Linda Hamilton
, famous for her role in the
Terminator movies
, has been a big fan of "
Stranger Things
" for a long time. But her feelings about the show changed after she joined the cast for its fifth and final season.
She explained that her experience of being part of the show has made it feel different for her now. She expressed that she enjoyed watching every season before joining the cast, but now it's like she doesn't quite belong in the '
80s-themed world
of the show.
Linda described feeling a bit like an outsider, which has changed her perspective on the series. She mentioned experiencing something like "
imposter syndrome
," where she doesn't feel like she fits in with the show anymore.
For Linda, being in a project changes how she sees it, so she prefers not to watch it once she's involved. She believes seeing herself in the show would take away from its reality for her.
Although Linda didn't reveal her role in the series, she did mention that even she doesn't know how the show will end. She understands the need to keep things under wraps to maintain the excitement and surprise for viewers.
"Stranger Things" Season 5 began production earlier this year, but fans will have to wait until 2025 for its premiere. Linda's decision not to watch the final season reflects her respect for the show's integrity and her desire to preserve her own experience of it.
