Stranger Things Fans Will Love Sadie Sink’s New Movie O’Dessa
Stranger Thingsfans love action, adventure, big twists, and strong character development, andSadie Sink’s upcoming musical movieO’Dessasounds like it has all of those things. According toThe Hollywood Reporter, the movie will premiere at the South by Southwest festival, which will start on March 8th, 2025.O’Dessais about the title character, played by Sink, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world and decides to leave home to look for an heirloom. She not only falls in love when she gets to a new place, but she has to fight for her new partner’s life, too.
It sounds like O’Dessa and Max have a lot in common. While they might live in different worlds, they’re used to fighting good and evil, and they care about the people in their lives, too. WhileO’Dessais a musical and that’s very different from the tone ofStranger Things,both projects are set in a terrifying and violent world. Although Hawkins, Indiana is still intact intheStranger Thingsseason 4 finale, it seems possible for the apocalypse to take place in the fifth and final season. It’s also possible that the Upside Down will trickle into the rest of the world or, at the very least,the world will become aware of the evil in Hawkins.
