SCI-FI horror drama Stranger Things has announced a new addition to its cast. During the recent Netflix’s Tudum event, Stranger Thing Season 5 will feature ‘Terminator’ actor Linda Hamilton.
But Hamilton's character is still under wraps, according to Variety.

The actor is synonymous with her recurring role as Sarah Connor in the Terminator franchise. She acted in the first film in 1984, in ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ in 1991 and again in the film ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ in 2019
Hamilton also appeared in ‘Children of the Corn’ and the TV series ‘Beauty and the Beast’, for which she earned an Emmy nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.
Apart from Hamilton, other iconic ‘80s actors to play in the show include regular Winona Ryder as well as Matthew Modine, Sean Astin, Paul Reiser, Cary Elwes and Robert Englund.
In February last year, it was learnt that “Stranger Things” Season 5 would be the show’s last. It does not have a premiere date, nor has it started production.
Series creators the Duffer Brothers announced last month that they had begun writing the final season in 2022. But they would not begin production while the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is on strike.
“We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out. #wgastrong” the Duffers wrote. – The Vibes, June 18, 2023
