Netflix released the photo on January 8, 2024, officially announcing the start of filming for Season 5. The post, titled "THIS IS A CODE REDStranger Things 5 production has officially begun!" showcased familiar faces including Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, the Duffer brothers, and Sadie Sink.
Sink's character, Max, experienced a dramatic conclusion to Season 4 after appearing to die from injuries sustained while battling Vecna in Volume 2. As the episode ends, Max is in a coma and Will has a sense that Vecna is still alive. Despite Sink's presence, fans are left speculating about Max's potential involvement in Stranger Things Season 5, considering it a potential "spoiler" that has been leaked.
One fan excitedly posted on X/Twitter, "SADIE IS THERE!!!!!" while another speculated, "I SEE SADIE SINK SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT SHE WILL WAKE UP???" A third fan chimed in with, "YOOOOO SADIE SINK IS THERE, MAX IS GONNA BE ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."
The extent of Sadie Sink's involvement in Stranger Things Season 5 remains unclear, with questions about whether she will be filming flashbacks or new scenes. Some believe she will definitely be returning, with one user stating, "they know that Sadie Sink is not returning to Stranger Things 5 alive – of course she’s returning."

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the release of the first official cast photo for Stranger Things Season 5. The anticipation for the new season has been building for months, and this photo has only made me more excited. I can't wait to see what the Duffer brothers have in store for us this time.
The potential spoiler that fans have spotted in the photo is intriguing. It's great to see that Max is still alive, but I wonder how she will be involved in the new season. Will she be able to recover from her injuries? Will she have any lasting effects from her encounter with Vecna? I can't wait to find out.
