Sadie Sink, best known for her role as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things, recently made an appearance at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, where she debuted her new film O’Dessa. While promoting her latest project, Sink also took a moment to reflect on the emotional conclusion of Stranger Things as the series wrapped up its fifth and final season.

Tears and Goodbyes on the ‘Stranger Things’ Set

As fans eagerly await the release of the final season, which wrapped filming in December, Sadie Sink shared her anticipation. “I haven’t seen anything from it yet, I’m very curious though,” she said. “It’s going to be super emotional, so I’m ready to cry with everyone.” She also admitted to shedding plenty of tears during the filming’s final day. “I had cried so much that my eyes were so puffy,” she recalled, adding with a laugh, “They had never been like that before, and there are some pretty embarrassing photos of me just with these giant puffy eyes.”

A New Challenge with ‘O’Dessa’

While fans are still processing the end of Stranger Things, Sadie Sink is already moving on to her next big role. In O’Dessa, she stars as the titular character, a farm girl on a journey to retrieve a family heirloom and save her true love in a post-apocalyptic world. Sink explained that when she first heard the concept of a “rock opera,” she was intrigued but needed to hear the music before committing. After falling in love with both the character and the musical world created by writer-director Geremy Jasper, Sink knew O’Dessa would be a perfect next challenge for her career.

With both the conclusion of Stranger Things and a fresh role in O’Dessa, Sadie Sink is embracing new challenges, leaving fans excited to see what’s next for the talented actress.
