Sadie Sink is preparing to bid farewell to “Stranger Things.”
As a cast member since season two, Sink has spent the better part of the last decade calling the Netflix show home.
But, with the show’s finale — Season 5 debuts in three parts over the next six weeks — streaming into the world, Sink is ready to plot out her future.
One thing we know for sure: if Sink has anything to say about it, she will remain her naturally redheaded self no matter what role she takes on next.
The 23-year-old actress sat down with Glamour magazine to discuss her hopes for the future and what she will hold on to from her star-making “Stranger Things” tenure.
It must be noted that, while the Netflix series made her a globally recognized star, Sink spent the past fifteen years appearing in everything from Academy Awards darling “The Whale” to playing the title role in “Annie” on Broadway.
Sink was even nominated for a 2025 Tony Award for her performance in “John Proctor Is the Villain.”
Described by her friends as “funny, kind, and thoughtful,” Glamour extrapolated, “She is the sort of friend you text your deepest, darkest secrets to without fear of judgment or, worse, a leak to the press.”
The actress is currently living in London while filming the next “Spider-Man” film.
Though Sink draws the musical line at “Annie,” she shares that she would not be looking to reprise that role. “That’s all people are going to get,” she said, despite feeling a kinship with the fiery redheaded stage character.
“Anyone with red hair knows the ups and downs of your relationship with it. Sometimes you’re like, Yes, I love my hair. It’s the best thing ever. And then sometimes you’re like, Oh my Gad, I hate it. I just want to change it.”
But even on her down days, her red hair will remain part of her uniform.
“What you hear your entire life as a redhead is to never dye your hair. ‘People pay so much money for that hair.’ So I never have, and I don’t think I will.”
To that, the beauty purist added, “I like the idea that my hair isn’t dyed. I don’t have any piercings or tattoos or anything … I like the idea of never doing anything.”
