Fans around the world are waiting for news about the final season of one of the most iconic TV series in recent times. Strange things. After four seasons, the series’ long history will conclude with the final season, and the fan-favorite teens will hopefully win against Vecna.
Regardless, Max Mayfield, played by the talented Sadie Sink, is one of the fan-favorite characters that viewers keep wondering about. In season 4, the character fell into a coma, which raises significant doubts about how her story arc will be concluded in the upcoming season of the series.
In an interview, Sink herself spoke about her iconic role and revealed that she will play an important role in the upcoming final iteration of Strange things.
Sadie Sink gives cryptic hints about her character’s future in Stranger Things
Sink’s portrayal of Max as a character has proven to be extremely personal for the actress. In an interview with Variety, she revealed that she has always relied on her character’s circumstances to inspire her performances. Recently, however, her personal life has intersected with her work on Strange Things (diversity):
But as time went on, things from my personal life came to the surface that made things even worse.
This has allowed the actress to further enhance her performance as Max when the actor finally spoke about the production of Season 5. Speaking about the camaraderie between the main cast, Sink revealed that the last few months of filming were nostalgic for the entire group as she hinted at her character’s possible awakening in Season 5:
They love letting me run. That’s all I can say.
Of course, it can be assumed that Sink will also play an important role in the upcoming story, even if it is not a direct hint. Of course, it will inevitably involve Max’s awakening from his coma, which will be a major twist in season 5.
Stranger Things The makers are also silent about Max’s fate in season 5
The lack of clues about Max’s fate seems to be quite intentional. Following the actor’s example, the creators also remained secretive about what might happen to the character in the final season.
The Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross, have confirmed that Max will play a role, but have not revealed anything else. The two claim the following:
She will play a role in the season,” says Matt, and Ross adds: “We don’t want to give away how that is possible.
Additionally, Matt Duffer spoke about Sadie Sinks’ performance as Max, claiming that Sinks’ confidence has only increased since her start:
I think she has simply become more confident as an actress and in her decisions.
Matt Duffer further claimed that Sink has developed the dramatic ability to produce “absolutely heartbreaking” performances, which only suggests that the creators will try to bring her back from the coma. Regardless, all will be revealed when Stranger Things Season 5 will finally be released sometime in 2025.
Until then, fans can watch the existing seasons on Netflix.
