Stranger Things' director Shawn Levy on directing Max's return, that Jonathan-Nancy scene, Will's big moment and his final day on the set.

Netflix has ruined another once-great TV show with an absolutely abysmal batch of new Stranger Things 5 episodes.

Sadie Sink, who plays Max, opened up about the emotional wrap of 'Stranger Things'. She described tearful goodbyes on set, highlighting the cast's mutual support. Sink anticipates a bigger wave of emotion when fans finally watch the finale,

Stranger Things is coming to an end after nearly a decade, and Sadie Sink is explaining Max's true fate as more is revealed in the latest episodes.

The scene is one of several tear-jerkers in the second volume of episodes, released on Christmas Day. In addition to a whirlwind of emotional sequences, the back half of the season is finally beginning to provide some answers about the Upside Down and the evils that Hawkins has been facing this whole time.

We recapped and reviewed Stranger Things 5 episode 6, “Escape From Camazotz,” live here at Winter is Coming. We don’t have to wait long to find out what happens next in the Upside Down. Nancy shoots at the sky, and suddenly, we see a big glowing vortex, followed by an explosion and the emergence of energy bolts that travel across the dimension.

As viewers will recall, Max was taken under Vecna’s spell, her bones broken, eyes damaged, and put into a coma. Season 5 revealed that Max had actually been in a trance this whole time, stuck in the space she’d end up calling Camazotz when she crossed paths with Holly Wheeler ( Nell Fisher) there.

As Netflix's meghit series comes to an end, Sink is filled with all the emotions as she closes this chapter with her character Max. She's also ecstatic about what's next.

Jamie Campbell Bower is used to playing the big bad — whether his name is Vecna, One or Henry. But in Volume 2 of “Stranger Things,” he takes the character a step further into possibly his creepiest yet, a cult-leader-like performance as Mr. WhatsIt.
