Stranger Things Season 5 has been building intrigue for the drama that is set to unfold in its finale, especially with its latest update.

This ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Update Has Fans Crying in the Corner

Fans of Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] have
emptied their pot of bad news, at least more than halfway, following the end of
the WGA strikes in September. Even as the Duffer Brothers and most of the cast
joined the strikes, the Netflix series tried its best to keep the fans intrigued
as it dropped one exciting update after another. However, none of the updates,
even that of Linda Hamilton joining the cast for the finale, could compare to
the latest announcement.

The Netflix series wrapped up the fourth season of Stranger Things at a very
high point, both in terms of a cliffhanger thanks to Sadie Sink’s character and
viewership ratings. However, with its latest update, the series has confirmed
that Sadie Sink will be reprising the role of Max for the finale and fan
reactions have truly mirrored those of falsely convicted prisoners being set
free.

Stranger Things has announced that Max will, in fact, be returning for Season 5.
The reason why Max’s comeback has generated such surreal reactions from fans is
that she was lying in a hospital bed in the finale of the last season as Millie
Bobby Brown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/]‘s Eleven
embodied every fan’s emotions as she sobbed inconsolably at her bedside.

Tears of joy, however, are not the only reactions that this announcement has
generated owing to Stranger Things’ track record in such matters.


STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 UPDATE HAS EXTRACTED DIVERSE OPINIONS FROM FANS

One of the major generators behind the anticipation for Stranger Things Season 5
is Sadie Sink’s character and her inconclusive state towards the end of Season
4. Sink’s character, Max, was among the frontrunners in the last season and the
cost of it was facing two brutal attacks by Vecna. While she was strong-willed
enough to brave through the first one, the second attack, despite the help of
Eleven, proved to be lethal for her. Or so fans thought.

The news of Max’s return has earned many gasps of variations of “OMG” from fans
of Stranger Things. While they are naturally excited about her return, most of
the fans are refusing to believe in the news. Especially as the show has been
announcing the return of many presumed dead characters

The Stranger Things fandom thinks that the creators are only telling the
half-truth. “In one shape or another,” wrote one fan, alluding to the popular
fan theory that Max will be an antagonist in the final season or will be a part
of Vecna’s army. Some fans even believe that Max is likely to be blind in the
finale, just like Victor Creel.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
