Linda Hamilton’s Role in Stranger Things Season 5 Explained
Linda Hamilton, famously known for her role in the Terminator series, appeared for the first time on Stranger Things in the trailer for Season 5, offering a brief look at her character that will be featured in the final season of this popular Netflix program.
Though specifics about Hamilton’s part in Stranger Things Season 5 have yet to be disclosed, let me share all the information that has been made public up until now.
What role is Terminator’s Linda Hamilton playing in Stranger Things Season 5?
As a movie critic, I’m thrilled to share that I will be taking on the character of Dr. Kay in the upcoming season of Stranger Things. Over the years, I’ve become well-acquainted with high-octane roles, and my most iconic performance remains that of Sarah Connor from the Terminator saga. In this new series, it appears that I’ll be diving back into action, a realm where I feel right at home.
The sneak peek for the last season hinted at Dr. Kay’s character involvement. In this preview, it appears Dr. Kay is engaged in a struggle against the Demogorgons. Given that she’s surrounded by armed individuals and carrying a firearm herself, it seems likely she’s connected to the U.S. military or another government branch. However, specifics about her role remain undisclosed.
Additionally, given that Eleven is likely to be evading authorities, Dr. Kay could potentially become the main adversary chasing Eleven. Her part appears to be more than just a minor one. Hamilton has mentioned in an interview with ComingSoon about the demanding filming schedule. “It was quite a lengthy process. We filmed eight episodes over the course of a year, so I’ve never been on a project for this long,” she stated. This suggests that she plays a significant role in the series.
More details about her role should arrive soon. Season 5 will premiere on November 26, 2025.
