Stranger Things star Sadie Sink says she's been in touch with Kate Bush since the singer's anthem "Running Up That Hill" was featured in Season 4.
Bush's song played during a gripping scene featuring Sink's character, Max, in Season 4 and became Max's theme for escaping monsters. Sink said she further explored Bush's catalog after "Hill" played such a pivotal role in the season.
"I did finally get to get in contact with her in other ways," Sink said in a Zoom interview for her new film, A Sacrifice. "I'm so thankful for her contributions to the show and to the character of Max so she holds a very, very special place in my heart."
"Running Up That Hill" was originally released in 1985 and re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2022 after being featured on Stranger Things. The song passed 1 billion streams on Spotify in June 2023.
In her interview with UPI, Sink also said she's anticipating bittersweet feelings as Stranger Things films its final season. Season 5 of the Netflix hit is in production for a 2025 release."I would keep going if they wanted to because I don't really remember a life without it," Sink said. "So it is going to be a super bittersweet ending."
Sink joined the cast in Season 2 and was last seen in Season 4, which left Max in a coma. The actress is still part of the Season 5 cast.
"I owe everything to the show," Sink said. "It put me in the position to continue to do what I love."
UPI will present the full interview with Sink and A Sacrifice co-star Eric Bana at the end of June ahead of the film's June 28 premiere.
