The much-loved cast of Stranger Things have reunited to start filming the fifth and final season, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled! Netflix recently announced the start of production for the highly anticipated season, but it seems they may have inadvertently revealed a major spoiler.
In a post on X, the streaming platform shared a photo of the main cast members, including the show’s creators, the Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross, reading through the script. The caption read: “THIS IS A CODE RED. Stranger Things 5 production has officially begun!” This news was met with excitement as fans eagerly awaited the continuation of the thrilling story, especially after the cliffhangers of the previous season.
However, the observant fans soon noticed something amiss in the picture. It appeared that one cast member’s presence may have given away a crucial detail about their character’s storyline. The spotlight was on Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield, as her fate was left uncertain at the end of the last season. Max had faced numerous challenges, including dealing with her abusive stepbrother and becoming a target of a serial killer. The viewers were left wondering if she had survived all the heartbreak and danger.
The excitement among fans was palpable as they shared their theories and relief about Max’s survival. One fan exclaimed, “Max is alive!” while another thanked the heavens, saying, “Max is alive thank GOD.” Social media buzzed with the news of Sadie Sink’s presence, confirming the return of Max Mayfield and easing the worries of fans.
During an interview on the Today show last year, Sadie remained tight-lipped about her character’s fate but hinted at her involvement in season five. She expressed her anticipation for the emotional final season and stated, “Spoiler-free, just with the way my character ended in season 4, I have no idea what is going to happen. But I’ll be there.”
The Duffer brothers also revealed that they had initially planned for Max to exit the show in the season four finale but later changed their minds. They wanted to leave the audience with more questions, paving the way for an exciting continuation of the story.
As Netflix gears up for the final season of Stranger Things, fans eagerly await the answers to their burning questions and the thrilling conclusion of this beloved series. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride!
