Sadie Sink is opening up about Stranger Things Season 5.
Stranger Things Season 5, which will be the final season of the ultra-popular Netflix series, is expected to be released in 2025. Sink is reprising her role as Max Mayfield in the show’s last outing, which wrapped filming in December 2024.
What did Sadie Sink say about Stranger Things Season 5?
Speaking with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Sink explained how Stranger Things Season 5 was “hard to shoot.”
Our crew just worked so hard every single day,” she said. “Us, as actors, we’re not there every day, but the crew was for that entire year. With that, and with the material that we’re working with where it’s such a big show, you go up and down. Your emotions just kind of shift a lot. But, definitely, we were all on the same page during that final push in the last month, where it’s like, ‘This is hard, this has been a tough year, but oh my god, I don’t want it to end.’
Noting that the final day was “difficult, for sure” to film, Sink also touched on some of the “amazing” character arcs and performances that will be featured in the final season of Stranger Things.
“I think everyone did such an incredible job, truly,” she explained. “The overall thing I’ll say is that this is the season where you really get to see all of the former child actors as adult actors. The Duffers have always done a great job of meeting us where we’re at with the material. Just how much everyone has grown as performers, in this cast. There are some really amazing performances and arcs. I’m so proud of everyone.”
Official plot details for Stranger Things Season 5 remain under wraps at this time. The cast also includes Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna, and more.
