Stranger Things season 5 role for Max teased by Sadie Sink: “They love having me run”

As a devoted Stranger Things fan who has followed the heart-wrenching journey of Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) since season 1, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and concern as we await the fifth season. The cliffhanger at the end of season 4 left us all on edge, with our beloved Max in a coma, seemingly unable to wake up.


In the midst of Season 5’s filming for Netflix’s Stranger Things, there remains some uncertainty about the future of one particular character.

At the end of season 4’s last episode, the character Max Mayfield, portrayed by Sadie Sink, sustained grievous injuries at the hands of the malevolent entity known as Vecna.

Additionally, though her life was miraculously spared by her dear companion Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), she found herself slipping into a deep coma, leaving doctors uncertain about the possibility of her regaining consciousness.

Although it’s been confirmed that Sink will appear in season 5, we don’t have definite information yet about the extent of Max’s involvement in the series finale.

Recently, during an interview with Variety, actress Sink along with the show’s creators Matt and Ross Duffer have subtly suggested that character Max might make a comeback, albeit in a mysterious manner.

When asked if Sink’s continued shooting implies that Max will recover from his coma, Sink casually replied: “They enjoy my being busy.”

In regard to the meaning, viewers must stay tuned to discover more, since Sink has announced that she won’t reveal any further details about the subject.

As someone who has been following the popular show for quite some time now, I have a strong feeling that Max is going to leave her mark on this season. This sentiment is reinforced by Matt Duffer’s confirmation that she will indeed play a significant role in the upcoming episodes. Having witnessed the growth and development of characters over previous seasons, I am confident that Max will add an exciting new dimension to the series with her unique talents and storyline. I can hardly wait to see how her character unfolds!

Ross Duffer swiftly intervened, stating, “However, we prefer not to disclose the method behind it.”

Later on, Matt Duffer mentioned: “We shot a scene recently with [Sink], and it was incredibly emotional. I can’t comprehend how she manages to hit those high notes.”

Last year on Stranger Things Day, the Duffer brothers unveiled the initial draft of Season 5’s screenplay on platform X.

In the realm of cinematic experiences, I found myself enveloped by an ominous veil of darkness, chilled to the bone by the mournful howl of the wind. The ancient trees around me groaned in distress, adding to the eerie symphony that filled the air. Suddenly, a hauntingly beautiful child’s voice echoed, carrying with it the melody of a song I thought I had left behind long ago.

It’s often believed that the tune in question might be Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” However, this song didn’t prevent Max (played by Sadie Sink) from meeting her fate at the hands of Vecna. Instead, if Max were in another dimension, it could potentially sustain her life.

Could this be the ‘running’ that Sink was referring to? We’ll just have to wait and see…

It’s fairly certain that enthusiasts of Stranger Things are eagerly anticipating learning more about the story! Here’s hoping Max experiences a brighter arc in this new season.
