Warning: This article contains spoilers for season four of Stranger Things
Stranger Things star Sadie Sink has shared her hopes for Max’s future in the upcoming fifth season.
Sink first appeared as Max in the second season of the hit Netflix show and has become a firm favourite with fans. You can see her talk about her hopes for season five here:

As you may remember, season four was particularly rough on poor Max who became a target for the evil Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower).
Viewers were left heartbroken as Max appeared to die in boyfriend Lucas’ (Caleb McLaughlin) arms after her battle in the Upside Down.
Fortunately, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) was able to use her gift to bring Max back to life… albeit not in the best condition of her life.
The last we saw of Max, she was in a coma in a hospital bed with her body in a full plaster cast and her fate unknown.
During a recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sink, 20, admitted that all she really wants for Max in season five is for her to survive. That’s definitely a good start, if you ask me.
She said: “I’d like to see her awake. I wanna know if I have to get back in the body cast – I would like for that chapter to be closed.”
I’ll bet.
Sink went on to say she currently had no clue what was going to happen to Max in the next season.
And when Fallon joked that being stuck in the cast was ‘not the most fun’ part of filming, she replied: “But honestly I’ll just lie down… that’s kinda an easy job. But we’ll see, I have no clue.”
As yet, we still have no official release date for the fifth and final season but reports have suggested it probably won’t be until 2024.
And it appears as though Sink is already feeling slightly emotional about wrapping up after working on the show for so long.
Speaking to presenters Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush on Today about how she thinks filming her final scenes will feel, she explained: “It’s going to be awful. It’s going to be horrible.
“These kids, this entire cast and crew, it’s family. People say that all the time, but I genuinely mean it.
"And to think that we have to say goodbye to that security and knowing that we’re not going to be seeing each other for another season?”
