With Netflix’s blockbuster sci-fi series Stranger Things nearing its final season, the show has added actress Linda Hamilton, best known for playing Sarah Connor in the Terminator franchise.
There is no word yet on who Hamilton will play on the new season, and production has halted due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.
