Stranger Things star Sadie Sink “didn’t think people would care” about Max

Stranger Things star Sadie Sink "didn't think people would care" about Max

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of Stranger Things, I can confidently say that Sadie Sink’s journey as Max is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to seamlessly blend into an already established powerhouse cast and win the hearts of fans worldwide is truly commendable.


In the hit series “Stranger Things,” Sadie Sink has taken on one of the most challenging roles. Following an incredibly successful debut in season 1, her character Max was introduced in season 2, which placed significant pressure on the young actress as she joined a well-established and highly popular cast. Despite these challenges, she fit right in, winning over viewers’ hearts and becoming one of the show’s most cherished characters. Max is set to play a crucial part in the series during its fifth and concluding season.

At the close of season 4, Max ended up in a coma after clashing with Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) during a significant battle. Her condition was fragile, but it’s clear she’ll pull through and re-enter the fray for the climactic showdown on the series. “I enjoy being put to the test,” Sink said when asked about Max’s potential improvement in season 5 by Variety.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but reflect on Max’s incredible journey so far in the world of Stranger Things. From her bond with her brother to the heart-stopping encounters with Vecna, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster ride that I won’t forget anytime soon. In fact, her scene is undeniably one of the most iconic moments in Stranger Things history, forever linked with the haunting melody of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.”

It deeply touched Sink to see how swiftly fans embraced Max, as she hadn’t anticipated such widespread interest in her character’s story. In her own words, ” frankly, I didn’t think people would be so invested in her journey.” She felt more like saying, “That’s kind of neat.”

Sadie Sink “forgot” how tough Stranger Things is to film

Despite facing some challenges along the way due to union strikes last year, production for the 8-episode final season is currently underway and the team is putting in a lot of hard work to create something extraordinary. Filming resumed back in January and continues at this moment.

Last week, I was consistently working on the project, and I found myself exclaiming something like, “Wow, I’d forgotten how challenging this production is.” Sink continued, emphasizing that camaraderie is key here. It’s not about individual accomplishments; instead, it’s about ensuring the best possible outcome for the show itself.

It’s anticipated that Stranger Things Season 5 will debut around 2025. However, fear not! The story isn’t quite finished yet. Netflix is still working on new adventures in the Upside Down, as they’ve got at least one spinoff project underway.
