to Derry?

Casting details for Welcome to Derry

Yes — Eduardo Franco is cast in the upcoming It prequel series Welcome to Derry. The series is set in the 1960s and explores the origins of Pennywise the Clown. Franco’s role has not been officially described, but TV Insider (entertainment news outlet) lists him among the cast. Production began in 2023, and a release date has not yet been announced.

The catch

While Welcome to Derry marks Franco’s return to genre television, the show’s delay in announcing a premiere window leaves fans waiting. HBO Max is expected to release the series in 2025 or 2026.

What this means: Franco’s casting in both Stranger Things and Welcome to Derry signals a niche in nostalgic, horror-tinged streaming content.

Comparison with Stranger Things

Both Stranger Things and Welcome to Derry are supernatural ensemble dramas set in the 1980s and 1960s, respectively. Franco’s casting in both suggests he is becoming a go-to actor for nostalgic, horror-adjacent streaming content. However, Welcome to Derry is expected to be darker and less comedic, which could showcase a different facet of his acting range.

What are Eduardo Franco’s upcoming projects?

Scheduled film and TV releases

  • Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) — voice of DJ Catnip (TV Insider)
  • Welcome to Derry (TBD) — live-action role (TV Insider)
  • Hoppers (2026) — voice of Loaf (IMDb)
  • Goat (2026) — voice of Daryl (IMDb)

The implication: Franco is gradually shifting toward voice work, which offers steady income and lower visibility. His next live-action role after Welcome to Derry remains unannounced.

Confirmed but untitled projects

No additional live-action film roles have been officially confirmed for 2024 or beyond beyond those listed. Franco’s representatives have not commented on potential Stranger Things season 5 involvement, though it is widely assumed Argyle will return.

Bottom line: Franco has at least four confirmed projects in the pipeline through 2026. For viewers who want to see him in live-action, Welcome to Derry is the next likely opportunity.

The catch: The lack of additional live-action announcements suggests Franco may be prioritizing voice roles in the near term.

“Gabby’s Dollhouse was the first voice acting job I ever booked. I’ve learned so much from this job and now it’s a movie. Massive thank you to everyone…” — Eduardo Franco, via Instagram (IMDb)

“Eduardo Franco is an American actor and comedian.” — IMDb Biography (IMDb (actor biography))

Franco’s trajectory shows a deliberate build: from supporting roles in Netflix originals to a franchise-defining fan favorite. For a young actor still in his twenties, the foundation is strong. The open question is whether he will leverage that momentum into leading roles or continue as a sought-after character actor. For the viewer tracking his work, the best bet is to keep a Netflix subscription active — most of his library lives there.
