Linda Hamilton, the actress best known for her iconic role as Sarah Connor in The Terminator franchise, is thrilled to be joining the cast of Netflix's hit show Stranger Things.
Hamilton has been a huge fan of the show since its inception in 2016 and had even considered retiring from acting at one point due to her busy schedule and hip problems. However, after getting an offer from the Duffer brothers, she jumped at the chance to be a part of the show.
"I was like the farthest thing from a scientist at that moment in time," Hamilton recalled about her initial meeting with the Duffer brothers. "But they were very pleasant, and their team is just amazing."
Hamilton will be playing the role of Dr. Kay, a military scientist, but it's Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven that holds a special place in her heart. The two have been spotted together on set, and Hamilton has praised Brown as "stunning to watch" and "so lovely."
"I'm just her biggest fan," Hamilton said. "I really am." She also commended the Duffer brothers for their well-oiled machine-like approach to filmmaking, citing their attention to detail and ability to work together seamlessly.
Hamilton admitted that working on Stranger Things has been a game-changer for her, but she couldn't help feeling a twinge of intimidation at first. "There is a definite part of me that was a little intimidated to come in to a show that already had a certain rhythm and momentum," she said.
Despite the challenges, Hamilton has been thrilled to be a part of the Stranger Things team and has praised their collaborative approach to filmmaking. "It's just wonderful to watch," she said.
In an interview with Variety, Hamilton opened up about her experience working on the show, sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes and gushing over Millie Bobby Brown's talent. With her Terminator franchise fame and Star Wars stint under her belt, it's clear that Hamilton has been a huge fan of Stranger Things from its very beginning – but who knew she'd end up joining the cast?

. I mean, can you imagine her as Dr. Kay? It's like they're trying to recreate The Terminator in Hawkins, Indiana 
. But for real though, she seems super stoked about it and I love how passionate she is about Millie Bobby Brown 
. I've always been a fan of the show myself, even back when it was still in its infancy 
. It's amazing to see how far it's come since 2016. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go rewatch all the Stranger Things seasons for the millionth time

i've been shipping her and millie bobby brown together since season 1 
they're both amazing actresses and this is going to be so epic!!! i loved her in the terminator movies but this is like, a whole new level of awesomeness 
can't wait to see what she brings to the show 
And I'm all for Millie Bobby Brown being part of the cast, Eleven is literally iconic, but what if Hamilton's character Dr. Kay shakes things up? 
. Bring it on, Stranger Things! 
. Millie Bobby Brown is already amazing as Eleven, but having Linda on board is like a bonus cast member 
. The Duffer brothers must've won her over with their charm, 'cause she's totally stoked about the project 
Millie Bobby Brown is literally amazing and I can already imagine the epic moments between Hamilton and Eleven 
The Duffer brothers are total geniuses for making this show happen - their attention to detail is everything 
can't wait to see what Hamilton brings to her character Dr Kay 
can't believe they got her on board, and millie bobby brown's reaction to havehamilton joining must've been priceless 
anyway, linda seems so lovely and talented 
It's like her own career has been a stimulus package for her acting skills - suddenly getting a boost from being part of Stranger Things! 
.
. Now, let's get ready to see some serious sci-fi action with Dr. Kay joining the mix
