The news of Linda Hamilton\u2019s casting for Stranger Things<\/a> season 5 was a delight for the actress and fans alike, but sadly for Hamilton, the show will never be the same.<\/p>\n

Hamilton, best known for her work in the Terminator movies, has always been a big fan of the Netflix sci-fi series, but things were ruined for her as she began filming.<\/p>\n

In an interview with US Weekly!<\/a>, she said: \u201cI\u2019ve watched every season with relish. I just love it. So it\u2019s kind of, like, imposter syndrome where I don\u2019t [feel that I] fit in there. That\u2019s a whole world set in the \u201980s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you really buy into something, you don\u2019t see yourself in it. So I think, in a way, it kind of ruined the show for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never watch [a project] once I\u2019m in something. It would just completely take me out of the reality of it to see myself in there. So, I won\u2019t be watching [season five].\u201d<\/p>

Hamilton\u2019s role in the final season of the Netflix series is still being kept under wraps and things are still fairly secretive.<\/p>\n

She explained that co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer gave her the \u201cshape of the character but not of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to be very careful with their story,\u201d she told the publication. \u201cSo I still don\u2019t know how it ends. And it takes a lot of discipline to not know where it\u2019s going to go. But that\u2019s to protect it from all the people that want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as a lack of information about Hamilton\u2019s character, not much is known about the plot of season 5, but it\u2019ll likely have something to do with the shocking ending of season 4.<\/p>\n

The last season saw Vecna\u2019s curse split Hawkins into four pieces and now fans know Max (Sadie Sink) is very much alive<\/a>, there are a number of questions about what will happen to the friends this time round, but it\u2019s \u201creally good\u201d according to Hamilton.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do get to be there for table reads and watch it unfold and be part of it. I\u2019m thrilled to be part of it,\u201d Hamilton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I just never, ever saw that one coming. It is different when you\u2019re a fan of the show to sort of go, \u2018Well, how do I fit?\u2019 But we\u2019re working on it. It\u2019s good. It\u2019s really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
