“For a while, that is what was going to happen.”

Well, hold on to your butts, because according to series creators the Duffer brothers, the Netflix smash hit’s latest season was supposed to be much different from what you actually watched.

OK, so you already know that Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) was technically killed by Vecna — but she was also rescued by Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and is currently comatose.

That means, as of right now, that Max isn’t dead — but the original plans for Season 4 involved killing her off entirely.

“It was discussed as a possibility,” Ross said about killing off Max for good. “For a while, that is what was going to happen. We wanted to end it in a little bit more of a question mark at the end of the season, where it’s still really dark and we don’t know if Max is going to be OK.”

Ross also added that putting Max in a coma instead “[leaves] it a little up in the air moving forward” for Season 5, effectively upping the ante for what’s gonna happen in the end.

Matt also stressed that Max’s coma is integral to where Season 5 — which is largely written already — will be going.

“The fact that she’s in a coma, I can’t really get into the details, but it is important that she is,” he said. “That is going to have a major effect on [Season] 5. So, it’s not a cheat. It’s incredibly relevant.”
