After facing off against Vecna, Max went into a coma in the Stranger Things 4 finale. But the show won't want to keep Sadie Sink offscreen for long.

Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) may have ended up in a coma in the Stranger Things season 4 finale, but she isn't likely to stay there long for the show's fifth and final season. However, things look grim for her now, as she did momentarily die from her fight against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) may have been able to revive her, but while Max is still alive, she hasn't been able to regain consciousness, and there's every possibility that Vecna has something to do with that.

With her powerful storyline grieving her brother Billy and becoming prey to Vecna, Max was the undisputed star of season 4. Sink's performance was universally praised, particularly for the "Running Up That Hill" sequence in "Chapter Four: Dear Billy" in which Max was able to escape Vecna's clutches upon hearing the popular Kate Bush song. Outside of Stranger Things, Sink's star is on the rise, as she co-stars alongside Brendan Fraser in the highly anticipated The Whale. With that, it's unlikely that Stranger Things' production team will want to keep Sink on the sidelines for the show's final season.
