After Max’s unexpected floating in the Stranger Things season 4 trailer, fans have been desperate to know why, but actor Sadie Sink won’t spoil any details. Sink joined the Stranger Things cast in 2017 for season 2, where her character quickly found herself entangled in the horrors that reside within Hawkins. The events of season 3 saw the eventual demise of Max’s brother Billy after he was possessed by the Mind Flayer.
Season 3 brings about the mourning of several characters but sees those remaining preparing for a more hopeful future. Unsurprisingly, that doesn’t seem likely as the trailer suggests that Stranger Things season 4 is diving even further into its darker, haunting themes. Season 4 threatens an upcoming war as the characters struggle to settle into normal life. Both her friends and viewers were shocked to see Max seemingly gain the ability to levitate out of nowhere. This quick glimpse at Max floating above her brother’s grave has fans believing that even in death, Billy is still connected to the Mind Flayer and is using it to possess Max.
