The release of a Stranger Things season 4 script page could give fans some clues about Max's fate. Stranger Things is one of Netflix's most successful shows of all-time, having broken several viewership records during its run. Season 4 premiered on the streaming service earlier this year, and the show's fifth and final season is expected to be released sometime in late 2023 or early 2024. Since its 2016 premiere, the show has also grown into a franchise of its own, with a book series, graphic novel series, games, and a Stranger Things spinoff project that is currently in development.The Stranger Things season 4 finale left fans of the show with several massive cliffhangers, including the fates of Vecna, Max, and all of Hawkins. With one season left of the Emmy Award-winning series, speculation has already begun of what will become of fan-favorite characters, and who will survive through to the end. Throughout season 4, Max (Sadie Sink) had several near-death experiences, including her now-infamous floating, Kate Bush moment, but came the closest to dying in the season 4 finale, when it looked as though Vecna might have finally gotten to her. However, Eleven revived her just in time, keeping Max alive despite sustaining serious injuries. Though it appears Max is still alive after her run-in with Vecna, Max's fate might not be so clear-cut after all.Related: Max Could Be Eleven's Secret Weapon In Stranger Things 5In an image posted to Twitter by the Stranger Things writers, viewers are able to see the script for the scene in which Eleven revives Max. Though the dialogue is fairly similar to how it appears in the show, one line of direction stands out: "a BRILLIANT KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLORS fly at the camera. Just like when Eleven sent One into another dimension." See the script page from Season 4 Volume 2 below:

Though Max seems to have physically survived Vecna's attack, as the finale of season 4 shows her unconscious in a hospital bed, the revealed script page has fans wondering if Eleven really did save Max. Responses to the post have Stranger Things fans debating if Max might still be in the Upside Down with Vecna, as the script directly compares Eleven reviving Max to her sending One into the Upside Down for the first time. While Max's injured body might be alive in Hawkins, her mind may be somewhere else.

There have been several fan theories about potential Stranger Things season 5 plotlines, but one of the most notable is the idea that Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) may have survived his Upside Down death, and become a member of Vecna's army. However, if this page of script is any indication, perhaps Eddie might not be trapped with Vecna, but Max instead. With the Stranger Things writers continually releasing season 4 script pages, audiences may find more season 5 clues in the coming months.
