Stranger Things is a popular Netflix show set in the 1980s in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. The story follows a group of kids who discover strange events caused by a secret government lab experimenting with supernatural powers.
These experiments open a portal to another world called the Upside Down. The show mixes horror, mystery, and adventure, with lots of 1980s references. Production on the fifth and final season has wrapped, and it is expected to premiere in 2025. Sadie Sink played one of the primary characters on Stranger Things season 5: Max.
After finishing her part as Max on Stranger Things, Sadie Sink brought home some unique props. These included items that are precious to her, such as Vans footwear, Kate Bush cassette albums, Walkmans, and Max's skateboard.

The cast of Stranger Things
The success of Stranger Things is greatly influenced by its cast. Eleven, a teenager with extraordinary abilities who turns into a hero, is portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown. The plot revolves around her transformation from a lab experiment to the person who saves Hawkins, and Brown has gained a lot of admirers for her portrayal.
Jim Hopper, the stern yet kind Hawkins police chief, is portrayed by David Harbour. Over the course of the seasons, Hopper transforms from a hesitant hero into a father figure to Eleven and a vital combatant of Hawkins' evil forces. Particularly in season 4, when he finds himself imprisoned in Russia, his role becomes even more significant.
Other important characters include Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, a mother who would do everything to protect her children, and Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, the group's leader.
Will Byers, played by Noah Schnapp, is grappling with the effects of his experience in the Upside Down. Dustin Henderson is played by Gaten Matarazzo, who brings both comedy and intelligence to the part. Together, they constitute a team that keeps the audience engaged and makes Stranger Things a must-see.
