Sadie Sink Already Knows She’ll Be Emotional When Stranger Things Ends – Looper

With the upcoming fifth season of “Stranger Things” intended to be its last (via Deadline), the emotional weight of saying goodbye to these characters has started weighing on audiences. Similarly, their actors have felt the impact of leaving their roles behind. In an interview with Backstage about her roles as Max Mayfield on “Stranger Things” and Ellie in the upcoming Darren Aronofsky film, “The Whale,” Sadie Sink described her feelings. “I’ve been thinking about that a lot recently,” the actress said. “What’s it going to feel like knowing I will never play this character again—this character who has set my life on a course I never thought it would go on? To never play that character again will be a very sad day.” Sink hopes to continue playing characters that challenge her in new ways.

Sink is not the only “Stranger Things” actor upset about the show’s ending. In an interview with Good Morning America, Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on the show, expressed her thoughts, saying, “It’s gonna be hard, of course. It’s like my high school, I grew up on the show. They’re like my school friends … But I’m never gonna not see them again, and I’m sure Netflix will make it last for as long as it can … it is just so much a part of my career and so formative, and I’ll always remember my experience with ‘Stranger Things.'”
