Sadie Sink is keeping a piece of Stranger Things with her long after the series wraps.
The actress, who plays Max Mayfield, shared that she went home with a few memorable items from the Netflix show, a small way to hold on to the world that made her a household name.
While walking through LAX on Friday, Sadie told TMZ she snagged Max’s skateboard from the set. It’s not something she rides around on, though.
She revealed it now hangs above a doorway in her home, serving as a personal reminder of her years on the show.
She also held on to a cassette Walkman, an object fans know played a crucial part in Max’s story during the most intense moments of season four.
Her airport appearance came just a day after the cast reunited for the Season 5 premiere, and despite the chaos at LAX, made worse by the government shutdown, she handled the scene calmly while answering questions.
When asked about the rumoured tension between Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour, she didn’t stir the pot, keeping things smooth and drama-free.
Fans are buzzing for the series’ return, especially after Netflix surprised everyone by dropping the first five minutes of Season 5 on November 6.
The clip sends viewers back to November 12, 1983, the night everything began. In the exclusive preview, Will Byers is shown drifting in and out of consciousness in the Upside Down, softly singing Should I Stay or Should I Go before jolting awake to the roar of the Demogorgon.
He fires a gun while trying to escape, but his attempt fails, leaving audiences anxious to see what comes next.
As excitement builds, fans are sharing theories and emotional reactions online. One viewer joked that the preview went by too fast and they “need more,” while another wondered if the new footage connects to Will saying he was saved by Vecna.
Others admitted they aren’t ready for the heartbreak this season might bring.
Netflix has confirmed that Season 5 will roll out in three parts, Part 1 on November 26, Part 2 on December 25, and the feature-length finale on December 31.
With the show coming to an end, Sadie’s keepsakes feel even more meaningful, giving her a personal tie to the adventure she and viewers have taken with Stranger Things over the years.
