Linda Hamilton, known for her role as Sarah Connor in the Terminator franchise, recently spoke about her upcoming appearance in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Hamilton explained to US Weekly that while she is a longtime fan of the show, she won’t be watching the final season, as it takes place in the ’80s and she feels like she doesn’t belong in that world. The actor likened her casting to imposter syndrome and expressed that seeing herself in the show would take her out of the reality of it.
The details surrounding Hamilton’s role in Stranger Things are currently under wraps, but her casting was announced in June of last year. Despite not watching season five, Hamilton shared that she has watched every other season with “relish.” She has been a vocal fan of the show in the past, and even tweeted about it in February of 2018.
Many fans are excited to see Hamilton in the final season of Stranger Things, but the actor’s decision not to watch the show herself is understandable.
