Linda Hamilton Says She ‘Won’t Be Watching’ ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5: Being Cast ‘Ruined the Show for Me’


Linda Hamilton said that being cast in the Netflix series has 'ruined' for her the experience of watching it.

— hopefully by blasting some of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” on her Walkman — she will not be watching the final season despite being a fan of the 80s-infused, “Dungeons and Dragons”-inspired Netflix drama show. Hamilton jokingly referenced having friends constantly text her to see where she is on set so they can then try to piece together and decipher parts of the coveted show’s story and lore. Recently, cast member Gaten Matarazzo — who plays the fan-favorite Dustin Henderson — appeared at MegaCon Orlando (via CBR) and was asked if there were any changes he would make to the show’s first four seasons, to which the actor didn’t hesitate to say that more characters should’ve been killed off.
