Season five will feature a huge new name, with Terminator star Linda Hamilton joining the Netflix show. However, she has stated that she won't be watching the series as she doesn't like to watch herself in any of her projects.
“When you really buy into something, you don’t see yourself in it," she said. "So I think in a way, it kind of ruined the show for me. I never watch [a project], once I’m in something. It would just completely take me out of the reality of it to see myself in there. So I won’t be watching [season 5].”
Stranger Things seasons 1-4 are now streaming worldwide on Netflix.
